I'm going to get my parents one of those Netflix/Amazon Prime/Possibly Youtube streaming boxes for Christmas, as they're pretty much completely fed up with commercials and the paltry selecton on regular TV.
I saw Detonator had this thing called the
Chromecast, which is great, but it needs you to use a computer from which you stream Netflix or Youtube or whatever. That's a possibility, but my parents use their laptops while the TV's on, so having something that requires the use of one computer isn't ideal.
I'm leaning strongly toward a streaming media player of some kind, but it's hard to tell what's good and what isn't.
Amazon lists the
Roku 3 fairly high, but that's far from a reliable sign of quality. The
Sling Media Box seems like a possibility as well.
Anyone have any experience with streaming media players?
