Gizmodo’s got a good write up of it and I am seriously wanting to buy one of these $100 toys. Satellite TV used to cost me $120 a month and when I went through a recent unemployment stint I canceled it. But I love watching older films and older TV shows. This would pipe non-HD content straight to my TV via wifi or Cat5. And it’s only a $100? And there’s no hard drive or fan to make noise to wear out?
I am not kidding you here. I am having a really hard time convincing myself to not buy one of these. Anyone have a good counter argument? I don’t do HD so that won’t help. Bueler? Bueler?

Well, it’s streaming only, so it can get herky-jerky. And SD sucks ass through a straw.
Well I’ve been watching the streaming Netflix content and it can get a little so-so at times, but it usually seems to occur at around the same time I’m doing too much on the computer in question. When I started just streaming on one computer and playing around on the other one that problem seemed to go away.
Don’t get me wrong about the HD thing. I’d love to have HD it’s just that since I don’t even pay for normal cable tv I have a really hard time justifying paying for HDTV. The cost to benefit ratio is just way to stilted for me.
