Netflix has launched a new set-top TV box that may usher in a new generation for the company’s movie distribution model — online streaming downloads directly to a consumer’s television. To get the job done, Netflix has teamed with Roku to build the new box, called “The Netflix Player by Roku.” The player is about the size of a paperback novel, comes with a remote control, and costs $99.99. To get started, Netflix customers connect the player to their TV and to the Internet via WiFi or Ethernet, then connect to their existing Netflix account and their on-demand video queues.
