I was an early adopter of the Roku player and since I do not subscribe to cable, it's been a staple for me. I love the Roku player. Within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box, I was watching a movie. Just like that.
Side Note: I have no affiliation with them, but Jinni.com has been a fantastic and useful way of finding Instant Watch items that I might actually want to see. It integrates very smoothly with your Netflix account. It's a tool that I use all the time.
I'd like to be able to see and sort my instant watch queue in different ways (TV shows, dramas, by star rating, horror, comedy, etc..) and/or even be able to tag the movies on the website so I can more easily find the program I am looking for. It kind of sucks to flip through 50 slots, trying to find what you are looking for.
If you think you might like to rent a movie or TV show through Amazon, I highly recommend logging into your Netflix account and double checking to see if it's available via Instant Watch. There is often cross-over.
For example, you can currently rent Man on Wire through Amazon for $3.99; however, it's available for FREE right now through Netflix Instant Watch.
I'd love to see the CBS, NBC, ABC, cable networks and HULU make their content available through Roku too.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.
