Jib Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 A Roku Box allows you to use your TV to function as your computer without hooking the computer directly to your TV. That way you can watch downloads from the comfort of your living room if your computer is in a different location in your dwelling. That is over simplified but it allows you to avoid running cables or keeping both pieces of hardware in the same spot. For myself we have our computer in the guest bedroom. It would be nice to watch downloads in the living room without bothering guests and running cables that trip clumsy pirates and large dogs.
Cascabel Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks !!! I had never heard of such as that...... I guess I don't keep up with the latest in electronic gadgetry.
peglegstrick Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 The only time I'd heard of a Ruku....it was a Japanese copy of a Harley-Davidson 45ci flathead they copied after WWII....no that was a Rikuo.....my bad.....
Jib Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks !!! I had never heard of such as that...... I guess I don't keep up with the latest in electronic gadgetry. Nor I which is why I need HELP!
jendobyns Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 We have one, but we also have wireless internet and satellite TV, and the other half does all the technical stuff. I have to say it's been great so far. Haven't tried to run it from the computer yet, though.
hitman Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I don't have one but it is the consensus choice on the TWIT network as well as Revision 3. Personally I have always found their advice dead on. THIS BE THE HITMAN WE GOIN QUIET
