I probably should have been clearer. The one being sold at Ben's Outlet is the 2XD one. Unless you're a gamer, I don't see the new Roku 3 model as adding a lot of functionality.

I tried using the Plex server/client combination, but never goit it quite right. I was able to watch a few episodes of Haven in .avi format that way, but the video quality was decidedly pixelated, and I couldn't figure out how to persuade it there were new videos in the folder -- I kept adding new folders. Eventually, when I made the final switch over to the new computer, I didn't bother to install the Plex server on it. It's probably my fault for not figuring out how to work things properly, but all the documentation I found seemed to assume you already knew what you were doing, and I didn't.
