I'm i going to see ANY video Quality difference AT ALL between Neflix streaming video over the roku through HDMI to my TV or Netflix streaming video over pc through VGA cable?

I'm just trying to figure out if theres going to be any difference at all....i don't have a reciever so bit streaming over HDMI doesn't really matter to me...would they both use the same software to view the movies...is there any difference at all?

Ok looks like if i'm going to take netflix streaming seriously i'm going to need to get the Roku Box...this thing runs my cpu at about 80-90% while running without it...i need a faster computer

It will make your pc work thats for sure. If you have a 360 you will be able to stream netflix from XBL in a month or 2. Thats just another way to go.

You can download a program to youre pc called playon. I believe the address is mediamall.com.A free 21 day trial. Then you can steam video from netflix ,espn,youtube and hulu. Right to your xbox or playstation 3.
