Just curious, do you not join sites that don't support Roku? Seems as though that would limit you quite a bit - can't you just download and then use Roku to stream on your local network?

I have tried just using my PC, but it's very limiting, and it's not as convenient as the Roku. The Roku is like my DVD player with a remote for changing shows, searching for porn stars, scenes, etc. With a PC, I need to be sitting at my desk, no remote. With Roku I can be relaxing on my couch. But you're right, using the Roku is very limiting compared to what's out on the net. Outside of Roku is the cable provider offerings at three times the cost.
Roku is fairly new. My hope is more and more of the sites out here will offer it like Videobox, ScoreTV, RK. Good question.

I agree that wold be limiting, but can't you use the player to stream videos that you downloaded from your PC to your TV? Or is it that you just don't like to download them?

The Roku runs off the web and needs special programming between the web site (like NetFlix or a porn site like VideoBox)and the Roku device.
If I had a laptop and an HDMI output that connected to the TV, that would work -- but it would be limiting. I like to browse the movies, fast forwarding to scenes, rewinding good scenes and that would be more challenging with the keyboard/mouse vs the remote I use with Roku. The way I browse through the movies, I'd need to download everything too.
But I do like the content on these other sites, so I'll keep writing them in hopes of convincing them to offer their content via Roku too. Roku is relatively new.
Thanks!

There are apps you can get to stream content directly from a locally networked PC to a Roku connected TV, you should look into it (Plex is one I found), I use my Xbox360 to stream videos to my TV, and it is convenient - I assume the Roku these apps would have the same effect although I have never used a Roku.

Good idea. This would be awesome if it could work. I'll look at Plex. It should be similar to Xbox. Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for the suggestion to use Plex. It works! Now the world of porn is available to my Roku!
