Netflix streaming question.
Mar 18, 2013, 11:08 AM
|
|
Gonna get netflix after I suspend direcTV until football season rolls around again (thanks soccernut).
My main TV is wifi capable, but my other TV is an old plasma that is not.
What is the best/cheapest device I can buy that will allow me to stream netflix to the second TV through wifi?

cheapest will prob be some clearance priced DVD

player. Best price/value equation would probably be a roku box.
If you have Wii, forget it, picture sucks.

He probably only needs a Roku LT (720p and doesn't

have the games/motion controller) for his purpose. Roku LT is $50 MSRP, could probably get it for $40 or less.

Great streamer, and also allows Amazon streaming and other services.
I tried to stream through a Wii, and had big problems. That little Roku box runs Netflix pretty seamlessly.

Yes, I have a Samsung BluRay and its interface sucks.

The Sonys are great, though. You can even search Netflix by different categories, whereas the Samsung makes you load up a selection on your streaming queue from a PC f1rst. That blows.
