Q: What channels can I see with roku and what’s the fee per month
A: Once you install Roku there is no other expense and has many Free channels you can download. We wanted our local channels plus certain news channel, sports, Smithsonian, TCM, and others so we downloaded YouTube TV which is $49/month. But if you just want movies there are lots of options out there EX: Pluto that are free. We were paying over $200/mo for cable. Now we pay $45/mo for Internet and $49/mo for YouTube TV. We love it.
A: I use the Roku to watch Spectrum in our bedroom on a Visio 46” tv. It works well. You just have to download the Spectrum app and use your WiFi to connect.
A: No just a spare HDMI port.
A: You need one main Xfinity box (like the DVR in the living room) on your wireless network, Then any satellite boxes for other tv's around the house can all be replaced with a Roku Express or Premium with the Xfinity Stream app available for download. You can then return those boxes to Comcast and save $10 a month/each. FYI : Many Samsung TV's now have the Xfinity Stream app available. Also soon LG and Sony.
Q: Is the Xfinity streaming app available on roku for the tv?
A: Yes, I purchased one 4K and three Express Roku streaming devices just to replace additional box rental fees from Comcast. The app works just like your channel guide on the rental boxes, other than you don't have numbers to enter in directly. You need to know the channel you are heading to or it takes a while. I just keep adding the most common channels I use to favorites to keep it simplified. It is about a 30 second delay from the cable box, so not too bad. When watching on your home network you are able to view the entire program library you would get from a cable box. On-Demand. DVR. Premium channels. So, it takes time to get used to but pays for itself very quickly.
A: Yes this product does get warm. There is no on/off switch, however I found that if you have an USB port on your TV you can plug the power cord into that and it will act as an on/off switch when you turn the TV on and off.
Q: Can I use Roku premier 4K for my LG Smart HDTV?
