[olug] Off topic: Roku box users?

[Jeff Hinrichs]

Anyone know of a box or app that can do:
 - Netflix
 - smb shares
 - dlna

I've got Myth, in a rack,recording shows and a NAS device holding my media.
 Currently I'm using XBMC + Hulu desktop on my main TV (I prefer the
interface to Myth), but I've got 2 other tv's I'd like to have access and I
want to add netflix.  As far as I know, Roku doesn't do smb shares/dlna -

p.s. I really like my synology diskstation.

I think Boxee is over-hyped and is too user specific which doesn't fit with
a family (multi-user) environment, imho.
