+1 on the Roku. Even cheaper would be a new Blu-Ray or DVD player, as most of them come Wifi capable and usually with Pandora, Netflix, hulu and all sorts of other services available for free. Of course, the subscription is necessary to use them, but for < $75 plus the capability to play Blu-Ray & DVDs, how can you beat it?
