A friend kept talking about NetFlix and their streams - and I tried it out on the netbook. Very good video, the quality surprised me. So... I started looking into ways of getting NetFlix to my 19 inch lcd in the mancave. There's Roku (http://www.amazon.com/Roku-N1100-HD-Player/dp/B001PIBE8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275141627&sr=8-1) and then various ways of hooking your laptop/desktop to the tv ~ OR ~~ many Blueray players now have networking and the like built in, and ways to tap into various online video services.
SWEET!
I nailed a Sony Blueray player for ~ $150 and activated the services. From there, you load things into your Watch Instantly Queue, they show up in your Netflix deal on the Blueray player, and then you have MUCH stuff to watch. The Netflix does a free trial, but when that ends for me I will have a way to watch much commercial free stuff for only $8.99 a month. Liking it, so far.
