“Which streaming device is best? What works best with the 500 model the Ruko or the Chromecast? Which model of these as I see lots of different models? What is really needed to stream just the basic connector or plug in? Is it necessary to get the additional accessories to use the Sling box 500?”

Roku 4 is the best device on the market. It has the most apps and can send audio to your Audio Player via an optical cable. I was considering using an apple TV but it only has Sling TV to stream live TV. I prefer PlayStation Vue, which Apple does not have. You can also steam your Apple Music, Photos or Videos from you iPhone into the Roku. Regardless of what service you use, the Roku 4 has you covered.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device and the Amazon box are very stable and to date one of the best on the market.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Roku as you need to connect the output to the 500. But does the Roku have HDMI only output, and can the 500 take a HDMI input? Also the 500 has a remote controller that changes channels on a Cable box. Can that remote control a Roku? That would be important. Chromecast cannot be controlled by a remote except a smart phone or tablet. I hope that makes sense.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use Chromecast to broadcast it from my iPad to a tv. I can watch direct on my iPhone or iPad. I gave not tried on a pc as of yet. As for connections it uses HDMI, and both audio and video cables. It was recommended to use all. Not sure why but it works.
