Roku was the most famous $99 web video stream box, but the arrival of the Netgear ITV200 might change that a little, although they don't address the same market, for now. The ITV2000 lets you connect to free web services like YouTube or other channels ("hundreds" says Netgear) and stream content to your PC via HDMI. You can also plug in a USB drive with media files and play them on your TV - most popular formats are supported.
There's one feature that I would like to see implemented in the future: filtering by video quality/resolution. Watching a 320x240 YouTube video on a big display is just too painful.
