I looooooove the Netflix streaming service, it's almost too much, it boggles my mind...

I told my wife recently, "Did you know that, basically, by paying 8 dollars a month, we effectively OWN over 20,000 movies?!" Now that they're putting the Criterion films into the mix, I may never get anything done around the house again.

I usually watch on my laptop but I'm very tempted to pop for their little Roku box and stream to my TV. (or I could just buy a BluRay machine but my entertainment setup doesn't really warrant one of those yet...)

Either way, if the Netflix business model is the future, I'm in.

We're seriously considering on getting the Roku box.

If I can figure out how to stream hulu.com to my television I'm canceling our cable subscription.

I use it all the time.

What finally pushed me off the fence about Netflix was the availability of streaming to my HD TV using a Blu-Ray player. I love my LG player for both the streaming and the better upconverting of DVDs.

I use a device called Roku to stream Netflix movies to my Television. It's the greatest device. It's easy to use and the quality of the films is great.

I just whipped through season 5 of The Office and 5 seasons of Lost (started in September and finished a couple of weeks ago).

As for the technical requirements... as I mentioned, my father-in-law bought a device called a "Roku" for around $99 (I think). It works with Wi-Fi but not very well so I ran a cable under my house and plug it directly into my cable modem which gets between 5MPS to 25MPS, usually around 15MPS. I bought an HDMI cable and quality is nearly HD. My Wi-FI just isn't fast enough even though I have a new Wi-Fi router. It stutters a lot and got annoying. But with the cable plugged in it's nearly flawless.

It's really the wave of the future. My only complaint is that there aren't more films available instantly.

I use it. Last night I streamed "Food, Inc." Over the weekend, it was "Children of Paradise."
