Roku heads...

The broadcast is no different than your Cable broadcast. This is not even an issue for concern. You will receive the broadcast exactly as the provider sends it out. Be it 480, 720, or 1080. The only thing that can break your signal is if you have a poor internet connection. I'd recommend a minimum of 10Mbps(Roku recommends 1.5Mbps).

:lol: I wonder if the roku techs ever tried streaming hd on a 1.5mbps connection

This thread got me so confused. Ok I already own 2 Wdtv one is a live. I bought a Logitech Revue on black Friday didn't go looking for one. I bought it cause it had a web browser, so I can stream all the upcoming NBA games. Its says it plays almost anything including FLV.

Then I get on this thread and I've been conflicted ever since. Can you stream sports with the ROKU. and when you all say over 400 channels. What kinda channels are they? I have about 6 more days till I can return my revue. If you cant stream sports on the Roku. Im going to Keep my Revue.

But you Mofos make this sound so fukin spectacular. I want one, but do I need one?

I dont know a lot about the Logitech Revue. So maybe you can answer a few questions first. Where are you streaming the sports from? Websites, blogs, Justin TV? I also read that you have to have paid Cable Service to use the Logitech Revue. Is this true?

Yea the usual live stream spots I've been using on my laptop. Haven t tried Justin TV yet. I don't think there's an app for that. I got rid of cable over a year ago. I do have cable internet. No its not true you need to have paid cable services. You can link it to your DVR if you do. Its like my WDLive but with a browser.

I would like to stop downloading everything. Going through TB's like crazy.

Oh ok. I asked because i dont watch a lot of sports. And was trying to figure out if you pill from the same places that Roku has direct access to. Roku has a lot of sports channels. Plus you get NHL, MLB, UFC, and I think the NDA channel when the season gets going. You also have Justin TV for live sports streams.

I still dont understand why you cant plug the Logitech Revue right into your TV. That was one of the main reasons I didnt get one. I also keep hearing that so much stuff is blocked. I was gonna get a Revue, but I like my TV to be passive. Thats why I choose the Roku. It feels more like a TV and less like a computer.
 
I have the Hockey Streams channel and most games come in near damn HD. Is there an NFL and NBA Streams channel as well? I got the Roku 2 Sunday night, and outside fo JustinTV, haven't been able to find football live streams...Also, the fight is on this Saturday, hope i can finds a live stream channel for it.

I did plug it right in to my TV using the HDMI. It works great I dont have a immediate problem with it. Other than waiting for the Honeycomb update. It is supposed to dramatically change the device. I did try justin TV and Veetle last night and it did work. So streaming sports doesn't seem to be a problem. Yes watching ABC,NBC..etc can be a problem. I been a member here for a long time. I learned how to circumvent shit because of BGOL.

I think you answered my question so Im going to read more reviews before I decide to return my Revue. Thanks

Thinking of getting another Roku for my mancave, but curious about the revue. Does it gave an actual browser? Is it like a tablet/PC on tv?

Yea its a Box that looks like a router and comes with a keyboard. I can do whatever I usually do online. Its Google TV so it comes with Chrome and Flash.

Glad you like it so far. Shit is mad addictive. The first night I added so many channels, collecting them shits like kids used to collect Pokemon cards.

There really are a lot of different channels. You got the LT (purple box) correct? Was thinking about picking up another.

Yea man. This shit like crack. When I first saw one at my neighbors house I used that shit for five hours straight. Ever since I got my own I never put it down since. They add channels all the time so you gotta check the Channel Store daily.

my lt has no sd card and plays 720p hd nicely
Click to expand...

I think the SD card is for when you have a massive ammont of channels since there at least 700+ channels when yo add all the private channels.

Also it could be used in the future to download movies directly from the internet to the Roku for play.
