Thanks everybody for all of your helpfull opinions, so I went and bought a Roku last night.
Now I gotta sign up for Hulu Plus and a movie app. So far I am pretty happy with the unit, very easy install and seems to be very user friendly, maybe too user friendly as it is very simple. And I can't believe it didn't come with a HDMI cable, that's my fault for not reading but you think the BestBuy rep would have suggested it.

Man I just found out Hulu doesn't have The Walking Dead or Ink Masters.

REALLY!?!?! I would have never guessed that! I figured Hulu was your best bet at all current shows. I haven't looked through what it has and doesn't have because GoogleTV isn't compatible yet. Everyone raves about Hulu Plus though.

Amazon instant may have it, but my guess would be that you have to purchase it to watch it.

I may eventually buy a windows TV, I was checking them out yesteday. Pretty awesome operating system in a TV!
I need to subscribe to Amazon instant and Hulu Plus, thats my plan so far.
