ATV was decent but to get decent features it needed to be jailbroken. Then when jailbroken it liked to constantly crash in apps. Going without plex is just not an option for me so I needed the jailbreak. I think if more people realized what plex can do when properly setup most would be running plex.

Additionally the cross platform search on the Roku is hands down better then anything else out there. Click on search and it will check every single app (and personal media) you have installed for that media. No more looking on netflix then hulu then crackle for a movie, just search and it finds it and directs you to that app.
I agree. I held off on plex for years before just recently when I realized it can do streaming with a subscription plan. That's what I've wanted out of iCloud since it was announced. I'm engrained enough in the Apple ecosystem that it might be hard to switch out my Apple TV's, but I like having it set up on my Mac.
