    Anyone currently using Roku in their truck? What kind of 'setup' do you have to make it work the best? We've got Roku at home and it is freaking awesome. Would be great to have in the truck as well.

    I dont have it in my truck, but ive got it at home. I dont use it much, as fast forward and rewind are just about worthless. I use netflix a whole lot more.

    Im kinda bummed on the whole deal. I have Netflix, Amazon and Roku and they all have just about the exact same content.

    I have heard about Slingbox and I've seen in at Best Buy. Don't know much about it and I've never read any literature or articles or checked out their web site. Do you have any luck with it?
