Bits, a New York Times Technology Blog explains Why the Roku Netflix Player is the First Shot of the Revolution.
If for just $100 you can have a box that streams whatever you want from the Internet to the TV and works well, when is everyone going to start just streaming the things we want (as opposed to what's broadcast) to our TVs.
It uses the computer to solve the crappy searching interfaces on TVs but doesn't use the computer as a server. Certainly I prefer searching on the Netflix website than using TiVo's interface but TiVo's is pretty good. If I remember right, people preferred being able to rent directly from the Apple TV than having to go through iTunes on the computer.
