Algae, this is Gumby's wife--I have a Roku and love it! Since I've bought it, I've found that there's another updated one for the price I paid--that would be the best way to go. AND you can stream Hulu to your Roku, (though it costs about $8 a month) which I'm really looking forward to. Someday.
Anyway, it's a good way to get some old shows on instant viewing, and some of your movies.
