Roku expands lineup, more content coming soon
The original $100 player, which is now dubbed the Roku HD, features 802.11b/g and Ethernet connectivity as well as HDMI and component outputs. At only $20 cheaper it's hard to see the appeal of the SD model, but the new Roku HD-XR will bring 802.11n Wi-Fi dual-band wireless compatibility to receive a stronger, better signal in addition to a USB port "for future use" -- presumably to play back video from external sources.
The company is also readying its Roku Channel Store, which will bring an expanded roster of programming options to the little set-top box, including some free content from Revision3 and others.

I emailed this to my father in law. He loves his Roku box.I think everything is moving to internet based programing. We will see... see what I did there

It's great that a device like this is available. But here in New Zealand, streaming full length movies over the internet is a no go. Slow internet speeds and 99.9% of all ISP plans are capped data rates. Very sad.

Been running Netflix off my computer. Luckily I have an S-video output. Pleasantly surprised that the quailty was pretty good on my DSL 1.5 mb line. Might consider getting a Ruko now.
