With Netflix you can watch on 2 diff devices. Hulu & amazon, one device. However, with a wireless video jumper you can use one device to view content on multiple TVs. These jumpers date back to the early 90s and are reasonably affordable. They don't transmit the IR signal from the remote control but with a phone app on a smartphone, it isn't a problem.

Thank you for the answer I needed. This is fine I will still enjoy my Roku's.

I own 3 Roku's, One for each TV in the house. I have one Netflix account, Hulu account, and Amazon account that can be viewed on each one. There currently is no reasonable way to share one Roku among multiple TV's and get them to play different content. You could probably cobble something up and get one Roku to play the same thing on multiple TV's. You do not have to log out of a Hulu account on one Roku to log into Hulu on another Roku. Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix have restriction on how many devices can play their content at once. Netflix is 2, Amazon and Hulu it is 1. You can log into and save the login information automatically to all three. Watch something, end it, and within a few minutes you should be able to go to another Roku or any device and watch something else from the same provider. You do not need to login and log out as you move from device to device. Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix know when you have stopped watching a movie (usually within a few minutes) and it will keep track of that and simply bar you from watching on another device that you are already logged in on or let you watch it. You only need to log in once.

My question is similar to the above re multiple TVs. I have a home in town and a out of town cabin. Can I have Roku's in each residence and use the same Netflix, Amazon or Hulu accounts on both Rokus?

if you had 3 tvs and you wanted every tv to have a Roku you HAVE to have multi rokus

I have the same question:Can I watch a show from a different TV in my house other than this device is connected?I guess the answer is no. So if the device is connected to the TV in the living room I will not be able to continue to watch a movie in my bedroom unless I purchase another Roku and connect it to the TV in the bedroom. Correct?

There are 2 TVs in the same house beaming off the same broadband, TV # 1 has a Roku with a subscription to Nexflex, TV #2 has a Roku with no Nexflex subscripting, my question is as follows, is it possible that TV #2 can tap into TV #1 Nexflex subscription ?

No amplifier needed for just one TV. If you hook up more than one TV, then yes you would need an amplifier.

Roku worked well with anything over 6Megs, in my house with up to 4 players going. I have upgraded to 12 megs, and see no quality difference, just able to run more items in the background without any pauses.

You would only need one if your audio source is optical. I needed one just because my TV only has an optical audio output.

Buy the bigger kit. I believe that allows more than one additional tv to be connected. I think it's a big price jump to though. How many tvs are you trying to connect to one source.

A Roku box is unnecessary, according to my relative who received this TV from me as gift. last year we gave him the Roku box for use with his old set, so I believe he knows from personal experience. Can't help with the how to part. Sorry.

We use more than 2 devices. Sometimes the internet is slow, but for the most part we don't have a problem with using 2 tablets and the roku at the same time.

I don't know about needing more or different ones. I have an older TV so I just used the cables that were sent with it. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

do you pay to watch all these stations that roku allows? Do you need Wi-Fi to use the roku?\

Hi. On a regular basis, I have 3 smartphones, 3 i-pod touch's, 2 ROKU sticks, 1 chromecast, and 3 laptops hooked up and have no problems. It has more to do with your internet speed (I have 30 Mbps). I would recommend this.

You can use one, you just set up and save a setup for each house,You can download a preset up remote someone has made or make your own,It was pretty easy to do

You can use one for both. Unless you have the same TV at both houses, you will probably have to create different remote pages in the app.

No and if you want 3 tvs you need 3 xboxs. It also takes a lot of room, I built a cart with locking wheels so I can move it around. It is a lot of fun.

No, though you may want more than 1. I have a 55" TV and have a single strip running across the middle of it. While that "works," it's not as bright as I would like it to be and I would probably put a 2nd strip on it, locating one across the bottom and the other across the top. You definitely should not need 4 of them.

The other poster is right...Netflix and Hulu are the reasons to get a Roku... There are tons of channels yes, which in aggregate along with NF and H+ make it quite an entertainment value. Some of the channels I use quite often, but w/o the two paid channels its not worth it. That's not Roku's fault at all, but rather if content providers have something you would want, 9 times out of ten they're not just going to give it away
