A:AnswerI don't have Spectrum TV, but there is a Spectrum app which can be downloaded from Roku's site. According to Roku: "...With Spectrum TV, you can enjoy up to 250 live TV channels and up to 30,000 On Demand TV shows and movies when you're connected to your Spectrum Internet service at home. To get started, sign in using your Spectrum username and password..." So it would see that as long as you are on your home network, the answer to your question is, yes.
A:AnswerI am not sure exactly what you are asking. You have to connect to WiFi in order to use it. It sounds like either you have not have configured your TV to use the public WiFi, or the public WiFi you are using may be blocking the apps from working in order to prevent people from streaming on their shared WiFi. Assuming you have configured your smart tv correctly for WiFi, then most likely the public WiFi is blocking Netflix, Hulu, etc. at their end, and it will be blocked regardless of if you are using a Roku Streaming Stick Plus, an Amazon Firestick, or a smart TV.
A:AnswerHere's what I found on Roku's site:

A:AnswerThere are a couple of differences between all of the devices. Other than the differences in cost.
If you compare each item using the compare tool. You will notice the difference in the description of the items.
The display resolution is the biggest difference (4K or 1080p), OS it can run on, voice controlled remote or not, and storage expansion.
Also, the newer ones have better wifi support and range.
A:AnswerYes, if it's a new Roku. I bought my Rokus three or four years back, and those didn't support YouTube TV. So I had to buy new ones (I bought the middle version of three available, approximately $45-50). The new ones do support YouTube TV, and help deliver massive monthly savings (think easily $100/month) vs. a high-end cable TV package. I highly recommend.
A:AnswerI have set-up three (3) Roku Streaming devices and at NO time was I EVER asked to pay anything. When connected to the TV, the Roku will initialize and then you go on the internet (there is a prompt) to gain a code that you then enter into the appropriate place on your TV screen. Of course, any other services that you access through the Roku device will charge you a monthly programming fee.
A:AnswerYes, you can download DTV on a Roku. Just download it under streaming channels. This website will tell you how: https://help.directvnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000637383
A:AnswerQuality is as good as your internet. YouTube tv gives local channels and others. I think you need an antenna but YouTube tv should cover most all of the antenna channels.
A:AnswerIt will work off of any HDMI-input device -- it runs based on a wireless internet connection, so provided you have that, you can access content. It's a mixed bag of free content (most requiring you to register with websites) or paid services (i.e. Hulu, Amazon Prime Netflix, etc.). Note that if your TV does not have a powered USB slot, you will have to plug the Roku unit into a power source (outlet). Quality and consistency of the Roku is HIGHLY dependent on your internet speed, and wireless router specs/capability, in addition to how many devices you have drawing on your wifi signal.
A:AnswerYes! It works with all my Samsung devices that have the Smart View feature - including my S5, S6, S7, & various Samsung Tablets!!! Love this feature since I use Kodi to stream shows & movies (spare me the finger shaking for using Kodi...I know, I know - bad girl!) and since you cannot install Kodi on Roku devices (unlike Amazon products or any Android devices) - it makes it possible for me to mirror those things to my TV!
A:AnswerYes if you are using the ARC HDMI from your Amplifier to Television. The Roku can be plugged into any HDMI port on your Amplifier such as Video 1. Hope that helps.
