Netflix Player Streams Apple TV Style
Monday, May 19th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Netflix and Roku announced the immediate availability of the Netflix Player by Roku on Tuesday. The set-top player lets Netflix subscribers stream TV shows and movies from the Netflix library to their own television without requiring a computer.

The Netflix Player includes HDMI, component video, S-Video and composite video outputs along with digital and analog audio outputs, and connects to your network via Ethernet or 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.
The compact size and reported ease of use make the Netflix Player a potential competitor for Apple TV buyers, and with a US$99.99 price point and no charges for shows it’s more affordable, too. That lower price does, however, come with some limitations: The Netflix Player can’t stream content from your own music or video library, does not stream content from YouTube, and can’t display online photo galleries.
While the Netflix Player ins’t an "Apple TV killer," it is a compelling option for Netflix subscribers looking for a lower cost alternative.
