will the Roku work without the internet or cable? null

No.. Roku will not work without the Internet. It's a streaming device.

Must have internet. Both WiFi and wired work great. I have a mere 3mb Internet speed and it works greater at 720p.

it will only work with an Internet connection

No, it needs a internet connection(wifi)

You don't need cable TV (we don't have cable TV), but you do need internet access. Either connect directly to a router using an Ethernet cable or set your Roku up using Wi-Fi. Either way, you need internet access.

Without cable? Absolutely. Without the Internet? Sort of. It is a steaming consumer. You will need internet at least long enough to get your channels loaded. You could load Plex and stream local content without any internet if you wanted. It would need local networking though via Wifi.

Without cable, yes. Good cord-cutting device. But you need to have Internet.

It is a media streaming device so it needs an internet connection. The device uses the internet to access TV content. You are expanding your options and potentially eliminating or reducing the need for cable (as an option)

No. the Roku is a great device however it is solely a streaming device.

No This requires an internet connection.
