Does anyone know if you can get Netflix streaming video on the Thunderbolt?  And once Skype app works, can one skype with PC via the Thunderbolt?

You can stream Netflix with a Roku and Slingbox.

true, but that will only run you $300 to get it all set up and ready to go.

Actually, the Slingbox SOLO is not that expensive and it's really great having access to your cable tv stations anywhere with your laptop or smartphone. The SOLO is designed for one input device, but I have my cable box and Roku (Netflix) both connected.

yeah...it's a sweet setup if you can swing it...but isn't it $60 for the roku, $150 or so for the slingbox, and $30 for the slingbox app?

if you already had a wii or blu ray with the netflix app, then you could probably at least skip the roku.

on the wii, it's just like from a pc. i think you can stream movies for $8.99/month. it's just a way to get it to your tv through a wii app. otherwise you have to have a roku or blu ray player that can do it (or have an internet ready tv). then, of course, you have to have a router to send the signal from your modem. i actually don't have the subscription...i just noticed a few months back that an update to the wii added a netflix app.

Thanks AZSALUKI  for the Info I've got the Wii  25th Anniversary Consol Game Set the color is really cool. an i got Last week  the 25th Anniversary Super Mario Brothers All Stars to Go with the Consol i got.

An some of those games can give ya a Definate Workout. :smileyvery-happy: Tried the yellow Letters Would'nt Work Switch to Orange. :smileyvery-happy: But thanks Again for the Info.
