The NetFlix Player

Priced at $99, The NetFlix Player allows all subscribers ($9 plan) to essentially “browse around the NetfFlix website on your TV with the player’s remote to pick what you want to watch” — nearly 10,000 titles. Available later this year from Roku, the manufacturer. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Netflix is planning HD streaming and this box will support it. When Netflix gets HD streaming content, they’ll update the box by firmware to support HD resolutions at higher bitrates of 4-6mbps, including 5.1 surround (everything is stereo now.)
