[TriLUG] Netflix and Roku - quality

[Jim Ray]

Mine works fine and has great picture; however, I am on 2nd round of
bifocals and will leave it to the beholder regarding quality comments
about my eyes.

Besides, I don't even watch the thing. It is for my kids.

Subject: [TriLUG] Netflix and Roku - quality

Greetings all,

Recently, we had a discussion about the Roku player streaming Netflix  
videos.  Can someone comment about the quality of video streaming on  
this device? I tried the PlayOn utility for an XP machine and the  
quality of streaming Netflix videos was horrible (blocky, jerky, sound  
distorted).  I have Time Warner cable with fast download/upload  
speeds, so I don't think the broadband link is an issue.

I have a TV room with a JVC High-Def (1900x1200) projector I would  
like to use with the Roku player.


Thanks for any advice,

-Ron
