Does anyone have Roku? AppleTV?

I got a Roku for Christmas and like it, although you really need some sort of subscription service to get the most out of it - Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime. I think it is easy to use. The biggest problem is figuring out which service to use to get to the movie/TV show that you want.

I think the Roku is more flexible than Apple TV, as it can be used with any of the service providers other than iTunes. Purchasing individual TV shows or movies seems to be cheaper on Amazon Video than on iTunes, so I think Roku is the way to go.

I did some research on the two options before Christmas, and ended up asking for the Roku instead of AppleTV.
