If you don't know about the Roku here's what you can get http://www.roku.com/ If I really like it and get used to this plus my digital over the air channels, who knows, I may get rid of cable
It is all too complicated for me. I can't even figure out why Netflix says that I can no longer watch Live movies and TV because my computer isn't powefull enough. It is a brand new computer!
Bryan keeps telling us to get a play station to download to the tv. Maybe we should get Roku instead, not that we were planning to get the play station anytime soon.
Perhaps you should get a Wii. They are fun and great exercise!
Oh, and you can watch Netflix Live with a Wii.
I didn't know Wii hooks up with the tv.
DR Jane - The Wii is basically just another gaming console. Just like XBox and Playstation - and Atari(!) - the only way to view the games is via a TV. It's not a self-contained system.
Roku started out as a Neflix viewer before Wii, Blu-Ray and every thing else could also stream Netflix. It is still a Netflix viewer, but also has many many more "channels" now. Almost anything you can imagine, NASA, lectures from universities, classic movies, music, games and more all streaming to your tv. There is no subscription to Roku, just to some of the channels. I don't know how else to explain it. Here are some of the channels
