Roku Netflix Player Streams Netflix Content on TV
Netflix subscribers have access to over 10,000 movies and TV shows.
Netflix and Roku have teamed up and released the Netflix Player by Roku, allowing Netflix subscribers to stream an ever-growing library of movies and TV shows from Netflix directly to their TV.
The player has been released for a one-time purchase of $99.99, giving Netflix members access to more than 10,000 movies and TV episodes.
The player (5-inches wide x 5-inches deep x 2-inches high) comes with a remote control (with batteries), an A/V cable, power adapter, and Wi-Fi capability.
If you don't have wireless in your home, no worries, all you have to do is set up the box to the TV and then to the computer.
It also has HDMI and component video connections. However, you Netflix aficionados know Netflix doesn't support HD. The company, however, says the new player will be compatible with HD once Netflix offers HD content.
"We're excited to bring the first Netflix ready device to the market," says Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood.
"The seamless integration of the Netflix service into our player has resulted in true ease of use for the consumer.
"Now, streaming video isn't limited to people sitting in front of the PC; it's ready for the TV in the living room."
