Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
Bought this and having problems hooking it up. On my tv screen it says I need the network password for my MySpectrumWiFi94-2G Where is password on my router which is not a Spectrum but another brand or is it on my modem itself

Good for you. Let us know how you like it!

Get to know You Tube, it's great. Search for topics you like and it will begin offering you videos according to your search preferences; history, comedy, pets, how to /diy, cooking, science, travel, news, music....almost anything.
 
I found this about Roku when I hooked it up. You need a credit card and they take out fee's. I also found this on the internet from a BBB
BBB warns of company allegedly tricking people into paying fees to activate Roku.

I'm returning it to Walmart. I hate to take a chance after I found A report about it on BBB website.

Well I have two of them and have had them for years and never had any problems. Easy to enable, one with company help over the p hone, one without -- no fees or hassle.

The link you posted says is is NOT Roku who is doing the charging, but rather some third party company. So don't call the third party company. Easy fix.
 
Have had a Roku since the company first started selling them. Activation was simple: Get on the site and get an account. You could give a credit card number if you wanted to, in order to sign up for channels that required payments. I never did. If it's mandatory, now, that sucks.....

Now that I think of it, I paid channels directly, not through Roku. I pay for Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu, but I pay them, not Roku.
 
O.K. folks. For the unwashed and uneducated (I'm one of them), what does a Roku do?

I have cable for t.v. I pay $28.00 a month. I live in Canada and I get plenty of U.S. channels and shows as well as Canadian news.

There are no fees Robert. Third party trying to take advantage of you. Had mine for 3 years and no fees.

O.K. it's a streaming device. I don't do videos too well because I have a hearing problem, so I did not watch the entire video.
So I'm guessing, you need an internet connection. So depending on how much you want to pay for internet (fast or slow), then the results would reflect?
I'm wondering however, if you have You Tube, wouldn't it do the same thing without the Roku device?
 
About two years ago I was paying 25.00 a month from Frontier and told them I was leaving and they said wait we will give a better deal and came down to 20,00. I just sign up for this 15.00 dollar deal 6 months ago. They will make deals if they think you are going to leave I found out.

If you have :
'smart tv", You Tube is probably already loaded. I have a dumb tv, do I need the Roku to get it.
 
I was in Walmart looking to buy a TV. They had an RCA Roku. I didn't buy it because I didn't understand it. Probably a good deal. I don't have You Tube on my t.v. I have it on my IPad.I haven't tried connecting my iPad to the t.v. Set yet.Its not a smart TV. Just reasonably intelligent. Just too much to watch on cable anyway.
