Netflix now is in the streaming business. A new "content to the TV" box made by Roku will allow subscribers to stream an unlimited number of movies and television shows directly to televisions.
The device costs $99. The video content is free to anyone with a Netflix subscription of $8.99 a month or more. Most of the video content will consist of older material, rather than new releases, though.
