IMHO, Amazon's free collection that comes with a Prime membership is quite horrible. Or maybe you like different stuff than me.

And their interface on Roku is even worse

- ugly, long lists of movies with no way to search or skip through the list

- all seasons for a series (I think Doctor Who has some 20+ seasons there) are placed in the above list as individual shows (rather than being grouped together), and are not even in chronological order

Netflix's interface on Roku is a godsend in comparison.




No argument about the interface. In fact, I'd say most of the interfaces on Roku leave something to be desired (especially Hulu!).

I'm basing my catalog comparison on the fact that I found most of the things I watch with Netflix also on Amazon. Maybe my particular interests have a strong intersection with Amazon's selection, though.

Eh? No, they do have a search screen.

Though I agree a Netflix-style queue would be nice.
