I read about the "$20 sandwich" last year and tried it on a trip to the Paris in Las Vegas. Was going to a conference with a co-worker...and explained it to him, but he was too scared to try it.

I'm not sure if he means he's getting unscrambled cable, or if he's using the cable tv house wiring as a big antenna???

App store reviews aren't too positive

This. My closest IKEA is 5 hours away and anything that you'd really want, isn't sold online anyway.

Thanks for listing the Mac app....I never knew it existed before this article.

Roku with Plex is not a better option....it requires use of an intermediate computer that has to be on all the time. If Roku would stream directly from my NAS I'd be all over it.

Found sounded good - until I read the "extended" reviews on the app store. Seems to download all your Gmail attachments to your HDD, CPU hog, and no way to "quit" for a few. Sounds great in concept though.
