It's a device that my wife and children play movies and shows on.

I highly recommend a Roku box as a DVD alternative. Previously I would buy or rent DVD's, but between Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, there is all the content I could possibly consume. At least personally, most movies I watch just once, so burning them to DVD does not serve much value; and those little DVD cases take up room. For that matter, finding a particular movie in a stack of DVD's becomes bothersome unless one is meticulous about keeping things alphabetized (is "2,000 Leagues Under the Sea" filed under "T" or "2").

Got a Roku Box Thingy for Christmas.

Love it.

We don't have a TV. We go through a fair amount of YouTube, etc. But the ads are getting out of control. CBS.COM and HULU got the axe after they started airing "Plan B" ads.
