What about google tv? That's why I had to sell mine, no hulu support.
It still has the ridiculous limitation that some shows can only be watched on a computer and not on a mobile/dedicated device, right? I never understood that reasoning, why there are some shows that I have to pull out my laptop to view rather than using my Roku.
