I'm sick of outrageous cable bills. Help me find alternatives. Netflix isn't it
 
Like I mentioned in the other thread, I use: Netflix, Amazon Video (included as part of Amazon Prime), and my Plex Server to host my own media.

Amazon and Netflix have a similar line up. There's also Hulu Plus for TV shows.
 
^^ link is broken.

XBMC would be for running on a dedicated PC that's hooked up to your TV.

Roku is meant to take the place of that dedicated PC and instead be a low-power, small box that runs Android and you can install apps and such. This includes watching media on it. Similar to a Chromecast, tho doesn't require a device to "cast" to it like CC does. Amazon also has their FireTV and are going to be releasing their Fire Stick soon (similar to the Roku).
