Title: What's the cheapest Netflix streaming device?
Post by: Czar on February 17, 2011, 09:05:17 AM

We're doing some financial restructuring at the house and decided to down-grade the cable tv. We're interested in doing Netflix stuff instead but want to stream it to a TV that won't have a game console hooked up to it. I'm interested in finding a cheap netflix streaming device.

That's the cheapest I've found and it has Wifi which would be a plus but it's not required. Anyone have recommendations for other devices or horror stories on this one?

Some blue-ray/DVD players at walmart are sporting a netflix sticker.  My friend went cable TV free and uses Hulu+

I ordered one of those roku boxes. Has a 30 day money back guarantee and it appears to have a lot of add-ons.
