Roku hits back with HD Netflix


Roku hits back with HD Netflix
Sorta cross posting from the digital TV weblog, but this is just as relevant here in my opinion!

Netflix, while a wonderful service for the PC, has always been limited by being just that; a service for the PC. With the advent of the service on set top boxes like Roku and the xBox360, this limitation has vanished! I can finally watch on demand movies and television from Netflix, on my television. Just what I wanted!

If you are a 360 owner you have probably got accustomed to the HD content, but Roku owners have been left in the dark ages, with SD streaming being all that there is available; until now! The 1.5 firmware update for Roku enables HD streaming, just in time for Christmas!
