Man, that's good you found a winner. Most SmartTV, and bluRay apps I've tinkered with have been complete clunkers for me. I attributed this to the fact that the Roku/Apple/Google/Amazon folks constantly update their units.
Perhaps dust off the ROKU, update it, and see what's new.
Around Christmas I got a Roku 3 and set it up with latest updates. It seemed a bit quicker, but not enough for me to keep it. The biggest thing I will miss is the ability to globally search for a show among all services (for example the search result would show that I can watch on Amazon Prime for $3, or Netflix for free). That was nice, but I can use CanIStreamIt on my phone or tablet.
I may have kept the Roku 3, but the remote really aggravated me. I believe every other remote I have has the four arrow keys laid out with an "Enter" button in the center. When entering text for a search, it has become automatic for me to cursor to the letter then hit the center to enter. The guys at Roku decided they needed to be different and located the enter button away from the arrows so I can no longer locate it by touch.
In any case, thanks for questioning me as I should have better pointed out my reasons in the earlier post.
Like Mark, I am a bit of a Luddite. I stream Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, and Amazon. The Sony BluRay does the job well enough (and also has SACD capability!).
There are probably other streaming capabilities where the Sony falls down, but I am living in the bliss of ignorance in that regard.
