Roku Player #2 has arrived

Oh happy day!  My second (replacement) Roku player has arrived and I've got it hooked up and playing a movie.  Setup took all of four minutes.  The Roku hardware design isn't prefect but it's pretty darn good.  I think the box will work very well at home using Time Warner but I'm not sure how well the streaming video will work using Charter Cable on the Outer Banks.  To that point I'd rather have the Roku stream and store a movie or two to internal flash media.  But that's not how it's designed nor is there a 802.11n wireless adapter (an 802.11a would have sufficed, just something to get off the 2.4 Ghz spectrum and over to 5.8 Ghz).

Anyway, I'll get some photos posted.
