You can stream Hulu (regular Hulu) through the Roku if you have a PlayOn Subscription. More information about PlayOn is here: http://www.playon.tv/playon We have had a PlayOn subscription for a year and LOVE it (we chose the lifetime membership as it was only $60).

Hi there, I bought a ROKU unit that uses wi-fi or direct plugin from your Internet source. The ROKU then provides access to Netflix, HULU and hundreds of other choices. Simple to use, and comes with handheld controller. Good luck and enjoy the awesome image quality from your new tv!

It now does. It was in a recent update. Works like a charm now. Still doesn't have free Hulu though. Still only Hulu Plus.

No. It doesn't stream any of the popular sites. I just got a Roku3. Go with a Roku. Micca has been a major waste of money for me.

The RCA Wi-fi device does not allow you to stream Amazon.com movies. You can stream only Netflix, Vudu, Hulu Plus, You Tube videos, as well as Pandora music. I wish it did stream Amazon. When i want to view a movie through Amazon, I have to use my computer or my Kindle Fire device.

Think of the Roku just like another service such as Comcast or U-verse. You can only watch content from channels that Roku offers. Currently Roku doesn't offer any of the channels mentioned I don't believe. Go to Roku's web site to see the complete listing of channels.

No, I don't think a Roku device will stream everything that's on the internet. It only streams channels that are programmed into its memory. Look at Roku's website and it will show which channels each device can stream.

No. You have to have the subscription to run the app. I tried running Hulu through the browser, but they have the mobile flash locked down. That being said, between Crackle, Youtube, and Crunchyroll, there isn't much you will miss. The flash on board did ok with some webstreams (I really only tried SyFy's to watch some Eureka). Oh, and another thing that sucks about Hulu is they kill the stream to the tablet if you plug it in using HDMI.

You do not need "Cable TV" to use the Roku. You will need an internet connection to stream movies and tv shows from online services like Netflix and Amazon

Boxee has Netflix... but not Hulu Plus. We just bought another ROKU because Boxee doesn't have Hulu Plus and Amazon.We wasted our money with Boxee. Yes you can search the web with Boxee.... but the software to to this is mediocre at best.I just don't bother any more.

Hi Sara. No, you will just connect the Roku to (1) your home internet via a wireless internet connection and (2) your tv. Everything the Roku supports such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc. streams thru the roku to the tv. Hope this helps.

roku can stream files that are stored on your computer using plex channel. Plex requires atleast 1GB RAM memory. Here are minimum system requirements: http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Minimum_Requirements

The device itself has a UPnP DLNA Media Server. If the ROKU has a client for that then you're good to go.

I use a Roku on mine for Amazon/Netflix... It connects into one of the HDMI ports. Works great!

No, the Roku does not. It's not meant to be a web browser. From one of their engineers:We have numerous interface improvements in the works, but we have no interest, in the short term or long term, to add web browsing to the product.http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t;=25340&start;=30

I am not sure just what a Roku is, but is its probably a digtial system using HDMI outputs, this unit handles Analog only, so I don't think it is going to work

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