Mine is now of the age where we can probably take him to a cartoon type movie. Haven't tried it yet though.

Took my daughter to see Tangled when she was about 3 1/2. She seemed to enjoy it for the most part.

Just got an e-mail from Roku. Looks like they have an app for the iPhone that will turn it into a remote control as well.

Any idea of that will also allow it to stream from an Ipad to the Roku. That got my interest the other week when PP mentioned that on the aapl tv. Would have been nice to have during the AO last week when it was Serena 24/7 on ESPN2

Just curious, can you not just plug the Ipad directly into the TV? I've been doing this with my wife's macbook so I can watch ESPN3 on the big screen during the AO.

Edit: Never mind, looks like you need a $40 adapter for that...

Just got Apple TV and decided to pull the plug on cable. No more Tennis Channel.

Has anyone tried Tennis.tv? Is it an adequate replacement for Tennis Channel?

The on demand section looks excellent, as long as the quality is decent.
