Though like I said above, I guess it goes to show that there really isn't a perfect set top box out there. Rokus are close, but the interfaces of anything made from their SDK are generally pretty ugly and there are some definite limitations. Hopefully it's an area we see some progress in the near future.

I think it has to do with the Apple Brand name. they're known as offering high tech solutions for low tech people. really with atv's you don't have to jb it, you can just plug and play. 2-3 years ago, i couldn't tell you what a roku is, and im pretty tech nerdy. now with the roku, the raspberry pi, wd, and google tv/chromcast i think we're going to see some major progression in that area.
