I think I'm going to need Amazon VOD along with Netflix, Pandora, etc.
I'm probably going to get the Roku TOTL unit, but I'm still on the fence.
The main goal is to get around my local cable provider. We bought an HD TV about a year ago, nothing special or huge, but the digital (not even HD) channels are super.
The cable provider is going to force all of its customers to use a proprietary digital converter box and I hate those things. The picture is lousy and they rate a big fat zero on the user-friendliness scale.
We watch very little TV. We can watch football games and local news in HD using an antenna, but we need to be able to stream the few shows we do watch now.
Netflix can't along can't to that but Amazon and Netflix can.
BTW, I watched the first season of Californication on my desktop PC and I love that show.
