Re: The Roku Thread
With no 5.1, and "HD" picture not too great. Fail.
You do get the first X-Men movie for free, but my D-VHS tape looks better. |

Re: The Roku Thread
Anyone have one of the new Roku TVs from TCL or HiSense?
https://www.roku.com/roku-tv I've been looking for a new 40-inch TV for the bedroom. I was planning to get a cheap LG or Samsung and another Roku 3. That would probably run around $400-$450. The 40-inch TCL is only around $300. And it seems to get decent reviews. http://www.amazon.com/TCL-40FS4610R-...dp/B00K7NCS9G/ |
Re: The Roku Thread
I own and am very happy with a TCL TV but I don't have the Roku model, I hear the Roku integration is quite good though.

Thanks for the info - that's awesome news. Comcast probably figured since HBO is going stand-alone, they don't need to tick off subscribers.

Any word when CBS All-Access becomes a Roku Channel?

Re: The Roku Thread
Nope, still just "in the coming months."

Occasionaly I will see the picture get jerky for a split second, almost like it is in slow motion, then come right back. Picture looks good. Maybe not full 1080p but defintiely HD. Nice to not have to worry about blacked out games, and being able to choose which feed you want to watch. All in all I recommend it.
On a side note, anyone have any luck finding a travel case that works well with the roku 3? I know some people just put all the pieces in a bag, but I was spoiled by Western Digital offering a nice zippered blowmolded case for the WDTV that I used to use. Big differences for me between Hockey Streams and the NHL streaming package was price (Hockey Streams is much cheaper) and there are no blackouts with Hockey Streams. The NHL streaming package will black out any local market games that are airing on locally available TV on any channel. |

Re: The Roku Thread
Foxnow and FXnow also works with Directv but for some reason FXnow says I need to upgrade my tv package or change parental controls. I have that tier and parental controls are set to allow all ratings.
Hmm, I logged out then back and now it works. I expected that all shows would be up on FX but looks like only the Simpsons has that option. No eps of Archer yet and only last five for Gotham, The League is only season 6. Still good if you missed recent eps. |

Re: The Roku Thread
Is roku transitioning to a "new" online login address ? I say new in quotes because I log in to their website infrequently.
In the past, clicking on "sign in" always took me to https://owner.roku.com/ Tonight the "sign in" address was https://my.roku.com/signin |
Re: The Roku Thread
They just had a bit of a system update for the units- my background screen looks slightly different, and they've included DTS in the audio options now- you may need to go back and set it for that if your receiver supports it (and I don't know of any in the past 10+ years that don't.) Haven't seen anything actually use DTS yet, CinemaNow supposedly does but still getting 2-channel PCM out of that, and the interface on it is still unusably slow.

Re: The Roku Thread
A lot of people using Plex have DTS files, so it's a good thing. Though I believe it was supported in the past, at least as pass thru.

Any word on MinorLeagueBaseballTV becoming a Roku Channel?

Re: The Roku Thread
Unlikely. They just recently released the Android and iPhone apps, consoles will probably be next, then Roku and Apple TV.

A few minor hiccups here and there, but it is great being able to watch an out of market game live. I believe there is a slight dealy, but stuff happens on screen before I get the notification from the ESPN app. It really is great, and I don't use it to nearly it's full potential. In addition to NHL games there are several other leagues games that are streamed on there. As well as the occasional special from the NHL network.
