Thanks, I'll stick to my PBO Core which turns even an old black-and-white tube set into a "smart tv." (Although there isn't a lot "smart" on television or YoubeTub anyway...)

Nice price for sure, just keep in mind you need a "Roku Ready" TV (one with an MHL port) for this to work.

TU for the price, but there are very few TVs that are MHL compatible. I would bet at least 95% of "newer" TVs bought over the holidays are not MHL compatible.

Am I wrong in my assumption that TVs with MHLs are already smart TVs, giving you access to the main channels one would use Roku for (amazon, netflix)?

I'm a big Roku supporter, but the "600+ channels" thing is a bit deceiving. Probably 500 have garbage content.

The MHL port can be used for more than just Roku. That's probably why. Don't up the price of your own TV when you can let the consumer buy whatever device they want.

This does way more then just Amazon / netflix.
Roku has over 600 + channels, not to mention unlisted private channels.
