New: Netflix Ready Devices for your TV

http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/
Just noticed a couple of hours ago that this came out today.

 Thought I would mention it here since I've seen a few widgets made for use with Netflix accounts which made me figure there may be people interested.

Damn, how do you justify getting this when you have satellite TV. I wonder if I can have both.  :SURPRISED: 

Wonder if you can connect multiple TV's?  :LOL:

yw. ;)


Ended up ordering it myself right after making this post.
I don't bother with cable or satellite because I didn't used to be home enough to make it worth it. So I've gotten in the habit of just sticking to movie rentals when I had the time to watch something.

Think this will work out great as I am home a lot more now (work from home most the time) and they have a glitch in their online service that spikes my cpu to damn near 100% until the entire movie has been buffered.

So this will save some wear and screen space on my pc when I want to watch something. ;)

Initial response to my order:

You can expect your order to ship from our warehouse in the next day or two. At that time, we will send you another email to notify you that it is on its way. Thank you again for your order.


An email that came today:

Thank you for ordering The Netflix Player by Roku. Your order has been received and will be shipped as soon as possible. Interest in the Player has exceeded our expectations and as such, we are experiencing some delays in shipping. We expect your order to ship next week. Please be assured that your credit card will not be charged until we ship your order.


So they must be getting a lot of interest or they just weren't ready for the launch the day they launched. :NOTSURE:

Do the tv shows or movies have commercials?

Tried to find a link to the Instant Watching list for you but I guess you can't see it without signing up for an account. :NOTSURE:


They have over 10,000 movies/tv shows that you can watch on the instant service.

Alot of them are older movies and tv shows but there are quite a few that are more recent movies and some recent shows. And they add more on a regular basis.

I've found plenty of stuff to fill my Instant Queue with but I guess it is all a matter of personal preference.
