A:AnswerThe best that I can tell from the box is that Roku Premiere plus has HDR (high dynamic range). I have the plus version. The picture quality on 1080p or better shows is fantastic on our 7 year old DLP TV. There is an app that shows 4K aquarium screensavers which looks 3D on this TV.
A:AnswerMost DSL Connections are either 3 Meg Down or at best 6 Meg Down. I would not recommend any of the 4K Streamers with that type of Internet Connection. Best try Roku Streaming Stick (2016 Version) it streams at 1080P which should work. if your DSL Download Speed is 1.5 Meg you will have to upgrade your Internet Speed or Roku Device will not work correctly. It will buffer so much you will want to throw something at the TV with all the buffering you will experience. Recommended Speed for Streaming Devices is 6 Meg Down for 1080P and 25 Meg Down for 4K Content.
A:AnswerDepends on what service you subscribe to (Hulu, Sling, Netflix, Kodi, etc) and which of their packages you have chosen. Hulu, for example, has a package that includes Discovery, History, ID, Logo, TVLand, BBC, Syfy, Science, NatGeo, Comedy, MTV, Spike, and much more. You must have an internet connection. Remember, also, that if you have more than one television there has to be a separate Roku for each if there are other persons viewing in your home, or simply move a single Roku from one television to another if you are the only one who watches. The great part is that Roku costs nothing except the initial cost for the hardware. Hope this helps.
A:Answerit still connect's the with hdmi to the tv and the sound bar deliver's the sound from the tv so the roku doesn't really factor in it. the hdmi deliver's sound automatically to the tv through the cable. The sound bar just put's the sound what come's through the tv out to you. The Roku 4 has the ability to use the search with talking into the built in mic on the remote.and it come's with headphone's and work's with 4 2k TV's.Take Care I hope this help's
A:AnswerA streaming device is a device used to install various apps and stream content. Streaming content is watching TV and movies over your internet connection. Most of the time people purchase them if they are looking to minimize their cable bill be dropping the cable box and paying solely for internet. Depending on your cable provider some streaming services such as HBO Go are free with an internet subscription. They can also be used to view videos from your phone or tablet on the TV. Currently I use mine to stream netflix, & HBO Go as these are my only outlets for shows and movies.
A:AnswerThe ethernet cable is the internet connection, only. The HDMI connection is for video and audio, only. You can buy a Roku without the ethernet connection (LAN) for wireless use only but you need the HDMI port or you won't see or hear anything.
A:AnswerThe Premier plus is just like the Roku 4 was, that is, it just passes the signal through HDMI and does no decoding. So, Netflix, for example is DD+ and the Premier plus will just pass that through and send it to your TV and if your TV can't decode it, you will only hear PCM 2ch sound. If you say you don't have a receiver that can handle DD+, then the Ultra would be for you as that one has an optical audio output and the Ultra converts DD+ signals to DD 5.1 via optical.
A:AnswerIt runs cooler than the ROKU 4 I replaced. That was very hot to the touch.
My (resting) ROKU 2s (2720x) are all warmer than this ROKU Premiere Plus!!
Hope that helps.
A:AnswerNo, you don't need separate subscriptions. We have 2 Rokus at home and my daughter has another one at school. We use the same Netflix account with different profiles so we each can keep track of what we watch.
A:AnswerYou don't need 3 routers. A roku unit for each television and you can mix models. I have the premier on one the express on my other 3 televisions.
A:AnswerYes, but you need to move the Roku to the other TV. Additional Roku's are required if you don't want the hassle of moving the unit, but you can link them under one account so if you choose to purchase some programming you are not billed twice.
A:AnswerI have mine as an adjunct to my smart tv because of the zillions of available channels through Roku that I can't get on my smart tv (Samsung 4k), also have tv on an antenna. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes, the app is available to download from Roku. You can simply use the “search channel” feature and search Spectrum TV. You will have the option to add the channel.
