With the proper channels added to the player yes. They have many channels to find exactly what you want. I recommend this unit. I have three of them and they are good devices.

No. There are TV shows ( previous episodes not current) available to watch but you have to pay.

I don't think the answer to your question is "no". The answer is "sometimes". I know of no way to live stream any of the major broadcast networks via Roku. However, there are many ways to access network shows, particularly prime time shows, as soon as the day after they air. Some of those ways involve a subscription (Hulu Plus is the best example of that since it has the widest selection of current shows) and some do NOT involve a separate subscription. For instance, through my free Plex server I can select a wide number of what Plex calls "Channels", including some of the major networks plus AMC, Bravo, History, etc. Through that access I can watch many current shows that are available from those networks on demand. For instance, right now on the CBS "Channel" I get through my Plex server I can watch the latest 3-5 episodes of just about every show that airs on CBS. I assume that this same content would be available to me via computer from CBS.com but this way I'll watch the shows full-screen on my HDTV in what for me is very high resolution. This is one of the beauties of Roku -- in many way it allows you to get content you could get on your computer but access it through easy navigation controls and watch it on your big screen TV. Even though the total number of "current" shows that you can watch one way or another through Roku might be quite large, though, the process will probably continue to be awkward and what you can get will continue to be hit or miss.

I have not tried this, but if a TV station or TV app streams live I don't see why you would not be able to watch it. Also, for archived stuff, there is a Hulu app, so that should work too.

You just need a high speed internet connection of some sort. Certain channels like HBO Go or Fox or SHO require a cable subscription (or a sign in code from a friend who has a cable subscription) in order to use. Other channels are free or require a monthly subscription (Netflix; Hulu Plus) or have on demand options where you pay for the content you want to watch.

It will give you the ability to watch over the air channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS in high definition. You cannot watch cable channels using an antenna.

There are 2 tuners so as long as you are only recording 1 show you can use the other to view live TV.

You can watch the free digital channels over the air. Not good quality for analog channels. It is use mostly for digital recording like a recorder.

Yes. The program you get from their website (free,) has a built in broadcast module. Just set it up, start playing and broadcasting in one go.

You can watch HGTV shows on the computer. ABC family channel Secret Life of the American Teenager and many others are available via computer streaming. We switched to low cost basic cable, with Netflix and a free 30 day trial to Hulu Plus. Using this ROKU box, and streaming other programs through your computer, will give you a lot of low cost entertainment.Many are in perfect HD. I think HDTV is standard def.
