Absolutely!

As long as you have a good internet connection with at least 3Mb download speed, you shouldn't see a problem.

One of the best things since sliced bread. 17000 + movies on instant and who knows how many to rent. Roku is the way to go. They have 3 different models out now, I have the original mottle and it will play HD and it is wireless. If your internet speed is 3mb or more you will be fine. The faster your Internet the better your picture quality will be. If you have the internet speed and like to watch movies you will love it.

I have netflix and I bought me one of them fancy Samsung Blu Ray players that supports the NetFlix instant movies. It has a wireless connection to my network and downloads the movie real sweet like. My only problem was with an old Steve McQueen movie. All the rest played A+.

Thanks smellers, that's excatly what I needed to know... gonna order me one today.

I just called my IP and they said that all they provide is 1.5 Mb.... is that too slow? Will the 1.5 Mb download speed work without pausing to load in the middle of a movie?

[Tom Keels]

You'll only get Standard Def quality at that speed.

[Juan]

Just my luck....I was about to order the HD set, but if I'll only get SD at 1.5, there's no need. Thanks

I thought these things downloaded the movie before they started playing... thought I could still get HD but it would take a little longer before the movie started playing because of the slower download speed. Maybe I don't want one after all.

[Tom Keels]

Nope, they are basically a network appliance. No hard drive. They have some flash memory and cache some of the movie but you are really just streaming it off the net. If you have a laptop or computer you can hook up to your HD TV you can test the picture quality that way. It may be better than you think.

[Juan]

Thanks again... I'll try the laptop first.

I have 3.0, and have used Hulu some. Even with 3mb speeds, you will occasionally get a freeze. There are many routers between you and Hulu, so there can be a hiccup now and then....I am sure Netfilx would have the same issues here and there.

I am not sure if the appliance would buffer these out or not...I only have used it with a PC.

Also not too crazy about the ads....but even the DVD's nowadays got those.

But hey, it FREE!

You are aware Law Enforcement is setting up dummie P2P sites to catch file sharers, aren't you?

I guess you are OK if you do not let your machine share....
