Product Description

Manufacturer's Description -- April 21, 2009

Manufacturer's Description -- April 21, 2009 The Roku digital video player instantly delivers movies and TV shows directly to your TV over the Internet, with many available in HD. The affordable Roku player is compact, easy to set up and intuitive to use.

The Roku comes with everything you need to start watching within minutes of opening the box - the standard yellow, white and red cables, both Wi-Fi and Ethernet are built in, wireless remote and batteries. Start watching instantly anywhere you have a TV and a high-speed Internet connection.
More than 50,000 titles are currently available from Amazon Video On Demand and Netflix, with many available in HD.
The Wall Street Journal, CNET, WIRED, and other publications have given the Roku player overwhelmingly positive reviews.

As Easy As 1 - 2 - 3

	1. Wired or Wireless, The Choice is Yours You can connect the Roku player to the Internet using most broadband providers (such as a cable modem or DSL connection.) You need at least 1.2 Mbps to watch movies instantly on the Roku digital video player with decent quality. The faster your connection, the better the quality (although this rule-of-thumb peaks out at about 5mbps). Use the built-in Wi-Fi capabilities to connect to your wireless network, or use the Ethernet port for a wired connection. It's easy either way.
	2. Connect to Virtually Any TV, New or Old The player comes complete with everything you need to get connected right away. It even includes the standard yellow, white and red cables. Or use the HDMI or component connections with your new HDTV.
	3. Control is at your Fingertips and Easy to Understand The Roku player is easily controlled using the handy included remote. Choose the item you want to watch, play, fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume play later, just like watching a DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, March 8, 2009

By	P. Lewis "GoldWing Triker" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Roku HD Player PLUS Premium Cable Pack

Got this Roku box to compliment Netflix. Didn't really know what to expect. Opened the box and had it set up in 5 minutes, no fuss, no bother. Works really well. Can view instant watches whenever we feel the urge. Can stop in the middle and get back to it later just like a DVD. Pause to make a snack or run the dog outside. Now recommend it to all our Netflix pals. Gets an A+ from dedicated movie watchers!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I thought, April 28, 2009

By	Timothy C. Vanselous "thirsty traveler" (trenton, nj, usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Roku HD Player PLUS Premium Cable Pack

I read the other reviews available for this product (GOOD) and decided to make the purchase. Was not dissappointed. While the fast forward and rewind aren't quite like a DVD the product on the whole is fantastic. Set up took less than 10 minutes. Most of that time was spent entering the web key for the wireless modem and waiting for it to sync. All of my movies on my Netflix instant queu were waiting for me. These movies stay on your queue until you remove them but you can start and stop movies and switch titles and come back to movies you were watching previously. Picture quality is good. Worth the 120$

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget Cable!, June 7, 2009

By	A. D'Amato (Englewood, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Roku HD Player PLUS Premium Cable Pack

When I heard about this product I was a bit skeptical. I liked Netflix and the thought of getting online movies streamed to my computer was appealing. But to then be able to see them on my television?! I had to try it, and let me tell you, I haven't regretted it since. Admittedly, the selction is still somewhat limited, but the picture and sound quality is better than average, and the collection of movies and television programs available continue to grow. If you've been thinking about the Roku player, don't hesistate any further. It is well worth it! A word of caution: don't be tempted to purchase the seperate cable package for around $15. I did and found I could have easily bought the same cables for just a few dollars. So forget cable, do the Roku thing!
