The best IP-STB (Internet protocol-based set-top box)

I've been trying to choose an Internet protocol-based set-top box (IP-STB). I've read about Roku HD-XR Player VoD STB, Popcorn Hour A-110 HD Networked Media Tank (aka NMT), Blockbuster STB, Vudu Set Top Box, Myka STB, Neuros Technology Link and Apple TV.

I'm inclined to buy Roku HD-XR Player VoD STB, because it supports Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand. Do you have any experience in using an IP-STB (Internet protocol-based set-top box)? Which one do you prefer?

Many people use Roku HD-XR Player for Netflix. It has pretty good reviews.

I don't recommend Apple TV unless you consume content from iTunes only.

The latest firmware of Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ allows to play videos from Netflix.
