No bittorrent. This thing pretty much just plays video from netflix or amazon. It didn't look too hackable at first inspection, but it didn't appear to be locked down, just undocumented.

Hulu+ is in the works.

Here is a list of official channels:

And official/unofficial:

Also - not trying to be spammy but see if this link gets you a lower price. Their promo graphic says you get "Rokus Lowest Price". It gives me a month of netflix, so don't use it unless it helps you out.

If that doesn't work they place this link all the way at the bottom in grey text. If you're a new netflix customer you get $20 off any model.
