Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
I'd love to see a lot of VOD providers offer channels for Roku - definitely Hulu (my new online video love), but also anyone else who offers VOD subscriptions (WWE, etc.). The possibilities this creates for channels that aren't just video, but that deliver other web-updated content, seems pretty cool, too. If enough new channels pop up, I might get a Roku player.
I spent two months trying to get the Roku box audio to work. I talked to five incredibly incompetent techs (one of whom insisted that HDMI cables didn't carry audio so I bought a set of separate HDMI cables. Nothing worked, so finally the next to last tech agreed the box was defective and should be returned. I followed his instructions exactly and Roku claims they never received the box and that it was the post office's fault. I am now out $180 and have no access to Instant Viewing.
The people at Roku are real scum bags. Don't do this to yourself!!
