Netflix sells out of movie boxes
From Times Wire Services
Netflix Inc. has sold out of the set-top boxes that stream movies from the Internet to TV sets, indicating stronger-than-expected demand, Chief Executive Reed Hastings said.
Netflix, the largest U.S. mail-order movie service, is pressing supplier Roku Inc. to increase production, Hastings said. The $100 system lets customers order movies online and watch them on a television using Wi-Fi technology.
