Re: Netflix Roku Box. Roku Box is a revolutionary consumer product. netflix.com Interesting that even after Netflix hired the Roku guy (and former owner of Replay) prnewswire.com that the Roku Box is the "Roku Box" and not the "Netflix Box". Sounds like to me that Netflix doesn't want to enter the hardware business (or hardware licensing business). I wonder how long before we see Roku technology goes inside a Tivo box? Is this Netflix technology or Roku technology? I wonder if Tivo would purchase Roku? More from Netflix: >>>We are working to get TV manufacturers, Blu-ray player manufacturers, and game console manufacturers to make their devices ready for instant streaming from Netflix. The first of these multi-function Netflix ready devices are likely to be available in late 2008.<<< Url P.S. I won't be purchasing a Roku Box, I have a 32" Vizio HDTV hooked up to my computer. P.P.S. I also still have my Series 1 Tivo (hacked with TivoWeb)
