IlovemyAKA please update on that Roku player! I'm very interested in buying one myself too. Where did you order yours from?

I love it! I'm in TX, too. I just moved to Houston recently. My apartment complex only offers TVMax which is garbage, & I have too many trees for a satellite signal. The Roku box is awesome because I have things to watch between dvds. Unfortunately, only about 10% of Netflix's library is available for instant streaming which includes a lot of television shows & older movies. They're trying to increase the instant viewing (what you can watch with the box) but new releases have a lot of copyright issues. You get the box from Roku.com. It's a one time price of $99 plus tax. I'd advise you to check what's available for instant viewing to see if it's stuff you like. My internet is 6mbs for $35 a month w/ at&t so it's all a good deal for me. Let me know if you have more questions...
ETA: shows/movies stream directly to the box via your internet connection (wired or wireless). You don't have to download or store anything & your computer can be off or is available for use at the same time.
