I use the HDMI cable to connect Roku to the tv, correct? does this connect to my WiFi as well?

This is a direct connection between your device and your television. This isn't a wireless HDMI connection... if that's what you're looking for.Roku will connect through your WiFi network but you'll still need the HDMI cable to run a signal from the Roku to the TV.

I'm technically challenged, so I hope my response makes sense. I used the HDMI cable to hook up my TV and Roku. I then followed the instructions I received with the Roku to sync up with my WiFi. The instructions were easy, and there were no additional cables required. Hope this helps :)

Correct, hdmi passes signal from roku to tv, wifi passes data from the internet to the rocky box

HDMI has nothing to do with WiFi, that's a wireless connection to your home internet network. These are great HDMI cables.

No. I connect my Roku to the TV. You use a different cord or wireless through your routor.

The ROKU 2 HD comes with a composite (R,Y,W) cable... if you want to watch in HD you will need to purchase a separate HDMI cable.I wonder if there is a HDMI hub where multiple HDMI devices can be connected to one port on your TV.

No, it connects by included cord-- round with prong in the center -- to the ANTENNA IN (CABLE IN) input on the back of the TV. HDMI outlets remain free & available for your components (Roku, Wii, etc.)

can you still use your tv to watch regular cable channels while the roku is connected

Im not sure I can be very helpful, I am not tech savvy. I first had the Roku angry birds edition, then recently purchased the bundle in question. With both Rokus I purchased a high def cable and connected the Roku to the televisions with that. Then I just plugged the Rokus in to the wall. I have a wireless modem, perhaps that makes the difference? The only connection with my ethernet cable is from my internet oultet in the wall to my router. Im sorry if that doesnt help much. Wireless routers are very inexpensive and make life so much easier. My son has multiple video games, we have a few tablets and laptops, our phones and touch screen compter, and printer all run very well with the router, plus no cords lol. Best of luck, I hope you can enjoy your Roku soon! Susan

are you talking about using your wifi for your blu-ray and your tv.i don't see why not.i run 2 roku and a computer off of my wifi.the tv channel wifi and the blu-ray should come through on different channels.

Roku has only one HDMI plug. So it can only connect one HDMI cable to TV. I suggested you connect one TV to roku and another to XBOX :-P

Connect the soundbar to the HDTV using the optical cable. Anything playing on the TV will use the soundbar as the output. You will need 2 HDMI cables to connect the ROKU and your cable box. Helps?

Sorry, no idea. I am connecting to a Rasberry Pi which only outputs HDMI. I use this to strip the sound off of the Rasberry Pi that has the Squeezeplug software installed. If the Roku ouputs HDMI and you only need sound which you want to use as input into receiver as analog, then it will likely work.

I'm confused...do you not need a wireless connection to use your Roku player? I have one and it has to be able to connect wirelessly. You would still need a wireless router. A switch is used to connect different devices to the same network.

It does not have WiFi built into the TV but does have an HDMI port for connecting any device that streams (like a ROKU device.). If you get an external box, just makes sure it streams Amazon Instant Video.

hi lawrence,i have the roku 3. this cable will not work with your setup. no roku has component ports. your hdtv doesn't have an hdmi input? if that's NOT the case, buy a standard hdmi cable and connect the hdmi port on your roku to the hdmi input on your hdtv. if u DON'T have an hdmi input on our hdtv, you need an HDMI to component cable (2nd best option. they have some on amazon & elsewhere) or an HDMI to composite cable (3rd best option. also on amazon & elsewhere). i hope this helps!- andrew

While I don't have a Roku device, the HDMI cables do work on other devices (TV, computer, DVD), so I don't see why they wouldn't work with a Roku box.

I am using this with a Roku XD in the kitchen and its working great, just need an HDMI cable. (TV only has one HDMI input)

No. The Roku will work hardwired to the router, but the current speed of it is not ideal for gaming purposes.

You shouldn't need that...here is how I have mine connected. - I have a Comcast cable modem. - I connect my Airport wireless router directly to the cable modem. - I do have hard wired ethernet to connect this switch to my Airport Express (I have cabling running between my office and living room). - I then have the switch tucked behind my TV (connected via Ethernet). - Then, all of my devices are plugged directly into this switch - TV, Denon A/V home theater, Xbox, Tivo. I believe your Roku should be connected directly to your TV via HDMI or composite/audio cable combination. Hope that helps!
