The Roku Netflix player is a set-top box that streams Netflix Watch Instantly content over the internet to the TV in your living room (or any other room, for that matter). If the thousands of videos on Netflix won't satisfy you, though, be aware that this is proceeding to the next level. Amazon has signed a deal to offer its 40,000 video-on-demand titles via the Roku player. Unlike Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand is not subscription-based. Rather, you pay per video. Between the two, you shouldn't have any trouble finding something to watch. And seeing how Amazon and Netflix supposedly have the happiest customers in all the internet, your satisfaction ought to be pretty high with this thing, right?
