Anyone have this?  I signed up for GBTV and I really want to watch it on TV instead of my computer (you can't watch it on your iPad and you can play ANGRY BIRDS on it too). I looked at their website and it looks really cool. I also already have a Netflix account, we currently have to hook up my daughters Playstation 3 to watch Netflix. 

Here is the link: LINK

We have one and like it ok.  Our problem is the sometimes quirky ISP.  If you have a reliable connection you'll be very happy.  It doesn't have the full Netflix library available, but enough to satisfy anyone.

We bought one today. I'll update later and let you know if it's worth it.

Ok, we have it up and running. We bought the one that was $99 (you can play games on that one). So far it's super cool. Played a round of angry birds and set up GBTV and our Netflix account and we are watching Best In Show on it right now.
