Netflix Offers Free Movies directly on TV Sets
Netflix, the largest online movie DVD rental service, has recently introduced a new service that allows its 8.2 million subscribers to instantly watch movies from Netflix’s website, directly on their TV sets.
Using a device developed by startup Roku, Netflix will deliver movies and TV shows straight to the set-top box for no extra charge beyond the regular subscription fee.
The 5-inch-by-5-inch device uses high-speed Internet connection to stream more than 10,000 movies and TV shows from Netflix’s library.
The device does not have a hard drive. Movies play directly from the Internet which requires at least a 1.5Mbps speed connection to be able to view movies and avoid videos from freezing.
The set-top box costs $99.99 and comes with a remote control that allows viewers to rewind and fast-forward streamed videos, read synopses and rate movies. The device has Ethernet and wireless connections as well as several video output formats.
Netflix Roku Box is a simple solution for subscribers who want entertainment delivered directly to their television sets with just few clicks from a remote control.
Netflix will face competition from Amazon, which offers a similar service through TiVo, and Apple’s Apple TV.
