I ordered the Roku box for Netflix a few weeks ago. It's a great value. Picture quality is usually comparable if not better than DVD's and they're talking about a hi-def upgrade pretty quick.
Netflix is the way to go. Not a lot of the newest blockbusters are available for streaming, but you can still order the dvd's. The box is great for catching up on lesser known new flicks, older movies, foreign films, documentaries and tv shows.
The tv box for netflix is only $99.00 and there's nothing to pay again ever. All the movies you care to watch are included in the low monthly netflix fee.
I don’t suppose us poor rural saps on dial-up can use it?
