You can stream up to 2 videos at any given time regardless of which devices.9 years, 2 months ago
A:
I'm pretty sure it is. I have ATT U-Verse and didn't have a problem. As long as you have an open USB port, it should work. It's a stand alone and just connects with a USB cable to your TV. Hope this helps.9 years, 3 months ago
A:
Yes.It hooks up separately via wireless or LAN connection and requires
a HDMI connection.
As long as you have an additional HDMI connection on your TV,
have WiFi or run an Ethernet cable to it your good to go.
It will not interfere with your TIVO.

A:
Yes. The Amazon Fire connects to a separate HDMI port on your TV, and while I believe it supports Netflix, you can continue to use Netflix through your TiVO instead and Amazon Prime through the Fire.by

If there is a Direct TV app for android devices, then this can also stream their programs. It's limitation is only what DTV ALLOWS the app to do.Check with DTV and see what you can do with the DTV app.

Not that I've found. You can subscribe to Sling TV, which offers some popular cable channels for $20/month, and you can add HBO for another $15... way cheaper than cable or satellite. But I haven't seen OWN offered anywhere for streaming.8 years, 10 months ago
