Online movie rental company Netflix has teamed up with Roku to create a new device that enables Netflix subscribers to instantly stream a growing library of movies and TV episodes from Netflix directly to the TV. The player is roughly the size of a paperback book, supports both wired and wireless connections to the internet, and has a range of connectors, from HDMI to RCA. The player itself costs $99.00, and, as long as a user has a Netflix subscription of $8.99/month or more, he/she is allowed unlimited streaming from a catalogue of more than 10,000 items (though newer releases are lacking at the moment).
"We're excited to bring the first Netflix ready device to the market," said Anthony Wood, CEO and founder of Roku. " Now, streaming video isn't limited to people sitting in front of the PC; it's ready for the TV in the living room."
