At $79.99, the NeoTV Streaming Player is aiming to compete directly with offerings from Roku.

So what does the NeoTV offer that makes Netgear so confident in their new product?
For starters, you're able to use an Apple or Android smartphone to control the device and easily scroll up anything you want to watch. It offers Vudu, Netflix, and the usual assortment of other streaming sources.
Netgear offers two different ways to connect. You can hook up using tried and true Ethernet or with a wireless connection that the company says can transfer speeds up to 300Mbps.
You can preorder the NeoTV NT200 on Amazon now.
