Netflix Digs Another Trench for Movie Streaming With New LG Player

Movie fans will soon have yet another way to get online content through their televisions. Netflix has signed a deal to offer video streaming through a new LG Blu-ray DVD player. The device marks Netflix’ third online-to-TV partnership and will be the industry’s first Blu-ray system to offer instant streaming. The set-top box — named the “LG BD300 Network Blu-ray disc player” — is set to go on sale this fall for less than $500, the company said. Unlimited streaming will be offered at no additional cost to anyone with a regular Netflix membership.
