I have Roku! I'm beside myself with joy. I bought it with my birthday Amazon GC from the in-laws. I've wanted one ever since I got MLB.TV - what it is is a little device (and I do mean little - it's a 3x3x1 inch box. I was expecting something component sized, but this is good because I can take it with me anywhere I go) that streams internet video

If it's a 3X3X1 inch box, I would reckon the Roku has a necessarily limited screen size, as well.

But I'm glad you can watch your beloved Indeens (and, I assume, the Brownies, now that foosball season is upon us) once again.

It doesn't have a screen. It plugs into the big TV, like any other component. It just streams internet video from our WiFi (now I want a better router!) Before, I could only watch on the laptop, which doesn't have very good sound and is hard to watch when I'm cooking.

I don't know if the NFL does streaming video or not, but I'm not enough of a fan to justify paying for it. However, this little thing streams all kinds of internet video - Netflix, FoxNews (news only - none of the "shows"), Amazon video, Glenn Beck's new thing (though I'm pretty much over Beck) - whatever.

For $80, it's a pretty handy little thing.
