I have broadband 1.6 mps. I have never set up anything so easily. It is connected with an HDMI cable. The picture quality of most of what I have watched is fantastic. I have it connected to a new Samsung 1080 50″ plasma. I have put over 100 titles in my Netfix Instant Queue, foreign and indie films and TV Series that I missed and have been recommended by others, etc. These should be sufficient to hold me over until Netflix gathers more licenses. I was also happy to see that the box is very small. I just placed it on top of my DVR. I highly recommend this amazing player. It’s an inexpensive entertainment investment for anyone who subscribes to Netflix.

to the guy who is having problems with the wireless… might be worth trying to connect/configure the thing while connected before trying the wireless. sure, you can do it directly using wireless. mine setup right away using my wireless… so it does work.. just because yours did not does not mean its not worth it..

oh, wait, did i tell you my neighbor had a bad apple tv? oh yeah, maybe they should work that out..

hah…

Just got one yesterday and will be sending it back on Monday. Took about 30 tries to connect. Never changed any settings, it just finally connected. I have a good wi-fi signal. The device sits right next to my computer with an 8 year old wireless card. My computer shows a full signal, but Roku cannot stay connected.

The idea is great, but let’s get this thing working properly before we start selling it.

Piece of junk. It is not worth the $15 dollars in shipping you lose to try it out.

AND THE TECH SUPPORT is only available Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm. How the hell are they supposed to help me when I am at work? The internet support is also a waste of time.

Netflix needs to get with Apple. The product may be more expensive, but at least it will work as described.

I think ZillionTV might be the LCD TV of the future. Any thoughts?

LCD TVs with all sorts of things built directly into them are coming – set-top boxes, streaming hardware, CPU/OS/web browsers, gaming chips/media sockets, you name it. We’ve been shown some very interesting things in the past few months which we’ve been told will be hitting US markets starting early 2009.

Please someone build a LCD TV with Firefox built in – I think FF 3 now has intuitive zooming capabilities.

I dont want just NetFlix built in… I want the Internet built in!

You should be able to manage your Watch-Now queue directly from the device. Once the quality of the video improves, I can see this competing with the Apple TV.

No more boxes.
