Does anyone have one? I'm thinking about getting one but would like to hear some feed-back first. This is a player that you hook up to your tv to watch movies from Netflix instantly.

    I love it. The only problem with it is I have three TV's. I bought two and the living room has the X-Box. The problem is you can only watch movies from two of the boxes at one time. So if the guys are watching a movie in the living room and my daughter is in her room, then I'm SOL. But, all in all, it's still worth it. Now if you have moe than one account with Netflix, then you wont have a problem. I am not willing to pay for two accounts to cover 3 rooms of free movie watching...

    i don't have one, but i thought about getting one until i consulted my computer geek cousin. he said that better "players" are coming out soon, but, overall, you're better off just hooking up a computer to your tv. and if you get a mac, you can also purchase a remote for it. so, now we have a mac mini hooked up and we can use it for netflix, mlb.tv, itunes, hulu, just surfing the web, etc. our tv is just a giant monitor!!!

    I don't have one, but after talking to my cousin, who is a computer whiz, I considered acquiring one. preferable "players" will be available shortly, he said, but for now, it's preferable to just connect a computer to your television. Additionally, you can buy a Mac remote control if you decide to buy one. Now that we have a Mac Mini connected, we may utilize it for a variety of purposes, including web browsing, Netflix, MLB TV, iTunes, and Hulu. Our television is merely an enormous screen!

    Ancient thread resurrected, but still valid. We love our Roku devices (bought multiple…one per bedroom, one for the living room), allows us to connect to all our streaming services. Especially useful to me is Hulu+, which not only includes Disney+ but also includes local television channels so I can watch sports and drop cable/satellite to save costs.
