I am wondering, since I am about fed up with our cable. My wife won't let me upgrade from basic cable, no TV Box. What I am thinking of doing is get Netflix and Hulu Plus, ($8 apiece) best of both worlds. Will cut our cable upgrade price in half. And no 24-month agreement.

Now, will this work with it? http://www.engadget....on-impressions/

I bought it maybe a few months ago. Rather a toy rather than for Netflix/Hulu use. Should this be able to stand up to the plate?

I understand that any Android device can use Netflix, but I've read around. I hear misconceptions of it not being in full 1080.

Wireless will not be a problem, since the router is in the same room. We have a 7Mbps cable connection, so our bandwidth should be OK.

Will this all work like butter?

I'm not too familiar this these things, but there is one called Uhost which might be better. It has 1GB of RAM, so it might be able to handle HD video better:

What about the MK802 II? It comes with 1GB. Would I be safer, perhaps, getting a compatible BlueRay player or something? I don't want to pay a heck of a lot on this.

I actually might reconsider getting the Roku 2 XS. While, yes, it is $100 for the highest model, I think I'll get a hel lot more off of it.
