I'm calling the cops
My parents are looking to cut the cable to move onto purely internet content for their TV.

They would like for it to be as uncomplicated as possible. I've heard that the Apple TV is the easiest to use out of other boxes like Roku, Boxee Box, and WD TV. But to what degree?

My parents have been able to stream Netflix with our Sony blu-ray player(so they have some experience), but they would just like something that treats streaming content as a primary function, rather than an add-on.

For the added benefits(such as Amazon VOD, CNN, MLS), would something like the Roku 2 or Boxee really be that much more complex to use in comparison to the Apple TV?


Thank you in advance!
