| The Bottom Line | Sony's SMP-N100 streaming-video box isn't the easiest to use, but it offers an unparalleled feature set at its price. | Sony's SMP-N200 streaming-media box packs a lot of functionality, but it's hampered by a subpar user interface. | The Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, with tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance, and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack. | The WD TV Live (2011) offers a solid combination of must-have streaming services and excellent USB and network file support, making it one of the best devices of its kind available for under $100. | The Apple TV is an indispensable living room companion for invested in iTunes content and Apple hardware, but for everyone else it's a step behind the Roku 3. | Basic specs |
