    Are you talking about a google tv?

    Roku's main benefit, IMO, is Netflix. It will stream other online stuff, but none of it was important enough for me to remember what it was.

    If you get a google tv, it will stream Netflix already. No need for a Roku.

      Not necessarily a google tv, just a tv with pre-loaded apps.

        Roku's strength is it will stream HULU.


        This is one of the best reasons to want Hulu...
        [ame="http://www.hulu.com/watch/50859/allstate-sugar-bowl-utah-vs-alabama"]Hulu - Allstate Sugar Bowl: Utah Vs. Alabama@@AMEPARAM@@http://www.hulu.com/embed/adQaGViMLsOrKc4YcMy5kg@@AMEPARAM@@adQaGViMLsOrKc4Y cMy5kg[/ame]

        Hulu also shows most current and past TV shows.

          Netflix announces deal to stream CBS content. Not quite sure of the breadth of the content, but regardless its nice to see Netflix adding more content. They now have content from all four major networks.

          http://www.bgr.com/2011/02/23/netfli...-content-deal/

          Content covered under the new deal includes the long-running drama, “Medium” and the summer season favorite, “Flashpoint.” Also covered under the agreement are episodes from some of television’s most iconic franchises. Full seasons of sitcom greats “Frasier,” “Family Ties” and “Cheers” will be streaming instantly from Netflix. Episodes from the original “Hawaii Five-0″ are included in the package, as are episodes from all generations of the definitive sci-fi series, “Star Trek,” and the cult favorite, “Twin Peaks.” Installments of ’60s classics, “The Twilight Zone” and “The Andy Griffith Show,” will be available as well.

            Watching "South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy" right now on streaming Netflix. Little bit of language and talk of Eric sucking Cartman's balls, but if that doesn't put you off, I highly recommend.

                      Not sure about the percentage, but I have been pleasantly surprised with the picture quality for the the HD and SD movies.

                        "My So-Called Life" is on Instant Netflix. Awesome.

                        Also, Ken Burns presents "Baseball" and "The Civil War".

                          I hadn't checked lately until a few days ago and wow, has the content continued to improve!

                            I just noticed that most of the TV seasons I had in my Instant queue have now been updated to include every episode available. For example, I had Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 1 and Weeds: Season 1 in my queue, and now I have 144 episodes of the former and about 60 of the latter.

                            Fans of British comedy should check out That Mitchell and Webb Look, a pretty hilarious sketch comedy show that now has its first three seasons available on Instant.
                            Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                            None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                            I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

                              Also The Other Guys is on instaflix. I know some of you didn't like that movie, but I enjoyed seeing Samuel L Jackson and The Rock leaping off the building to splat on the pavement. I also liked the scene where Wahlburg refuses to believe that Eva Mendez was Will Ferrell's wife.
