Here we are a month to the year later that this unit was to be introduced. I purchased one. I like the sound and the audio streaming and limited radio stations, which are positives. The negatives are: M-crew software for Vista is less than stable, keeps losing server and no way to regain it. M-crew software for XP is much better because it gives you the opportunity to manually select the ICF settings. The unit will not stream or play internet stations with out the correct settings. The other major problem is that the computer has to be on either to use the unit wired or wirelessly, and finally, it will only accept radio stations with the extension .asx at the end. Thanks to Roku's radio list for finding these stations out there. All in all a nice unit but not worth the near 300.00 price tag.
