The issue is that most people don't want a cable running from their laptop to their TV. Until it all "just works" - like iTunes / iPod / AirTunes does - you won't see mass adoption. No, the Netflix service - and by extension the Roku - does not support HD at this time. As I mentioned, “a trip to Best Buy” will solve the technical problem.

I just plug my laptop into my TV, which has an s-video input on the front of it and stream my Netflix movies. Does the box do something that my laptop doesn't? Just curious. I guess if you don't have a laptop, $100 for a box is a pretty good deal. Now my laptop is not HD, because it's a year old, but my partner's laptop has true HD on his, so he could conceivably stream HD, once it's available. I'm assuming that ROKU does HD? Look forward to seeing one in action! Don’t all laptops have an s-video output? I just plug my laptop into my TV, which has an s-video input on the front of it and stream my Netflix movies.
