But then you don't have any of the big streaming services, so it's not really an alternative to Roku.

You'll need to do a little more legwork to replace them.

That's true. You will need to install the applications by yourself. A bit of work but worth it, I think.

Are the desktop apps usable with a controller?

Last time I tried they didn't work well at all.

What I meant was getting a media server running.
