Cable TV is a thing of the past. Nowadays downloading, streaming, and ripping your TV is the best way to watch, but not everyone wants a complicated home built media center. Here, we're going to find the best out-of-the-box, streaming set-top box so you can watch your shows on demand and ditch cable once and for all.
We'll be looking at five devices:

The Apple TV
Google TV
The Roku
The Boxee Box
WD TV Live

You've voted on your favorites before—and many of you voted for one of these five—but we decided to test all five for ourselves and see what they can do. Each device has its own niche and advantages, but they all aim to serve your movies and TV shows to you without the need for a cable subscription or library of discs.
