But I actually really loved watching the SD content on these services using the Wii to stream to a CRT in genuine 480i. I’m not sure if there’s another way to stream this stuff natively in 480i on a CRT. (Maybe the PS3 and Xbox 360 support this?) I found this out when I went to download Hulu on Wii to watch an old show and discovered the app was no longer available. So I googled and found the article above. Pour one out one more time for the console that took SD gaming as far as it could go (and then some). I hope I can figure out some other way to stream SD shows to a period accurate screen in the proper resolution. ---

Is that only 480i composite? 1st gen Roku models should still work and have 480p Component output, although they won’t have the newer interfaces of recent models and may be a little buggy. I still have mine at home somewhere. You can get them pretty cheap on ebay. The early 1st Gen Roku HD-XR has the full outputs for composite, s-video and component. Late 1st Gen XD|S has a Component adapter. ![6a00d83451c1bb69e2013487980767970c](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/f/f16b30dc793fd67f3422c82d1cfc3f3f4d3693ee.jpeg) My guess is Netflix will still work on a hacked Wii. ---

Peltz only specified a 480i requirement. Cool about the gen 1 Rokus!
