I'd say the LT is absolutely the way to go. I have an XS, and frankly, the gaming aspect of the XS is weak and is not worth the extra money. So, I think the LT will make the kids happy. I have...

If you have an older CRT TV that you'll be connecting this to...will the Roku support that? I have a WDTV Live, and it only has HDMI and component (not composite) outputs.

I suppose, but I thought AV was understood to be just standard hookups like an older television would require. Is there something else I should have called it to make it less confusing?

A/V just stands for audio/video. Any connection from a device to your TV is technically audio/video.

Christmas is going to be a bit light this year, but we want to get the kids a Roku (or similar). Their DVD player is dead and they've become Netflix addicts, so I figure a streaming box is the best...

Thanks for the info. I checked and the LT does use AV, so we're good on that. Even though it's in their room, I try to do most of the navigating, so parental controls aren't a huge concern...yet....

My kids only want to watch age-appropriate stuff, thank goodness. But, I always think there's the possibility that they'll accidentally select Walking Dead or something in my queue! It hasn't...

Just checked my Roku box, the "A/V" connection is the Red/White/Yellow. The Roku is a good choice as you an select what channels to add and lock them out from others.

tivaclare, if your kids already have a Wii then use it for streaming Netflix and save $50. But if you don't then the Roku is the way to go.
