I ordered the Netflix Player by Roku as a late Christmas present for my mom. I’ve had Netflix for over a year, but sometimes we have those days (weekends) where two movies won’t cut it.
The appeal to this device is simplicity because my mom is completely illiterate when it comes to technology.
It took less than five minutes to plug in, connect to my wireless router and enter the activation code on the Netflix website. I had already queued up a bunch of movies I thought my mom would want to watch. She mentioned “The Bone Collector” the other day, so that christened the Netflix Player.
Quality
We have a flat screen tube television. I connected the Netflix Player using the composite video and stereo inputs. We don’t have a LCD high definition TV or surround sound. Our internet connection is 3 Mbps (minimum 1.2 Mbps required).

Interface

After watching a movie or TV show, I can just remove it from the Instant queue without needing to visit the website.

Tobias was in LA for a few days [in December]. We met halfway (Imperial and Wilmington off the Blue Line) so he wouldn’t have to deal with rush hour to pick me up from work.
