The roku box wont slow your computer down at all. it doesn’t even connect to your computer. you just connect it to your tv, the power source and your ethernet cable (if you don’t use the wireless connection).
what you might get a hit on is your internet connection, since you will be streaming the video. But if you’ve got a fast connection (like at least cable), you shouldn’t have a problem.
Yes, you could, but you’re going to need a TV out card or video card that supports TV out, effectively treating your TV like an additional monitor.
Likewise, if you have an Xbox 360 or something along those lines, you can do so though that, as well.
The Roku works very well though; I saw one when visiting my family and watched a few movies through it; I personally don’t need it because of my 360, but I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to fill that niche.
Quick question for those who have used this. I’m considering getting one but the thing is the television I use for my movie viewing is right next to my computer. Could I use the computer and stream a movie to my TV without a major performance hit? I’ve got a Win xp computer running a 2.40 ghz cpu with about a gig of onboard memory. Please help me out. Thanks.
I am probably the most reluctant to jump on any new technical bandwagons-but I ordered this gem and not only was I amazed(read AMAZED) at the Roku player, but astounded by hookup time-I watched my first movie in less than 15 minutes from box to truly happy. I would have spent another 99 bucks, if I would have known how great this little black is.
This is the future. Make no mistake
Does it have subtitles?
Does this work outside the US?
select titles are HD
this thing is the greatest, and it has upgraded to HD quality (since last june when the video was posted on youtube). roku box has become just surpassed my DVR in terms of bringing me stuff i wanna watch exactly when i wanna see it.
No, with the unlimited plan ($8.99/month), you get unlimited viewing. With the $4.99/plan, you get 2 hours per month if I remember correctly. Details are on the NetFlix website.
do I have to pay for the movies?
MetaverseMultiMedia :
WRONG. that is NOT what she said. Stop trying to manipulate the conversation to cover her ignorance with your own.
Lets see, Casablanca HD sells as many units as Pirates of the Caribbean? Sure….As I said..movies have more visual vibrance and are in higher demand newer d. She knows the difference between 16:9 and 3:4. You’re just a jerk.
MetaverseMultiMedia : you seemingly know absolutely nothing about the movie market in general. keep your astoundingly stupid comments to yourself.
Ur an idiot, she was saying that older movies tend to have less demand for reissuing in HD, especially a non visual movie like boondock saints. She knows more about tek than u do.
never, online only. U know how it goes, “the man” hates this sort of value and functionality for this price.
i have that its so cool
No computer needed just a internet connection
is this compatible with mac?
bye bye apple tv ahhhh
In which store can I buy a Netflix Roku Player? When is it available in stores?

her comment was slight. I wouldn’t say it suggests that she doesn’t understand that movies can be rendered from film in any quality. What is true however is that our film cameras today are better than those of the 70’s so the movies today are nicer, even if the old ones are rendered in HD.
Sad that this Veronica Belmont doesn’t seem to understand that even older movies can have HD transfers done because the resolution of film is so high. Why is she on a tech show again?
