Why The Roku Xd Is A Media Game Changer
It wasn't that long ago that I remember watching Cable Tv for the first time. I remember using the giant, grid channel changer box. It had a wire that ran to Cable console. Now we can stream movies and digital content straight to our home theater systems. Things are changing quick in this space and the Roku box is one of the leaders.
Roku means six in Japanese. Supposedly Roku Ceo Anthony Wood named the company since it was the sixth prosperous company he would be complicated in. So, what's so extra about Roku? Well, for starters, let's being with what the Roku box is. The Roku box is a dedicated box to cope streamed, digital media. Now, that may not seem impressive until you comprehend what that means.
Roku is also incredibly small, incredibly powerful, and inexpensive. The Roku Xd is 4.9 x 4.9 x 1.2 inches and it weighs only 2 pounds. It fits incredibly well into any home theater setup. People regularly don't observation it until I point it out. Roku Xd includes ports on the back that include: Hdmi, composite, and ethernet. It also includes an internal, extended wireless N connection. And it can render in 1080p resolution. Yep, it's small and mighty.
Now, we get to the good stuff. The setup should take you 5 minutes. I'm not kidding. And studying to operate the Roku Xd easily takes less than a minute. Sure, you have to get used to menu structure, but operating it is very easy. Roku includes Netflix, Pandora, Amazon's video on demand, Hulu Plus, Mlb.com, etc. And they are enduringly adding new features. In fact, I was just playing the extra "Yule Log" channel this weekend. You almost feel warmer with that burning log in the fireplace.
I was so impressed with the Roku box that I went out convincing my house to try it. They were all mesmerized. For under 0, you can get entrance to tons of programming. And it's a la carte. Yep, no more watching channels that you don't need or ever want. I think you can start to see why this is a game changer.
Roku puts you in charge. You can rent 5.1 channel Hd videos from Amazon. You can subscribe to Netflix for like a month and watch unlimited movies. You can pipe your music straight through your home theater system. And do it for minimal ongoing cost. It's incredible. You have music, movies, shows, documentaries, podcasts, etc. All at your fingertips. And they are adding new features all the time.
The Roku Xd box is already changing the face of home media. The small, inexpensive workhorse can bring you only what you want at minimal ongoing cost. If that isn't a game changer, I don't know what would be.
