Seagate has something very similar: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148585&cm_re=streaming_tv-_-22-148-585-_-Product This device does doesn't have a built in antenna like roku. You can get the external antenna but for 35 clams more. This really helps, thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MB" <sparkyn...@yahoo.com> To: <vox-tech@lists.lugod.org> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [vox-tech] Netflix > You might look at a roku. > > http://www.roku.com/ > > It runs linux and uses very little power.
