Roku—Breaking the Linux Not Invited Rule
,----[ Quote ]
| Many of you probably are familiar with the Roku media streaming device. In a
| partnership with Netflix, the Roku is one of several officially supported
| devices for streaming the large collection of Netflix's available movies and
| television shows. What makes the Roku interesting is that although Netflix
| doesn't support streaming its DRM-protected movies to Linux users, the Roku
| itself runs Linux.

Roku's Netflix Player: a hands-on review
,----[ Quote ]
| It's small and silent, sports an array of ports on the back but only one tiny
| white LED on the front, and it can help you spend hours of time in front of
| your TV -- and it runs Linux. It's the Netflix Player from embedded device
| specialist Roku, and we got our hands on it for a review of the service and
| the hardware.

| Whether you are a Netflix addict or not, Roku's friendly cooperation with the
| open source community and the promise of an SDK add up to a good environment
| in which to explore video-on-demand. The Netflix Player is a good product
| now; opening it up to additional services will make it better, and working
| with the development community will make it even better still.
