My gift from my son's family came in 3 parts and was a techy one. The first was an HDMI cable, the second a certificate for one full year of unlimited Netflix streaming, and the third this streaming player so I don't have to have a computer next to my TV. This is something I thought I would like but would never have done it for myself. Now I can catch some of the TV series that I missed because I have no way of recording now that Comcast has us all hooked up to digital boxes. I was able to get this all hooked up and working by myself. I think that makes me a geek.......
