Heard of ROKU? Roku uses your WIFI internet to stream NETFLIX, HULU, AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO, and about 600+ other internet channels DIRECTLY to your television! Take it on vacation to your hotel also!

You pay a ONE TIME FEE for the Roku box ($59.99, $79.99, or $99.99) and your Netflix subscription of course (just log in and start streaming).
