Jib Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share 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.

jendobyns Posted November 14, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
