A: If I were you, I'd check with Roku online chat or Cust. Serv. and ask if you need cable for at least accessing Nexflix, etc. and ask if any other channels can be accessed directly through Roku, skipping cable completely. I have internet bundle and very basic econ. pkg. with Cox, so don't know how it would work. But I keep seeing ads about bypassing the "tyranny" of cable. Worth a look... .
Q: Will this device give access to HBO, Netflex and Hulu chananel free?
A: To download the channel it's free, but to actually use the service you'd have to buy a subscription for Netflix, Hulu, etc.
Q: Which one has the best pick up of a WiFi signal. My present roku keeps dropping the signal.
A: I have not had any problems with dropped signals with this unit. I have an excellent router though that has 5g service. Make sure your router placement is central to everything in the house.
Q: Can this device be used with an old non-HD tv?
A: Yes. I would think so. My TV is a six-year-old Sony Bravia, LCD. It works perfectly with my TV. I don't have any problem so far. I used it for Netflix and Amazon prime. I purchased this product about two weeks ago. Hope this helps.
Q: why do I have to give my visa number to set up account for Roku
A: My guess would be in case you rent any shows or movies
A: When I asked what the difference was between the two; I was told the only difference is that the stick was not compatible with the new 4G TVs. I don’t know much about streaming so I had to rely on what I was told. Hope that helps.
A: The Express and Express+ are lower-power processors. One will notice a performance lag with those compared to a quad core processor Roku. They are budget models. Personally, my experience has been that the 3600-series Roku sticks can work better with weaker wifi signals than the Express does. I think the quad core helps there. ymmv. The 3600-series Roku Stick and the Premier series and the Ultra have a quad core processor. The differences between the quad core Rokus are features. Some have ethernet or can accept a memory card or have a different type of remote control. See the Roku site's comparison chart, as another contributor pointed out.
Q: Is the HDMI cable included in the purchase?? Or would I need to purchase one?? Thank You.
A: HDMI cable is not included, must be purchased separately
