Hi Czar! Yes, you can. All the Roku menus are internal on the device itself. You're only connecting to the Internet to update the device and accessing the apps. You can even access the same apps as long as your subscription supports it. For example, if you have the 4K level membership on Netflix, you can have 4 people signed in to the service at the same time. Why that works is because each Roku has a different network MAC address. Keeps each device unique.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can have multiple TVs each with their own Roku. Limitations will be your wifi or ethernet speed (you can hardwire the Ultra), and perhaps conficting remotes (using the app allows you to control with no IR interference). I have 3 RokuTVs on the same wall and they all work well. 2 Run wifi off and one is hard wired. Say you have a big house, you can have a TV in every room, each with its own Roku. Hardwiring is NOT required, but have multiple WIFI Rokus can eat up your network speed. You might find it helpful to find a Router which support MU-MIMO as well. [If you have a package like Hulu w Live TV, it does limit you to two simultaneous streams at the base price. Upgrading the package adds more simultaneous streams. Other apps may have similar limitations.] BTW. One of my TVs is constantly running a Fireplace Channel. Nothing like watching TVs in front of the fireplace, especially when you dont have to re-stock the logs!
