    You wouldn't mix the two, instead, use roImageCanvas alone to do all the display. If you are displaying a user interface with buttons and lists, you would be better off using roScreen and related components

    Joel, are there any examples of using roScreen to display an interface similar to Netflix or Hulu's (with a slideshow of promotional images on top and a gridscreen below)?

    Yes, I understood that Break.com uses roScreen. My question is whether a sample exists with similar navigation and working videoplayer for us to adapt?
