Roku requires a fast internet connection. We pay for a 75 Mb download and get usually at least 40 Mb. Roku works great under those conditions. It seems like the Roku has some internal caching it does to keep the picture from freezing if there is an intermittent interruption in streaming. If the Vz hotspot can provide that level of connection you should be ok. The more devices you run off the connection I would expect would degrade the performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Keep in mind Roku is a streaming device, so it's functionality will depend heavily on your internet connection. This is true for other streaming devices like Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, etc. as well. If your internet connection is ever spotty, it will directly hinder your ability to stream Netflix, Hulu, and whatever you're looking to watch on this device. It also has little to no dependency on your DirecTV satellite aside from your active account allowing you to stream channels like ESPN and HBO GO (if you have this channel on DirecTV). Hope this helps!
