Control Roku player over telnet

My young boys have broken several remotes for my Roku player. I am tired of buying new ones. There is a way to control the Roku player over the network, though. Use telnet on port 8080, for example:

[root@mythtv3 ~]# telnet 192.168.1.8 8080
Trying 192.168.1.8...
Connected to 192.168.1.8.
Escape character is '^]'.

Bring Netflix streaming to Linux!

Considering there are a host of devices (PS3, Roxee, TiVo, LG Blu-Ray players) that run Linux internally and support Netflix Streaming, it should be an easy technical transition to bring this to Linux.  Sign the petition to bring Netflix streaming to Linux. I am promoting it so I can use Netflix Streaming on my MythTV server and enhance the MythTV experience with Netflix streaming.
