Netflix on Roku Update

Roku has officially started rolling out its new Netflix update for its Roku family of players. What's cool about this update is that it finally allows you to browse, search, and add streamable Netxlix movies to your Instant Queue directly from your Roku box. (Prior to the update, you had to log on to your Netflix account via your desktop/laptop and add movies that way, which was a bit of a hassle — especially if you don't have your computer in front of your TV.)

Now with the update, you can just browse movies and add them straight from the Roku box. This gives the Roku boxes (and the Xbox 360) the upper hand in Netflix streaming, since they're the only devices that allow you to do this.

The update is expected to roll out to all Roku players this week and next week. Here's a quick video I shot of the dashboard. (Sorry for the film grain, shot this using the Motorola Droid.)
