Content Costs Extra . I got the Akimbo & plugged it in & connected it, no problem. The challenge I have with it is that after paying a $9.99 monthly subscription fee, I really expected to see some good content. But what I've found is that all of the good, premium shows & movies cost more--a couple of bucks individually. The shows that come with the monthly subscription seem to be lower tier national geographic/short form/special interest type of programming. It doesn't grab me as worth the monthly subscription fee & I find I'm not watching it enough to justify.
The other frustrating thing for me was that after getting it all to work initially, I had to go download the content, which basically took overnight since it's coming through my broadband connection. I'm not opposed to content being downloaded, but I what I really would have liked would have been a bunch of content preloaded on the device & "just there" so that I could get started watching!
The Akimbo UI is good and intuitive. They've done a good job integrating account management controls from the PC as well.

RCA Akimbo Video On Demand Player Featuring the Akimbo Service Reviews
Best system for renting movies... . For me renting movies at a video center or even netflix is a thing of the past. This thing is great, just order the movie and you will be watching in no time. No need to return the movie or late fees ever again! The other shows available for free are great too!
