Anyone have the roku tv player?

[Klyk21]

dumb question, but am assuming u do have a HD TV right? you should have those channels you say u do in SD (standard definitions ) and HD , i have the same set up as you no cable and i still get all my channels in both definitions

Yea its all through a dish. Unfortunately ,it doesnt support hd on these grounds. Crazy. At my old apt, had the tivodvr with dish network. Don't miss paying that 60 bucks a month tho...

I have an Amazon fire TV that's jail broken
With that, I have no need for Netflix or other such things
I could find and watch any movie or show I could ever think of
There's plenty of live TV but it's not as crisp
You could even watch every single channel from every country
Then there's the pron that never ends
You could watch ppv events as well

Through XBMC I assume?

Do you need something like a Roku to use XBMC?

Sounds like a roku on steroids

In the craiglist posting it's a box

You wouldn't need a roku

Yeah
I'm just trying to figure out how to watch live sports on it

Roku at the moment doesn't do xbmc you could use the Amazon fire TV or get a one of the many Android boxes like this one which comes with everything already set up
G-Box Midnight MX2 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Dual Core XBMC Streaming Mini HTPC TV Box Player:Amazon:Electronics

Where can I get a cheap box that I can play xbmc on?

You don't jailbreak a TV. U jailbreak the box that connects to the TV. The apple TV and the amazon fire TV are the little boxes you jailbreak. There's also some boxes that already come with xbmc and there's no need to jailbreak

Yes, I've had it since November and if you go hard with downloading TV shows/movies, you will really enjoy the Roku. I have the Roku 3 and its fukkin official. Even tho the Amazon Fire looks loaded, I know it will be "closed" off like Apple TV is. If you use a media manager like Plex with your Roku, your stuff will be organized. It can connect to your hard drive/thumb drive and play/stream media from there and its easy to use once you get thru the initial set up and network related stuff. There's a bunch of channels, pr0n, and even "unofficial" channels that people will create and you have to find the codes or get invites to these channels.

I'm satisfied with it even tho you obviously cant watch live TV on it (yet) but I'm never home to watch TV so I watch the shows at my own pace. If I wanna watch a live game or something I will hit up a streaming site and watch on my iMac. EVentually I would think Roku will get some sort of AirPlay feature so I can stream to the TV. There's already a janky version of it that someone made but it needs more of a tweak

is there some sort of monthly pay with this service?

 

[Michael's Black Son]

no, the Roku is a one time thing and its like $99 or you might be able to get it for like $10 off at Target or Walmart
