Whether your holiday favorite is It's a Wonderful Life, Christmas Vacation or Ernest Saves Christmas--though I hope not--the holiday protagonist of your choice can be on your screen anytime with these three great streaming media devices that you might not know about.

Roku (shown above) has always been known for its awesome streaming media players, but it recently just announced a $49 player; essentially, the same cost as a few movie tickets and popcorn. The Roku LT offers HD video, built-in wireless and access to more than 300 channels including HBO Go, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Instant Video. ($49 from amazon, our affiliate) 

The Orb Live system is one we've recommended before and is another way to get your favorite movie stars into your homes. (Bradley Cooper is welcome in my living room anytime.) With Orb Live and its OrbCaster software, you can instantly get any media files you have on your computer--from Hulu, Sirius Radio, Netflix and more--onto your TV or mobile devices through its dedicated apps. ($99 from orb.com) 

The ScreenCast creates a virtual cord from your laptop to your TV, not only letting you access movies and online content, but also photos and the Internet. The series includes three different models, the top of the line being the wireless AV to HDTV adapter that lets you include all your gaming and other devices too. We love it so much, we included it in our hot holiday tech gifts of 2011 list. Set-up is simple, all you have to do is connect the device to your TV and then launch a software program on your laptop. The TV will then mirror everything you see on your PC and then you're free to use Netflix to stream all the Bradley Cooper-- I mean, holiday movies you want. ($83-$239 on amazon) -Jeana
