    Need some Roku help please

    I have a Roku 2 (about a year old..Sling promotion) ethernet connected, hit about 90Mbps down. DirectvNow wants to buffer a lot (I know they've had their issues) but it also resets a lot, I can push the home button, screen appears, but app sound continues, uninstalled app, Roku is up to date...

    Using laptop for streaming DirectvNow issue

    DRCars, a HUGE thank you!! I set my laptop to Central time even though I'm in Eastern time and am having NO issues as of right now with the constant pausing.

    Using laptop for streaming DirectvNow issue

    My laptop is a few yrs old, but was overkill at the time so it still runs everything great EXCEPT DirectvNow. I have it hardwired into my wireless gateway. My speeds run about 105Mbps down. Seems like every minute or so it is like I hit a pause button. Audio and video freezes for 2-3 seconds and...

    5GHZ band on Roku express +?

    Have an older tube tv I'm not ready to give up on yet. My internet wireless gateway supports both 2.4GHz & 5GHZ band. Does the Roku express + (yellow red and white cord) support 5GHZ band? By chance does it have an ethernet port on it? Thanks, Andy

    HDMI conversion to coax??

    I have an older rca 19 inch tube tv. It only has a coax connection. No red, yellow and white connections. I'm wanting to add a Roku to the tv. What would I need to convert the picture to coax and is there even a device that would convert HDMI to red, yellow and white and then to coax? Thanks, Andy

    New Roku on the way

    I have 2 Rokus. 1 that is an original 2XS I believe (gave to my dad when I preordered the new Roku 2 from Sling TV) and the speed was light years quicker, not to mention the 5ghz capability and eithernet port on back.

    New Roku on the way

    I saw official pics of all 4 (I think) maybe 3, can't exactly remember, new Roku devices. Prices will start at 29.99 for similar "stick", but it's been updated some. I saw this official Roku post on Facebook from Roku company itself. I am impressed with all the new Roku devices!!

    Google Chromecast the Most Popular Streaming Device in 2015

    I had issues with Sling TV with it. Called Sling multiple times and discovered it was the Chromecast that was the problem. Went back to the old standby roku. No trouble at all now.

    Chromecast for Sling

    I was told by a person at Sling TV that roku had the least problems. I bought a Chromecast and the picture seems to "downgrade" more than when I had my roku 2 that's dead now hooked up. I have plenty of internet speed and everytime I try to change the speed settings in the Sling app it auto...
