Netflix to Stream Movies Straight to TV Sets [Film Gecko]

Translate Into:

image Wow.  This is incredble. Netflix and LG Electronics have announced that they are developing a set-top box for consumers, enabling them to stream movies and other programming from the internet straight to HDTVs.  You won’t need to use your computer!!!

"Internet to the TV is a huge opportunity," said Netflix Founder, Chairman and CEO Reed Hastings. "Netflix explored also offering its own Netflix-branded set-top boxes but we concluded that familiar consumer electronics devices from industry leaders like LG Electronics are a better consumer solution for getting the Internet to the TV."

I think it’s a great partnership and a good idea.  It’s like pay-per-view, from what I understand, but with all the available movies from Netflix.  Sounds perfect for a movie-lover like me.
