We know that a lot of you are Netflix fans and rightly so. They’ve been at the forefront of remoulding the way we rent DVD’s and movies for almost 10 years now and their back catalogue is getting pretty decent when it comes to film and TV choice.
They haven’t rested on their laurels and chilled out, no no no, instead they’ve brought us the Roku Netflix Player which does away with the need for a PC altogether and just hooks straight into your Television set (it has a range of connectors including HD).

Good day. I’m looking at a streaming device for TV and have seen the Apple TV unit. Apple TV has the ability to allow the viewer to buy new videos from itunes, and I don’t believe that function or option exits on the other units.
Which unit is better? Roku, Apple TV or what?
