The company has already announced a list of manufacturers that will deliver Roku Ready hardware and I expect we’ll see that list grow.

Roku’s already got a nice box on the market that’s only $49, but this streaming stick allows you to add Internet functionality and content to any TV with no wires or boxes, something a lot of consumers would appreciate. Roku hasn’t yet disclosed the cost for the stick or when it will ship, but they have indicated that they’ll release more details in a few weeks. The Streaming Stick plugs directly into the MHL port on newer TVs and feeds video to the HDTV, accepts remote control inputs and power, and brings its own WiFi support for Internet access. The Roku Streaming Stick will be the easiest way to take a dumb TV and turn it into a smart TV. It’s too early to know how successful the Simple.TV device will be, but from my conversations with the founders of the company, they are hoping to sell a few million devices over the first few years, which is pretty realistic. Some like Boxee do support over-the-air antennas, but doesn’t have a program guide tied into any kind of DVR style services. To date, a lot of boxes on the market allow you to stream content or place-shift it to another device, but none of them give you any DVR style functionality. The device is expected to ship by the end of this year and retail for $149. The premium service will give consumers access to a rich interactive program guide, unlimited remote streaming for up to five users and an easier way to record TV shows automatically.

They offer free apps for the iPad and Roku with more on the way and plan to offer an enhanced service for $4.99 a month. Announced at CES in February, and slated to ship by the end of this year, Simple.TV allows consumers to connect an external USB hard drive for storage, plug-in a TV signal from their basic cable or over-the-air antenna and connect the box to their home network. Simple.TV is a HD Tuner and DVR video server in one simple package. It’s one of the reasons that Vizio’s box is on the top of my list of devices I’m really excited to see in the market. But Vizio’s Co-Star box is very different since none of the other $99 boxes come bundled with the Goolge TV platform, have HDMI pass-through and most don’t have DLNA support.
Over the years, a lot of companies like D-Link, Sony and Netgear have come out with their own $99 boxes in an effort to compete with Roku and Apple TV and so far, don’t have a lot to show for it. Vizio says the idea with the all in one remote is to allow customers to connect cable or satellite set-top boxes through the player’s built-in HDMI ports for a smoother experience for the overlay of live TV.

Included with the box is a bluetooth touchpad universal remote with QWERTY keyboard. In addition the box supports content offerings from Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video, HBO GO, Wall Street Journal, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Slacker Radio, M-GO video-on-demand and other content services not yet announced. On the content side, the box comes bundled with the Google TV platform which Vizio has completely re-skinned, thereby creating a new user interface for the Google TV platform.

The box supports 1080p video quality and also supports 3D streaming and will have an app for OnLive’s gaming service. The box has built-in ethernet, WiFi, two HDMI ports (in and out), DLNA support, one audio IR port and has USB to support the playback of local content.
Vizio’s Co-Star streaming box could challenge Roku, Apple TV and the WD TV Live as the most full-featured $99 streaming box in the market, which just started shipping in the past 24 hours to those who pre-ordered last month. Here what those devices are and why I can’t wait to get hands-on with them.
While I have, use and test consumer streaming services across more than 50 devices, there are a few new devices that have just come out or will be coming out shortly that I am excited about. There are a lot of streaming media devices out in the market right now from tablets and game consoles to stand-alone streaming boxes and connected TVs.
