[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1314835, member: 8035"] With only one exception shown on TNT, everything we watch on cable networks is on USA. All of the shows are available the next day on the TNT and USA web pages. The same holds true for all the major non cable network programming that we watch. What sold me on the mini is the simplicity of the system. All I did was upgrade my wireless router to wireless N and plug the mini into the TV via an HDMI cable. Setup complete. To me, the lack of blu ray isn't much of a detractor because 1) there is plenty of HD content available online 2) I own a blue ray player for the occasional blue ray rental and 3) I haven't actually bought a DVD in years. I've been reading a lot about plex but I'm not entirely sure what it does? Is it just a fancy player? VLC has played every video file I've every thrown at it. One upgrade I'm considering is buying one of the elgato tuner/dvr sticks just in case I want to record something played OTA like a football game or particular news show. [/QUOTE]
