I have to say the tablet is the best I have, I used it more than other tablets, there is 4 iPads in our home, I just find the Nexus 7 a little more fluent and comfortable to hold. I wish I had purchased the LTE model for Mobile entertainment..

Samsung Smart TV Not So Smart for Streaming Connections. Does ROKU Solve This Problem?

I have a Netgear Wireless N router which I am shortly upgrading to AC. My problem is my smart TV struggles to connect to the Internet so I can access my Netflix and Amazon accounts, etc... Does the ROKU solve this problem in that I can go through the ROKU player to access streaming capabilities through my wifi connection/TV where in the past I could not directly through the TV. Am I correct in saying this?
No, it sounds like the problem is your internet bandwidth, I have a Samsung and a Vizio and both stream fine, I have a Roku on my Vizio. Samsung streams thru the T.V. Just fine

Will Roku 4 stream Vudu movies?

Yes it does, I use VUDU as my main movie hub, I wish Apple TV had the VUDU app, I would get rid of my Roku 4, I've had nothing but problems, I'm on my second unit, Bestbuy was kind enough to swap the original purchased Roku

In Roku's website, Roku 4 specification shows "Up-scales 720p to 1080p HD on 1080p HD and 4K UHD TVs". What Does it mean?

Does it mean it can convert 720p video into 1080p?
Yea it does, it provides the best quality possible, but in order to watch 4K, source has to be 4K, second if you have not bought it yet, I don't recommend you do, I've had nothing but problems with my Roku 4. I'm on my second unit and I wish I could return it for a refund.

More HDMI components than HDMI inputs on TV

I have 3 components requiring HDMI inputs on my TV for best quality picture. However, my TV has only 2 inputs. Is there a splitter or an accessory that I can buy to help with this?
Yes use a splitter, I found one at Lowes of all places.

how to play videos on your iphone 6 or ipad mini on your infiniti 2014 QX56 ?

You don't need anything to play the videos on your iPhone or iPad as long as they are downloaded or you have cellular connection to stream. If you are asking how to get your audio thru your vehicles speakers, use Bluetooth connection, if you want the video to stream to the vehicles screens, best way is a custom install. Hope this helps.

After 4 to 5 months, streaming having issue

I am using this Chromecast , but after 4 to 5 months video streaming is getting stuck & could not use it.

I HAVE NOT PURCHASED FROM BESTBUY.
My original Chromecast was having issues, lost streaming of some apps, no audio, rebooting fixed it. If your TV is not powering your Chromecast just reboot. I reboot my Chromecast every 2 weeks, just takes a few minutes, disconnect power supply, wait minute and restart, have not had any issues.
