Nice little gadget for a spare telly. It is a little more capable than a Chromecast at the moment and if I am right it could make a nice little client for streaming all kinds of stuff to a TV. Throw on Plex and maybe even if you have DVBLogic set up you can watch live TV streaming on it. You will need to have a decent router to make sure Wifi works well with this however.

But for about £50 it's not a bad bit of kit.

Any thoughts on this?

It's a streaming Stick similar to a Chromecast it just plugs into your TV to stream media and Internet content. Have a look at the roku site for full details
