SpongeGuard join:2009-08-09 Port Alberni, BC	Roku box or equivalent from trustworthy Canadian retailer? I'm looking to buy a Roku box or equivalent from a trustworthy Canadian retailer. I see on the unblock-us site a link to »www.onlybestrated.com/roku-2-xd-···yer.html I'm not sure if these guys are trustworthy, otherwise I'd have purchased this in a heartbeat. If anyone could offer any advice I'd greatly appreciate it. Also worth mentioning is that I am looking for something capable of streaming Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, last.fm, the whole works. I'd go with a boxee box if they had non-rooted hulu, but they do not.. so..

I suppose I could just head up to staples and buy a bluray player with the bravia platform. That's Hulu capable.

Merovingian Cause and Effect join:2011-03-31 Toronto, ON kudos:1 Reviews: ·TekSavvy Cable 1 edit	Does it have to be a stand alone box? Or can you make do with a secondary "notebook+HDMI" to your HDTV or if your HDTV supports wifi to your router. In which case XBMC would be a GREAT choice for you. I ♥ my XBMC Eden(beta2) with Canada on Demand plugin + Navi-X its been unbelievable. *XBMC Eden Beta 3, now »xbmc.org/download/ Feb.9th release.
