I've been checking out the Roku streaming TV boxes. I have Amazon Prime and I would like to be able to make use of the free videos that come along with it. I usually use the Tivos to get my TV stuff, but you can't get Amazon free streaming on the Tivo, just the pay streaming. (Go figure!)
The Roku player is a fairly cheap solution to the problem, getting all kinds of streaming such as Netflix, Hulu plus, Amazon, etc. If Comcast would allow it I could even get the HBO Go but I guess they don't have that going. There are a something like three models of the Roku 2, depending if you want USB, wired network, or go with the cheapie that just has wifi. 60 bucks for the cheaper one seems good to me.
I wonder if this will be anyone's Black Friday deal. Or if they will have any best buy coupons. That would make it even better. This is going on my Hanukkah list.
