I know this device has been mentioned in the past here, nevertheless I wanted to mention that one of my favorite holiday presents was my Roku device (http://www.roku.com). And after setting it up, I tried a simple Netflix/video stream to check the volume and image quality between the Roku and my Mitsubishi TV.

Just by chance I decided to check out a shortish surrealistic video, The Andalusian Dog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zePsu3lzycM) that I had seen years ago. Well right from the opening scene there is a very interesting straight razor stropping scene, blade sharpness test on the thumbnail, and then a disturbing (& classic) straight edge cutting scene.

Well if confirmed that everything works...

I heartily endorse the Roku -- watch the Andalusian Dog video at your own risk.

Amazon had a one-day sale last week where they were selling the XDS for $79.00. Of course, I had to buy it at that price. I can't wait to catch the Red Sox next season in 1080p!
