[Hidden-tech] PC to TV connection - Xbox isn't Blu-Ray out of the box

[Andy]

For those of you who are interested in a Roku box, I see that today, and
today ONLY, sellout.woot.com is offering them CHEAP.

Keep in mind that this is a Refurbished unit AND it is only good up to 720P.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with anything under 1080P but this is a cheap
and easy starter unit.

Roku HD Wireless Media Player
$39.99 + $5 shipping

Condition:
    Refurbished
Product:
    1 Roku N1000 Wireless 720p HD Media Player with Ethernet & HDMI Ports

I'm just sayin'...

Count me as one of the people with Roku and what I like about it is its
simplicity. I just connected it to my TV, did some minor configuration with
Hulu Plus and Netflix and I was ready to rock and roll.
