Does anyone have Roku?

December 17th, 2012 at 07:24 pm

I am thinking of getting rid my satelitte and opting for a Roku. I have researched it enough to know that the shows I watch are on Hulu the next day. That is fine with me.

The only concern I have is football season. I love to watch as many football games as possible. I can get a subscription to NFL game Rewind but I don't know if I can access it for the Roku. Can you go to specific websites on the roku like you can from a computer?

    I have Roku, but, I don't really know the answer to your question! :[

    If no one else chimes in, I will check tonight when I get home.

    Petunia...basically what I am trying to find out is if I purchase a subscription to a channel if I can watch it on the roku. or if I can only do hulu or netflix. I can get a subscription for football but don't know if I would able to watch it on the roku.

    I have a roku. I googled a bit, and it does not look like you can very simply get it on roku. (Same for many other channels and subscriptions).

    We subscribe to "playon" (which you can get the NFL content through, according to google) it is all linked to our computer. I can't tell you how complex this is - my dh takes care of the tech side of all this. But I don't think this is an overly complicated setup. We bought a $40 lifetime subscription to playon.

    Be forewarned that there is a large amount of Hulu content you can not watch without playon. Which is why we got playon on the first place. A lot of the Hulu content is for "web only" and can not be accessed through the roku.

    Off the top of my head, I am not even sure if we access all the web/playon stuff with the roku at all. Might just be hooked up to our TV, or could maybe access through the Playstation. {I don't watch it much, because I find it kind of a pain. I mostly watch Amazon, netflix and Hulu content that is right on the roku}.

    I mispoke - playon is accessed through the roku.

    My dh says that you just download and install playon on your computer. & add the playon channel to your roku. It can be all done through wireless, but may be too slow (lots of buffering). Easier if you have some tech savvy (or if your kids do!). Our house was long ago wired for this so we have everything hard wired.

    Is there a cost to playon? I got a roku and we love it. It is annoying that some of the hulu plus stuff can't be watched on a tv and if playon would solve that I can watch my real housewives shows while eating bon bons. Smile

    Yes - we paid a $40 lifetime subscription for playon - not sure what the cost is right now.
