But if you've got a fast connection (like at least cable), you shouldn't have a problem.

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.

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 would have spent another 99 bucks, if I would have known how great this little black is.

With the $4.99/plan, you get 2 hours per month if I remember correctly. Details are on the NetFlix website. No, with the unlimited plan ($8.99/month), you get unlimited viewing.
