We have Netflix and with Roku Box we also have access to other good creative stuff like Film Noir, ANIME, Classics , Food Shows,Documentaries, Smithsonian, National Geographic, PBS ....just so much stuff I can't even catalog it in this post.

Between Netflix and Roku Box we are never at a loss for something to watch no matter what mood we are in.

Most of the popular Series on Network TV are available there...also you have access to "Blockbuster on Demand, VUDU, Hulu +, Amazon Rentals and other "Pay Sites."

So much good stuff if you get the Personal Channel "Nowhereman" with access to International News...(to ditch the CNN/FAUX/Network Crap).

We get access to our Neflix through the ROKU and it's just a click through Netflix to scroll interesting stuff and then hit Instant Play and it goes through our Roku to our TV....Super Fast.

Love that WE ARE IN CONTROL of what WE WANT TO WATCH...and not...the Cables.
