Roku Netflix Player versus Apple TV

Jun 2 2008, 2:00pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

AppleInsider compares the new Roku Netflix movie streaming device to the Apple TV.

Quote: "Like Apple TV, the partnership between Netflix and Roku has given way to a compact box for streaming select movies and TV programs directly to your television. The $100 box serves up unlimited content from Netflix's "Watch Instantly" section as part of the standard subscription price of its DVD by mail service. The 10,000 Watch Instantly "movies and TV episodes" include many documentaries and older films, but provide a wide range of options that were previously only viewable from a Windows PC, due to the use of Windows Media DRM that is incompatible with Macs."
