Got Netflix and HuluPlus.
I only watch 2 things on network tv. Jeopardy and Big bang theory. Wife likes Castle. That's it. Oh. METV. Memory (something TV) Nostalgia programming. Old tv shows from the 50's and 60's wife watches that a lot.
I love the roku. Lots of choices though their better stuff is dvd only, netflix that is.
Heck if netflix can do it, Intel which has MUCH more powerful resources to draw on can certainly do it. Technologically that is. Dunno about channel contracts and the like. Or govt intervention. We all know how good govt is in intervening in a good thing.
“I have a roku box. Cost $79 at a bazillion stores anywhere in the country. Love it.”
I checked into that. You have to buy the 100 dollar model to get one with an Ethernet port. The rest require wireless.
I discovered that you can buy a Blue Ray DVD player equipped with the same features(And more) for around 100 dollars. Works like a charm. Roku won’t be in business for long.
