Netflix Set-Top-Box Debuts

Netflix, the popular DVD movie rental by mail in the US has just released their set-top-box to $8.95 (or more) subscribers for $100.

The device allows user to stream unlimited movie contents to their TV set over wire or wireless home network. Previously streaming movie was only possible via the desktop Internet Browser. 

While the option is far more attractive than the competitive offerings from Apple TV, Vudu, Xbox Live Marketplace, and Amazon Unbox, which are either pay-per-view, limited viewing time, etc..The NetFlix box still has some limitations:

• Only less than 10% of 100,000 plus titles can be streamed
• No HD quality

The first hardware device is made by Roku, but other manufacturers such LG will be included with perhaps additional capabilities later this year.
