Still waiting for the Roku 1.5 HD update? Get it now

Still waiting for the high definition streaming-enabling update for your Roku Netflix Player? From the support forums comes the post-Christmas tip that anyone who hasn't been blessed by the rollout gods yet, can force it upon themselves simply by manually checking for an update 3 times within a 30 second period. We cannot take responsibility for any person or persons losing the Mandate of Heaven or being ejected from the Garden of Eden as a result of following these steps, but if all that happens is 720p movie bliss, you can totally blame that on us and the Roku team.

[Thanks, Bob]

Been playing with this on 360. Best deal I've ever seen, honestly.

Is this available for consoles using PlayOn, like the PS3? I'm interested in knowing.

Yep! Did this just this morning after reading the Forum and voila! It works. It looks great! Can't wait for the new channels on the way in "early" 2009. Thank you Roku!
