The good: The Netgear Neo TV NTV300 offers a decent selection of programming -- including Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and Pandora -- and some customization of its home screen. In video quality it's mostly on par with other units of its type.
The bad: Some key video apps are missing. The unit is prone to sluggishness either in the interface or on occasion during playback. The remote control is overly squishy and the D-pad makes navigation harder due to some poor design decisions. The UI is a little crowded in comparison with those of competing products. Connectivity is limited to HDMI-out only.
The bottom line: The Netgear Neo TV NTV300 is one of the cheapest streaming boxes on the market, but it doesn't offer any compelling distinguishing features compared with the Roku.

Summary: If you need something to view slingbox on a TV for cheap, you sir have a winner here. I think if you want to use this as a daily consumption device for Netflix/youtube and other apps you would be better suited going elsewhere.

Great alternative to (now discontinued) Slingcatcher
by loose_screw on February 5, 2013
Pros: Cheapest device to stream Slingbox.
Cons: Remote control has mushy rubbery keys, Sling app is slow to respond (so no forwarding through commercials pretty much).
Summary: Great if you have a Slingbox and want to watch it on your other TVs without a PC.
