Postage to pay with eBuyer though (at least £4.18) - free here.
It's 1080p for starters, the LT/NowTV is 720 only
You can't get Netflix on the now TV box so it's not really a roku LT at all.
What are you talking about - you CAN get Netflix on the NowTV box. I think you've missed something somewhere.
I agree I didn't think it would run Netflix even through plex I haven't seen it done yet. if you have a link please share it I am looking for an excuse to buy one
How do you do that then?
The last time I checked the Netflix/plex channel wasn't supported and had been dropped by the dev team due to Netflix changing the platform. As far as I'm aware you can't run Netflix via Plex anymore.
Good price drop - probably due to the Chromecast being launched on Wednesday.
Since my ps3 packed up I've been using an iomega device which just can't handle 5.1 sound in mp4's.
If you look to the right you'll see the it is the OP price from Amazon.
could you recommend a good one, please?
Great thanks for your wonderful input to this conversation
as usual - check "More Buying Choices" for this price."Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 weeks."

Personally, I'd go for something like this

Install XBMC APK from here
xbmc.org/dow…ad/
Downside is warranty when ordering from China as shipping back costs about £30
Thank you - yeah that's my worry with ordering from overseas
Just search RK3188 on Amazon and you can find some sellers offering similar but for £10-£20 extra.

Same as the first box I linked but £55
then when you have XBMC installed you can set it up with this xbmchub.com/blo…mc/
to stream from well-known streaming sites.
Netflix runs nicely too but the ANdroid app isn't very nice to navigate on TV. I usually use my phone to add to my list then it's on the very front page.
Does XBMC support streaming sites now? There weren't any working plug-ins the last time I looked i.e. ones for Netflix, NowTV, iPlayer, 4oD and Demand 5.
Yes it will you just need plex media server running on your laptop
