Netflix, Pandora and more in 1080P to your TV with Roku (Starting at $69.99)

 
Roku is the highest rated and best value in set-top boxes for watching media from the internet and your PC on your TV, in high definition.

For under $20 a month you could subscribe to Netflix and Hulu Plus to watch almost anything you want, whenever you want, and cancel your cable or satellite subscription.  These services are updated with new TV shows and movies constantly.

The Roku box also plays your computer media libraries (like .mp3, .mov, .mkv, not .avi) over the network or attached hard drive or thumb drive.  This includes photos and home videos.  This article shows all compatible file types:

To connect to the internet, Roku uses a cat5e cable (the same kind your PC uses), but what sets Roku apart is that it also includes wireless, at prices that normally won't buy you this feature.

Roku 2 XS 1080P (Now compatible with every hookup except optical audio)


Roku 2 XD 720P (wireless connection only)


Roku 2 HD (best value)














Roku XDS (compatible with any internet, TV and audio hookups)


Roku XD


Roku HD (not recommended at this price)

If wifi isn't important to you, and .avi support is, then you want WD TV Live instead:


Less apps, more Blu-ray, still does Netflix:
