RE: Streaming TV

I bought a Roku desktop box a few months ago and it is the worst purchase I have made in a long time. It stops to re-buffer about every 10 minutes with everything I tried to watch from Netflix. It was every 20 seconds for video from CNN. I haven't used it since the first week I got it.

My internet connection usually tests out at 5+ Mbps, which is way above the 1.5 Mbps connection that Roku says you need.
