I know that many of us take advantage of the mail in movie services like Netflix and Blockbuster. Personally I use Blockbuster because of the ability to exchange movies at a real store at anytime I want however, Netflix does have a cool service to combat the fact they lack true brick and mortar stores. Netflix allows you to stream movies to your PC instantly which most of us know that already. However there is a new device called a Roku box that lets you stream Netflix movies directly to your TV. This is very cool it's like having an entire Blockbuster store in your house and you can watch any move at any time assuming they have it ready to stream. With your Roku box, you can finally tap into (a portion of) the Netflix library without having to wait for physical discs to arrive. Best of all this little Roku box is only $99.99!!though unlimited access to online films still requires an $8.95 or higher monthly fee for the traditional service). Plus the Ruku box can even utilize a wireless signal to pull in streams, but you'll need a pretty fast wireless router to do so. For those of you who have Netflix you may want to check this thing out. Seems like a great way to enhance your ability to each movies on demand. For more info go to http://www.roku.com/

This thing seems really cool and supposedly streams good quality and I think it even has a HDMI connection. The reason I haven't got it yet is because it seems to offer a very slim selection of new releases at this time but hopefully that improves soon.
