Looking for a no hassle way to watch online movies on your tv? Roku is a convenient little set top box that allows you to easily view Netflix, Amazon On Demand, and MLB.TV streaming video on your TV. They currently offer 3 different devices that run between $79.99 and $129.99. Depending on the model you choose, you can connect with component video, S-Video, or HDMI.
If you don't already have a membership with Netflix and a login for Amazon On Demand, you'll want to set those up a head of time. The same goes for mlb.tv if you'd like to subscribe to their service. For $129 per year you get unlimited access to all out of market major league baseball games.
It's a option to consider for those who don't mind dropping a hundred bucks to watch Netflix instant offerings and Amazon's Video On Demand content on their TV without the hassle of connecting your PC or laptop to the television.
I think Roku has some potential, but for now I'd rather save a few bucks and either watch on my PC or connect my laptop to my TV with S-Video. Perhaps if Roku can team with Hulu and some other content providers it will be more appealing to me.
