Q: Do you have to have a roku tv in order to get the box?? Or can you get the box and it will work on any kind of tv?

A: It works on any tv that takes hdmi.!!! Bought it for my moms tv that’s an old LG.

Q: Can I stream live tv sport events with Roko? Videos I can watch on my iPhone?

A: The Roku boxes (and sticks) are just a platform from which you access streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. Those services offer movies and TV shows 'on demand'- some free, some are pay-per-view. There are other new streaming services that offer live TV streaming like Sling TV, Hulu Live TV , Directv Now, YouTubeTV. Most have access to sports channels like ESPN and FoxSports, but you will need to check to see if the streaming service offers the channels you want. Those services range from $20- $60/month depending which bundle you choose. Some offer access to local sports channels, but that is hit and miss. You will need to check that out on their website. Many of the regular TV channels (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX) are available with an OTA antenna through your TV for free. This is dependent on your reception/antenna, and if your TV accepts an OTA connection-- not all do. Most of the streaming services allow watching on different screens like laptops, iPads or smart phones. You will need to check this out on their websites. Also check out how many screens can be used at one time, as this varies from service to service and bundle to bundle.

Q: Does this come with an hdmi cable to attach to the tv or do I need my own?

A: Yes, it does. As well as a USB cable to provide power from the TV's USB Port if it has one.

Q: Can your get basis channels like ABC nbc

A: Not at all likely. Perhaps you can access your local news if you are lucky as there are lots of channels that continually rebroadcast news segments, Nowhereman channel is good for accessing these channels and Roku has a very decent national news channel. But watching whatever is being viewed on abc or cbs right now in real time. No, You can't. Your best bet is to get a quality outdoor HD antenna and use it for local channels (I get over 30 channels in my area) and use this to watch online content. With the digital TV the signal quality is fantastic, BETTER than basic non hd cable in many cases as most mainstream affiliates are broadcasting in 1080 Definition and surround sound. There is plenty of free content channels, you should have no trouble finding something to watch as they have over 1800 channels. Been a Roku user for going on 5 years now and have 3 of them in my house, and I recommend it over every other brand.

Q: Do the Roku devices come with "YouTube TV" already loaded as an app? If not, do I have to download an app?

A: you have to download every app that you want on your Roku. And my advice is to spend the extra twenty bucks and get the better one. The one that is only like $29 is not a very good one. It doesn't have enough speed to keep up with a high speed internet so it is constantly stopping to buffer...and that sucks!

Q: Can it work w/o a wireless connection, ie ethernet from wall to box and HDMI from box to tv or does it have to work on wifi.

A: It cannot work without a wireless connection. Requires WiFi as there is no ethernet port on the device.
