Re: Streaming video - my experience
Cool, I'll check it out.
We watched Bluestone 42 on a recommendation last night but though it was a bit lame.
This is a great site for seeing what's available plus you can use Unblock-us' Netflix region changer to get the full Netflix selection:

I tried watching the 1st series of B42 and thought it was a load of shite - not all comedy is created equal
I'll check out that site

Frankly, if I were looking to enter this market I'd be looking cheap (eg <$30) and with inbuilt SmartDNS to bypass geolocking so you could easily access the world's TV catchup services from one box. Kind of like "TuneIn" but for global TV. Add on 802.11n, the ability get Netflix, etc. and stream your local DLNA/Plex content and you are away. Control would be via a smartphone/tablet app which would provide second screen capability.

Okie dokie, just checking, I was going to discuss a bizarre episode in series 2
but I won't spoil it for you. 
Is True Detective any good? I've finished HOC now.
Paul have you watched HOC yet?

Apple TV available at BigW for $64

You have to find a store with stock (looks like they are clearing them out). IFAIK it's the latest generation model, which means it's not possible to hack, which limits it significantly. However, for the fanbois....

Beware Roku + Netflix will turn you into a couch vegetable.
Also Roku works really well with synology http://www.synology.com/en-global/
for streaming local content.
