Forgive my ignorance - never used Netflix streaming (yet). Is this trend going to be ray of hope for Silverlight? Or is Silverlight just a means to playback the video on the web? What format/codec is Netflix using here?

@spaceman37: Netflix appears to be focused on what are widely thought to be industry standards. If Silverlight ever gains industry-wide acceptance, Netflix might consider it, but if Microsoft's attempts at capturing any part of the web community is any indication, I would be surprised to see it.

@spaceman37: Netflix is using AVC as codec. I believe that was posted a few days ago.

I love my Roku. For $99 it ranks as one of the biggest no-brainers in gadget purchasing. It's tiny, sets up in a few seconds, and it's wireless so I can bring it virtually anywhere with a TV and wi-fi to watch my Netflix queue. It's got component output and HDMI output, so it's pretty well stocked for such a tiny box.

I don't do the HD hing, but when/if I do, it's cool to know they've got me covered.
