Hi there everyone, I don't know much of media players but i'm wondering if anyone can provide opinions on which one is better. Currently I cannot decide since Roku has more channels, cheaper and Hulu support but Boxee has a browser. In a dillemma, your input would be most appreciated. And do any of the boxes provide local toronto channels? I really want to cut my cable :(

I have a Roku, bought it last year in a trip south of the border. I personally like it, content is still not quite there for me but it does the trick to keep the kids happy and on the odd occasion we do find a movie we'd like to see. I use Crackle or Popcorn Flix, I won't pay for netflix it defeats the purpose :cheesygri

hmm i wonder if boxee plays flash or is upgradeable in this area...new lg smart tvs cant play cbc or nbc.com shows because of old flash version (that they won't release new firmware for!)

There seems to be a flash issue with Boxee regards to it not being upgradable. I'm not quite sure 100% if they fixed or not since I was only able to google information from febuary. Yeah I really don't know now, its either roku or atv2 now since i did more research.
