experience with Roku over Sonic?

Has anyone, particularly anyone in the Sebastopol area, had experience with Roku?

The attraction to me is that it's hardware that you buy (for not a lot of money, even
for the most expensive model) and there are no subscription fees, unless you choose
to use it with Netflix or another subscription service.

Since Sonic offers really speedy connections around Sebastopol, I think it might be
a really nice alternative to cable. The question is how much variety of content is
available.
