You need a good connection - minimum 1mbps (sustained) for 480i and around 2 mbps for 720p. Less than this and the system will do some bandwidth negotiation, and take away some quality. You see the quality level you're at with a series of four dots.
Seeing how Netflix instant view content is absolutely free with any Netflix account over the basic one it's a no-brainer.
There are rumors Hulu will get added as a channel - perhaps a premium one - and that'll be a killer. Currently I watch Hulu via a laptop I have connected to the RGB port of the TV. It's a hassle having to deal with the Flash player manually. Having it on the Roku would be great.
