Hisense Roku TV

If you are thinking about buying a Hisense Roku TV, be aware that it does not support the Watch ESPN app for Roku. I wish I had known this before I purchased it.

I got one for my office. I use the microsoft wireless display adapter with it, works great and when off hours, catch up on shows via netflix etc. Not a bad setup for the $249 I paid for the 40 inch version.

I'm pretty sure I was able to use watch espn and SEC network on it.

According to my Roku account it is not supported by the Hisense and it does not appear on my on screen menu.

I'll have to confirm when I go back to work. I may be (probably) mistaken.

you have to go to the Roku store . then your internet provider has to offer ESPN 3 or you will not get it !!for watch espn you have to enter your acc.# from dish . the roku store will have the app. you need

You don't understand what I am saying. I have Watch ESPN on my Rokus.It works fine. It is just not supported by the Roku device that is manufactured in the television. I have enjoyed many hours of programming on ESPN3 on my TV sets with the ROKU attached with an HDMI cable. I am just disappointed that they do not tell you ahead of time that the TV might not support certain channels.

wow the roku is in the tv !!!! I have a JVC TV that is roku ready and it came with a roku streaming stick . it plugs in to a HDMI MHL port . i just add it to my roku acc. and it works great .

yeah, I checked today, it was NFL now and a couple other sports channels, not ESPN 3. Kind of odd that it's not supported. And yes it's a bummer they don't tell you that upfront.

Other than that, for the price it's a great bedroom or office or whatever TV with Roku Built in.
