NetFlix Player for $100 |
|
<div style=''>Yeah, you read that one correctly. Netflix has just released their
oft-rumored set-top box, and from the looks of things they have a real
stunner on their hands. The new hardware, manufactured by Roku, is a
diminutive, fanless box that sports a HDMI and optical outputs
alongside the standard component cables. The player is designed to
integrate with your home network, and doesn
t have any on-board
storage, with all media being streamed by way of your broadband
connection. Movie selection and download is executed by way of
Netflix
s custom TV interface, navigable by the included Roku remote
control. There
s currently a catalog of roughly 10,000 films, with many
more planned for the future. The best part, however, is that unlimited
streaming is available free of charge for anyone with a Netflix account
over $9/month. It doesn
t get much better than that. There are a couple
of downsides, including no current support for HD streaming (Netflix is
planning on implementing this in the future), limited new release
catalog, and no built-in title search.<br /><br />Thanks boygenius!<br /></div> |
