If so...how? Bluray player? Xbox? Other? What do you recommend/not recommend? The cheaper the better. I'm looking at a blu ray player that streams because my DVD player is getting squirrly and I like things that do double duty.
I have a Roku. I love it. It has lots of "channels", Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Amazon Video... I use the Lifetime channel to watch Dance Moms for free. It's great.

wait - roku has a lifetime channel? I never noticed that. My MIL gave us her old roku and we have that upstairs but I never saw that!
Yup! If you are on the homepage and go to "search" and type in "lifetime" it is listed right there. I also use HBO to watch Game of Thrones.
We use Apple TV. We parted ways with all our dvd/blue-ray /video game consoles etc. to cut down clutter and encourage ourselves to move with technology. We stream netflix/hulu mostly and things from our iphones/ipads
Xbox in our living room and blueray in our bedroom.
Also, if we buy a kids blueray movie with a DVD, we take it out and put it in a cd folder. That way when we travel we have all their favorite movies for the DVD in the car without the blueray movie and its case.
Now I am off to google this Roku

Apple TV and xbox. Love love love the Apple TV b/c we have all our movies/music in iTunes. the xbox needs xbox live to stream so that's an additional cost but DH uses it.
We have a blue day downstairs & the roku upstairs. Love them both! PBS channel. Holiday channels. Netflix. Amazon. Yo gabba gabba. & yes the blue day will play non Blue Ray DVDs so all my regular DVDs work fine in it.
We have the roku on wireless. Sometimes it has random static cut ins. I need to wire it but haven't yet.
We use Xbox right now but the Xbox Netflix app has a bug that sometimes video and audio get desynched. So we're looking at Blu-Ray players with wireless streaming capabilities for this reason (and so we can stop using our Xbox quite so heavily).
