A Roku3 is connected to my TV via HDMI so to connect this box to my TV would I need to disconnect my Roku? Is there a way to connect both to my TV?

If your TV is equipped with both HDMI and rca inputs for audio (red and white inputs) and video (yellow input), then you can have both hooked up simultaneously and choose between via Source selection on your TV remote

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

For inputs, the ROKU 2 has an Ethernet port and a USB port. For outputs, it has an HDMI port and a pin jack. The ROKU 2 comes with a pin plug that terminates into 3 RCA plugs, a yellow for video, and a red and a white for the audio. This allows the ROKU 2 to work with a TV that does not have an HDMI input. If your set has an HDMI input, I would heartily recommend purchasing the ROKU 3 instead. Hope this information helps.

Just to clarify, this Roku box connects to WiFi only, not to your cable box or cable coaxial from the wall. Your TV will have to have at least two separate inputs. Your cable will be accessed through one video input, and the Roku through a second video input. You will switch between video inputs on your TV depending on which programming source you want to watch (cable or Roku).

I'm not sure - I only tested the Roku scenario. I can tell you that the 'box' has rca output [only] jacks the the HDMI is input [only]. In other words your source has to be feeding you something from hdmi and your destination has to be able to receive rca inputs. So, for me I have the new Roku that had only an HDMI on the back of the Roku. But my old tv only had rca input jacks in the back. This special box allowed me to bridge that gap. Hope this info helped. Kevin

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?

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv

I use a Roku on mine for Amazon/Netflix... It connects into one of the HDMI ports. Works great!

I'm waiting on my roku, so take this advice with a grain of salt. From what I've read on the reviews, it seems that you can hook it up via A/V RCA cables, so no HDMI is required if you have a SD TV. A lot of folks on here seem to have SD TV setups, so I think HDMI is an option not a requirement.

Hi Sara. No, you will just connect the Roku to (1) your home internet via a wireless internet connection and (2) your tv. Everything the Roku supports such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc. streams thru the roku to the tv. Hope this helps.

Although I have not tried it yet my self, yes- you are supposed to be able to do this according to Roku box & manual.

If the televisions aren't too far apart you can split the signal coming out of the Roku and run it to two televisions but they would be showing the same thing. I have a friend that has an older model that has both HDMI and analog outputs, both of which are apparently hot. He has the HDMI output going to the television in the living room and ran a long analog cable to a television in the kitchen. If you are using a newer Roku with HDMI output only you could try an HDMI splitter but I'm not sure how well those work. I'm don't know how you could do it without running a physical cable to both televisions.

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

Dear Mary O.. One more thing I forgot to mention, if your cable box is connected via an HDMI cable make sure you pick HDMI for an input, not CABLE as these are two different connectors..
