if you only buy the hole seasons of shows or, now itunes has a rental option, is it really cheaper than watching commercials and paying for 100 channels of crap you will never watch?
stay tuned I will inform you of the conclusion

Critics say the Roku box is better than Apple TV. Roku XDS has 1080p res., more inputs, etc.; no add'l rental fees outside of Netflix or Amazon's monthly fees, etc. I'm an Apple fan, but I can't see buying a box in order to rent TV and film content on a per item basis. Some user reviews:
Roku N1100 HD player User Reviews (Netflix) - Digital Media Receivers - CNET Reviews
Your suggestion of streaming from online sources is good.
