I've got a couple of those that I bought shortly after the LTT video, but I'm still using my Roku because I still haven't gotten around to jailbreaking and configuring them.

Do it. It's very easy, and then you can ditch the Roku. There's even an ADB app you can load to remove unwanted apps on-device.
