ParticipantWhile an Xbox isn’t the absolute best home entertainment system, if you are on xbox live then you should have access to ESPN3, and Netflix. I assume they’ll add more. We have the Xbox Live family pass for $99 you get 4 accounts. I am not on there very often but I do get on and watch some netflix. Right now my ESPN3 isn’t working because there is a problem with TimeWarner/Brighthouse Networks that Xbox can’t validate our ESPN3 accounts.
I ended up getting a Roku for my kid’s room. While I’d prefer one that lets me browse my home stuff as well, so I’ll keep watching what’s out there before I decide on my own system. PS3 gets you most of what Xbox live does (not sure about espn3) and adds Blue Ray. Now I will say the Roku Netflix browser is the best I’ve seen. I don’t care for the netflix add-ons to the DVD players.

GuestAmazon Prime now provides free video streaming.
Another reason not to subscribe to Cable/Satellite.
Edit: This is a new service. Looks like the maximum resolution is 480p. inferior to Netflix.

ParticipantDo you guys have any opinion on VOIP boxes? One of my projects for the new year is to dump phone and cable service and get a digital converter box and put up an aerial and get all my TV either through the air or through the internets.
So as part of that effort, I was wondering if anyone here has an opinion on the various VOIP boxes offered by Vonage, Ooma, etc. I would prefer to get one that will allow me to transfer my wireline telephone phone number since I’ve had it for ~20 years.
