How to stream online movies and music to your TV

There are many ways to get Internet music and video onto your TV. We'll show you how to pick the best option.

Watching a Netflix or YouTube video on a computer screen can feel a little crowded, especially in a huddle of friends.

To fix that problem, many televisions are now adding these services to the TV interface, creating what are now considered "smart TVs." Services like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and YouTube are readily available on those TVs for streaming media to the big screen.

But if you don't own a streaming-ready TV, you have dozens of options to emulate the experience. Popular devices like Roku, Boxee, and the Apple TV have cropped up, each offering a different way to get Internet movies, TV shows, and music onto your home theater.

Watch the video for a walkthrough of the best devices for Internet-to-TV streaming, including a couple you might already own.
