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!
