Penthode,

If you are a broadcast engineer and a Roku is good enough for your vintage TV watching, I am sure that it is good enough for me. I am just tired of the side bars and lost screen space when streaming video to my Predicta. I have never used a Roku and am not sure how they work, but will any of them work? I took a look and the Roku I does not seem available. Is there much fussing about with the Roku or once I set it up will it just convert whatever content I stream?

I did go look on epay for a hardware rescaler and there are a lot of choices. Any recommendations for a lower end unit? I don't need broadcast quality, just to get rid of the dang side bars.

Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: Did some looking at Roku and it seems that they are used with a TV. I am just using a laptop to stream content to my TV. So the Roku will not work for me?
