ON UP TO 6 TVs
With one Netflix unlimited streaming membership, you can activate up to 
6 Roku players. So you can get your Netflix fix wherever you have a 
TV—from the spare bedroom to the workout room to that favorite vacation 
spot.

No clue whether it allows streaming to multiple devices simultaneously, 
or if only one of the 6 can be used at a time and they're limiting it to 
6 locations, or what.

Note, also, the price:  http://www.roku.com/roku-products .  Seems 
reasonable to me.  And with a Roku device, you even get Angry Birds ( 
http://www.roku.com/roku-channel-store ) among other stuff.  You won't 
get that with MythTV (or, at least, if you record the Roku output with 
MythTV, you won't want to play Angry Birds).
