You just need the Roku 1. Shaped like a little box. I have a an older TV and as long as you have the red, white, yellow outlets, then you are good to go.

First, get aRoku that is right for your tv. Then you need to subscribe to a streaming service like Netflix, Hulu. Then get ready to cut your cable!!

Yes it can...The Router (other wised called the wireless router) is what actually gives you wireless Internet (wifi). The router takes the Internet from your modem and converts it into a wireless internet signal. This now allows you to use devices that need wifi for internet access (like I-pads and tablets). Once you buy a router you can now purchase a Roku Streaming Media Player. This will allow you wireless internet access to Netflix as well as other movie Apps. I would suggest you read reviews and purchase a good router from a reputable company like NetGear. The better the router the more powerful your wireless Internet signal will be. Think of it as radio reception..if you have a cheap radio; your reception will be horrible but if have good radio your reception will be much better. I also suggest that you place a security pass code on your router signal (iHow to nstructions are included with Router purchase); this will prevent your neighbors from stealing your wifi signal. They won't be able to access your wifi without the password....Hope this helps..

Yes you can.I gave the cable company there box back but kept the internet.I use ampified rabbit ears for local channels and watch Hulu on my roku for the few channels I watch.I only wanted A&E and history channel.I got tired of pay $120.00 a month for a few channels. Take the plunge and get rid of cable.

Yes! Even using an HDMI cable. You can turn them on in the Roku settings, but some of the applications need to have them turned on in their own settings.

as long as the tv has a hdmi hookup it will work. if a roku has red yellow and white it will also, but the picture will not be as good. all rokus need the internet to work.

The only difference is the remote. the Roku 3 ($99) come with a romote that you can speak into and fine the movies/shows you want. It also has a headset that attached to the remote. If you don't think you will use these features save the money and get the Roku 2. have a friend who got the 3 and the voice thing was fun for awhile but he no longer uses it. He never used the headset.

Yes. Try the "On the Way HDMI to Component Video (YPbPr) Converter (~$48). Be informed, however, that this will work fine if all you need to do is watch TV shows from streaming sources like Netflix. You will not, however, be able to view Blu-Ray movies that are HDCP copy-protected because analog signals are unable to get by the HDCP protection.
