That's all I use it for, since here in Senegal most of the good
"channels" aren't available to me due to IP address or due to wimpy
bandwidth. But the Roku has a ton of channels on offer as well. Check
into it to see which ones you want. Offhand I don't think the BBC
iplayer is one of them.

Should have checked before sending. BBC IPlayer is one of the channels,
so I spoke too soon.

For what it's worth, the remote is pretty cool. Runs on two AA
batteries, and it has a headphone jack in the side. Insert your
headqphones and the TV goes quiet, good for watching while someone else
sleeps. I'm pretty impressed.
