Roku is not to be trusted:
Their HD media player never lived up to the claims they made for it on the thing's own packaging. It's a wonder no one's slapped them with a class action suit.

(For example: They actually sold the thing with iTunes visualizer-like graphics shown on the side of the box--in actuality, it was a bit more like an old (malfunctioning) arcade game, Qix.)

Their customer service also has a disturbing tendency to disconnect tech support callers with troublesome questions.

Roku--words like shady, sleazy, and unethical come to mind.

Buyers, beware.
