Let's see...missing channels, double-dipping, terrible DVR, very expensive -- hmmm, can't see how this is anything but the worst value offering in the market. Happy with SlingTV, TabloTv and no $160 per month DirecTV bill.

Another expensive half-solution from Sonos; looks like they haven't learned the Bose lesson. Look folks, spend $280 on a pair of ELAC B6s and $400 on a Yamaha A/V receiver -- the results will blow the Sonos (and Bose, for that matter) off the track. Yes, there will be cables and wires...oh, no!

Roku adds six to ten channels every week. This paltry Apple update is newsworthy?

DirecTv has had this capability for some time.

We have both on our Roku and the Amazon interface is excellent -- easy to sort, easy to categorize and easy to see the video status. We also use the built-in app on our Samsung TV and it is also a breeze to use. Content is in the eye (and taste) of the viewer; for us, Amazon is far superior...
