Good price. Have it, love it, use it everyday! Use it primarily for netflix but we do use amazon on demand and pandora almost weekly. Occasionally some of the other misc. Channels.

Product testimonials from the brand site.

I do a daily woot blog where I talk about the woot, link to CSEs, find reviews, etc. A few people have told me it's useful. Google "useful linkage" and there it is.
