For me what's missing is Amazon instant video. I understand why it doesn't have it, but it's a real bummer. Would also be nice if I could watch NBC sports, but I think I might be able to and just haven't figured it out yet.

I know each company has their own product, but supporting all the popular formats/apps would really mean the best platform wins. After all, is Roku _really_ the best product?
Well, it's not bad at all, it's cheap, it comes with a massive amount of content, it doesn't require a phone or tablet, and it comes with a remote. Considering the market... maybe?
The not so smart TV software is horrible. If I pause anything it basically crashes, and it takes 6 min from boot to wifi connection.
For Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Google Play it works great.
I actually have the original youtube channel from way back, before it got pulled from the available channels. it may have been a private channel of someone's and Google didn't like it looking like it was from them, it wasn't even close to parity with youtube phone/web features.
