The best way to look at the time warner deal would be similar to epix or HBO Go - IF the service is offered to you, then you can utilize the service via the Roku player with simple authentication rather than being locked into your cable box.

It's interesting because I just talked to TW and they told me the only way a Roku will work is if I subscribe to TW Cable TV. This will be an opt in channel, not a requirement. This is similar to Time Warner offering an app on your iPhone or Android device, you would have the option to install it or not, but in no way will it be required.

I keep flipping back and forth between getting a Roku or not because of this invasion of the very thing I do NOT want which is cable TV and regular TV. Even though the Roku is all independent and everything, letting a cable company in like Time Warner is going to lead to disaster. I use Time Warner broadband for internet access and now I hear they are invading the Roku.
