Can you merge Roku in to Media Center?
I am looking to cut the cord using streaming content with OTA. I do not want to leave the MC environment to do it. I would like to have all the content available via Roku within MC. Has anyone cracked that egg?

^ That seems pretty limiting. Would it not be possible to write a WMC channel for the Roku device. I am not suggesting it would ever happen, but it could be done, especially if limited to OTA. It could use something like the remote potato or my mediacenter back-end services.
EDIT: Oops, sorry, I didn't read the 'I don't want to leave MC environment" part.

What about other front ends like XMBC. Would that work?

Not a bad idea. If the guy who makes Remote Media Center for Android made a Roku app of equivalent capability, you'd nearly be there. It would likely leverage Remote Potato to get the job done.SJMaye wrote:I am looking to cut the cord using streaming content with OTA. I do not want to leave the MC environment to do it.
