As Easy As 1 – 2 – 3

1. Wired or Wireless, The Choice is Yours
You can connect the Roku player to the Internet using most broadband providers (such as a cable modem or DSL connection.) You need at least 1.2 Mbps to watch movies instantly on the Roku digital video player with decent quality. The faster your connection, the better the quality (although this rule-of-thumb peaks out at about 5mbps). Use the built-in Wi-Fi capabilities to connect to your wireless network, or use the Ethernet port for a wired connection. It’s easy either way.

2. Connect to Virtually Any TV, New or Old
The player comes complete with everything you need to get connected right away. It even includes the standard yellow, white and red cables. Or use the HDMI or component connections with your new HDTV.

3. Control is at your Fingertips and Easy to Understand
The Roku player is easily controlled using the handy included remote. Choose the item you want to watch, play, fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume play later, just like watching a DVD.

small footprint, works well, no surround sound, September 17, 2009

This product is small and won’t take up much space in your entertainment center. It works well with a wireless internet connection. The only negative is the lack of surround sound with Netflix.

Could there be more awesome buys?, September 16, 2009
By Antony Passemard
I rarely rate the things I buy, but this thing is just exciting!
I already had a Netflix account for DVD and was hooking up my computer on the TV to watch some movies from time to time.. Of course, I didn’t have a remote to pause or anything which was annoying.. The fan of my computer was doing some noise and the fact that it had the screen open at the same time as the TV was also annoying.. Anyway.. I saw the Roku box, around $100 and I thought that would be a great way to replace the PC for a cheap price.

I received it super fast (I’m actually supposed to receive it tomorrow according to amazon..), and started playing with. Installation is very easy, even though it has to reboot twice (once for the first firmware update and once because I said I had an HD TV) so it doesn’t take 3min as advertise. Let’s say about 10min total and done.. I can access my netflix Queue and start watching.

The image quality is better than with my PC (which was a surprise), and the sound is fine too.. It pauses, navigated well.. honestly I love it! And it’s so small you can hardly notice it. I only have one HDMI cable now instead of a VGA + Sound cable from my PC, which my wife appreciates! We watched two episodes of NCIS with no commercials! (commercials are just a Pain…).. Great.
