said by xargs  :said by tiger72 :The problem there is value. That Roku box only does netflix. Roku is talking to other content providers. They don't have an exclusive agreement with Netflix. Nor does Netflix have an exclusive with Roku.
Good to see there are other boxes.
I love Netflix streaming. It actually works 100%, even on 768k DSL, and it never gives me BSOD or reboots or any of the usual video / DRM / windows / usb nonsense.
The library is fairly spartan at 10,000 titles, but it provides me with more than I could ever desire to watch.
I'm optimistic that Netflix will figure a way to deal with the licensing for the rest of the titles.
We'll need Netflix, Blockbuster Online, Amazon and Google's combined legal pocketbooks to fight against unreasonable caps. Otherwise, online delivery will go the way of DAT, DCC, Personics, Divx, Beta...
Lets hope Microsoft doesn't find a way to ruin a good thing. |
