Sadly, Apple, Inc., has discontinued its entire network division. If you want to buy a really compact Router and it will set up your network, this is the one to buy.

I was surprised that this TV produced such a great picture. It had been discounted down to $499, which is crazy. Despite the low price it had everything on it that I needed and the speaker sound from the TV was just fine. If you can get it at this price, it's a steal.

This is a product if you need it, then you have to buy it. Comes in two flavors - a yearly subscription or like this one, you just buy it and it's yours with free updates.

Once you buy a printer for this type of cartridge, this is it. Do not buy a reseller cartridge. Easy to replace and install. Easy. And BestBuy handles the recycle.

BEST IN ITS CLASS. I thought I was forever tethered to my iPhone. NOT. The Apple watch renders the iPhone almost useless. It has a few apps for health and heartbeats that is beyond measure. Love this product.

Can someone tell me how it's formatted? I'm trying to back up my photos library. I kept getting error code 36 with my previous external hard drive. I was told to by a new one and make sure it's formatted Mac OS extended journaled. Thanks.

It's formatted for Apple "extended and journaled."

 Roku - Premiere+ Streaming Media Player - Black
Roku - Premiere+ Streaming Media Player - Black
Stream favorite shows and movies with the Roku Premiere+. It handles 4K resolution so you get the most out of your high-end television, and it includes access to more than 4500 channels for varied subscription options. The Roku Premiere+ comes with a remote so you can browse entertainment options from your couch.
 

How does this Roku Premiere+ connect to a TV that has a sound bar via optical cable? How this Roku differs from Roku 4?

The Roku Premier + does not have an optical output so you would have to use your HDMI port instead. Does your sound bar have an HDMI input and separate HDMI output? If so, it will probably work. The Roku 4 has an optical output. I would not buy the Premier + for your sound bar. You may have to press the sound bar remote a number of times in a different order just to get it to work.

I just realized, by accident, that the earbuds work even when I am on "regular" TV. I have a maximum data usage. If using earbuds for regular tv, am I using data usage?

No. Using earbuds has nothing to do with your usage. You are already streaming - earbuds is an accessory only.

can I watch local news stations on the Roku-premiere+ in Ontario canada

I don't know. It typically will broadcast nationwide networks like ESPN or History Channel but localized stations I have seen and I doubt it because it's not in real time.

You need an ethernet switch if your router has less than 4 ports. You can mix them up but make sure they all have ethernet connections.
