Free Product Giveaway: Roku Netflix Set Top Box
The nice folks over at Roku sent me a set top box a few weeks ago and while I really would like to keep it for myself, I feel it would only be fair to give it away to a reader of my blog. These boxes are currently sold out and back ordered for weeks, so this is your shot to get one now.
UPDATE: Drawing is now closed. Robert Schumann was selected as the winner using a random number picker website.
To qualify to win the unit, all you have to do is leave one comment on this post with a working e-mail address. I will pick one person a week from today using a random number picker website and ship it out to the winner at no cost. (Sorry, U.S. residents only) The unit comes with all of the original materials, box, remote and cables.
Please note that the Roku box does not come with any Netflix service. So you either need to be a Netflix customer, or need to be willing to setup a Netflix account.
Also, Anthony Wood, the Founder and CEO of Roku will be one of our keynote speakers at the Streaming Media West show in September in San Jose. Registration is open and all keynotes are free. Register now for your pass to see Anthony demo and talk about the Roku in person.
Roku and Netflix are smart to team up. there needs to be some counter balance to the power that Apple is collecting. Wishing these guys luck!

Seems like a promising product. The SoundBridge is a very handy device. Hope this doesn't fizzle out like the SanDisk TakeTV.

This technology has the potential to cut into the first-run movie market. As it stands many people are moving towards home theatres. If Roku and Netflix and can figure out how to prevent pirating, I can see a day when films will open not only in traditional theatres, but will be available on-demand at home as well. Since many Netflix users like myself are tired of ill-mannered people at movie theaters, the possibility of seeing new movies instead of waiting for DVD or cable On-Demand ... well, it makes one salivate!

Like the blog! And I love netflix, short of their recent profiles decision. That Roku box sounds like a great idea. Write on!

Maybe this will make up for the loss of profiles.
