Functions like a modem and connects streaming pay services from the Internet like Netflix and others. I don't think you need it if you have a wireless network already regards, Joe

It provides NetFlix if you subscribe to it plus a lot of other apps. Pandora, HBOGo, etc.. The benefit of the stick is that you don't need the Roku box. Just plug the stick directly into your OPPO. We love it and get a lot of use with it. Check out the Roku website.

The Roku Streaming Stick plugs into the side of the TV into the HDMI 3 (MHL) slot. It will take a few minutes to be seen by the TV so be patient. When you see the bouncing Roku, hit "ENTER" on the remote and answer the set up questions. Enjoy !

No!This device only plays movies you have on your computer, You transfer movies, Photos and music to a flash dirve and can watch them on your TV or projector. It is not a set top box like Roku. Check out set top boxes for streaming movies and internet channels. Also some DVD players have access to Netflix, check it out.

that reviewer might have an old firmware. as long as your TV stays plugged in, it will stay on. Even if you turn the TV off. a possible downside is that it'll make your TV less efficient (roku uses power to stay on). i hesitated on purchasing the stick based on this dang review. glad i pulled the trigger!

The fire stick only requires an hdmi port and Internet access from wifi. So any TV with hdmi can be hooked up to fire stick. Don't know about the roku, but is probably also hdmi and Internet with wifi access to make it work. Either that or a USB port. Don't know if this tv has a USB port.

It is not clear if you have an available HDMI port. If you have a ROKU already I don't see the advantage unless you want the Android tablet onscreen. If so, then I would connect the Rikomagic to the HDMI that ROKU is using and plug the 'power' into the USB slot. As long as you have wireless nearby you should be good to go. Keep in mind you will need a USB mouse and keyboard (or wireless via USB dongle) to access the menus on the Rikomagic. Best of Luck. Hope it all works out for you.

It works in the MHL port on my LG 32LN530B. (Currently no LG TVs are certified as "Roku Ready") On YouTube there's a review of the Streaming Stick working on a Samsung TV (no Samsungs are certified by Roku either). Apparently Roku is being unnecessarily difficult with the certification. My advice is if you really want one and your TV has an MHL port, try it even if it's not on Roku's list. You can always return it if for some reason it doesn't work.It uses the navigation buttons on your MHL-equipped TV remote. No special remote is required.

You get the added benefit of the Oppo video processing, also you can control the player and roku from one remote as well. Ive moved my roku 3 tp a different room and used the streaming stick with the oppo.

yes, roku doesn't use your computer to function, just the wifi whether from your pc or modem. I use the Roku even with the computer off.

Yes, I have two Roku-Hd units and an Xbox 360. All share and stream from the same Netflix account flawlessly.

If you don't already own the Streaming stick, Roku is coming out with a new one that goes in a regular HDMI port. You can "pre-order" one right now. If you do already have the streaming stick, this might help you identify the Roku Ready TVs. http://www.roku.com/roku-ready/devices#!/tv

I have a Roku stick, not a Kindle Fire, but it's the same in terms of basic function. My TV has only one HDMI input, but in addition to the Roku stick I have a cable box, so I need to switch. The Monoprice splitter works perfectly.

Here is what I think: each Roku is doing its own streaming and therefore the originating point of streaming for each one can be different. So, short answer would be yes, I think you can watch different shows on each device.

Sorry, I don't have the new Roku. I use the pigtail to switch between dvd players and it works perfecdtly.

No, audio streaming only. Formats and providers are changing so fast that you'd be best off getting a roku/amazon/google streaming stick or device anyway.

Yes you can, but ROKU has access to many more streaming channels that the TV doesn't.

If the Roku has an HDMI Plug, I don't see any reason not to work. Try it out
