    Sorry for offtopic, I don't want to start new topic for the simple question. Could you help me? I just read the Roku 2 XS review, but I still cannot figure is it possible to watch my MKV or MP4 files by this streamer? Thanks

    The roku player is great. I'm on my 2nd one (I gave the first to the kids for the basement). The way it works is it has "Channels". There's Netflix, Amazon Instant video, Hulu, etc. You access your accounts with these sites via your Roku player through your wireless internet access. You can get your pics from Facebook on there as well. It does not, however, stream any files from your computer. It streams internet content from your accounts from sites as I mentioned above.

    This is a list of their channels: http://www.roku.com/roku-channel-store
