For the TV streamers
Can anyone tell me what's the better one out of the Ouya Box & The Roku 3 - I am getting conflicting reports on both .
Have seen a few people complaining about the Ouya not being comparable to the Wii and the Xbox but I have no interest in using it to play games just more for making the "tv a smart tv option"

Re: For the TV streamers
I did think for a short time about the apple tv but to be honest I am a bit against the whole " apple system " ( a bit ironic considering there are at least 6 apple devices in the house 
)
One of the reputable reviewers ( I think Cnet ) was pretty big that if you don't like the apple format then Roku was the way to go

We have the Roku 2 and now it is set to pretend to be in USA, I like it. Canadian content is quite dull, as you would expect.

Re: For the TV streamers
There is a subscription channel you can get for it, or use a VPN.
AppleTV does work great, if you've got Apple devices. It's a bit shit working with other stuff and a lot of the content requires you have the cable services to log into the the channels to work, which somehow defies the point.
Also a fair bit more expensive than the other contenders. It is nice though.
