To further clarify, I
imagine Roku's position is that HLS is superior in many respects to MMS, and is the protocol of the future. Expending effort to support older streaming formats which may not be completely supported by the underlying chipset is probably counter-productive.
While it would be nice to be able to interface with more existing sites, I have to say that I agree that HLS provides some awesome capabilities, and is the future of streaming at this point.
