What device to boy for netflix?

My mother is looking to buy an HDTV and something to use for netflix (she is tired of paying $70 for cable). I have recommended a bluray player because she has many dvds that would look nice on the new tv upscaled. But others have recommended either the Roku box or Apple Tv. She doesn't play video games, so an xbox, wii, ps3 is out. And she will be running a cable from the modem directly to the device (her connection is only 1.0, so wireless would be questionable).

Taking into account that she is over 65 and not all that tech savvy, which would you guys or girls recommend? We use a Wii for netflix and you can search for movies right on it. Not sure if Roku, bluray player, or apple tv allow you to do that. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, just noticed my typo. What device to buy for netflix?

Well if the TV is yet to be purchased, you could just buy a TV with netflix capability and an ethernet port and not need another device at all. It depends on the budget of course.

Pretty much any device has Netflix these days. If you have a 360, PS3 or Wii, you have Netflix. As stated before, most newer TVs and Bluray players have it as well.

A quick note on the Blu-ray players with Netflix. Don't do it. At least don't do Samsungs BD players. I would say a good 75% of the time the audio is completely screwed up in some way when I try to play off the player. It's either out of sync, skipping, not there at all or there's a really irritating grinding noise the entire time.

Telus Optik wireless N 15 meg download for those that dare say it's my internet. All my other devices play it perfectly.

I bought my non-tech-savvy parents a refurbished Insignia blu-ray player because the Netflix interface was extremely simple and because they can use either dvds or blu-rays without confusion. They're always telling me about how much they like it.
