Do the speakers play well with a Roku streaming device as well as a Dish hooked to the tv also? Is there any other component needed?

I do not use either Roku or Dish network but it will work fine because it is not depend on any other component you use. it uses audio out of TV (I use optical out) for an input. So it is not depend on what is your picture source. All the components you need come with the box.

Yes. I use both Dish and Roku and they work great. Decent sounding speakers as well.

Hello- Yes, you would need a home stereo receiver to work with this speaker system, you can not hook them directly to your tv. With the receiver, they should be louder, and much better sound quality, than what you get with your TV's built in speakers. Good luck-

Yes that is what it is designed for. If your dish receiver has optical out I would recommend buying an optical cable to use with the soundbar otherwise you can use aux cable that it comes with

Mine registers my wii and dvd player well. I don't know about speakers alone, my surround sound is connected differently. I have to unplug the power cable for the little white box and replug it back in each time i want to use it, for some reason it wont register if i dont. But i have never had connection problems besides that. I have a vizio smart led tv and i connected the box to a hdmi cable and then to the tv. For the price its a decent find. If the price ever goes up though I wouldn't buy since i do have to replug it every time i use it.

I connected to a receiver which is run to the TV. Also had to buy a center speaker and woofer to complete the surround sound system.

Yes I hooked an optical out to my main Killer speaker system and can play the speaker in the TV at the same time but, The speakers that come with the TV are just average.

I used an audio receiver with capable surround sound. Connected tv with digital audio cable. Bought a powered sub-woofer. Great sound. So happy with price vs performance.

You DO NEED a reciever to deliver the signal to the individual hookups (R, L, center, surround ) They are passive speakers that connected via speaker wire.There is NO HDMI

The problem probably isn't with the T V. I would ask for a replacement for the HD cable box. If you have cable, they will most likely charge you for the switch, Dish does not. I like the T V, but the sound quality sucks. I could add a inexpensive sound bar, but I only use it for awhile, at night, as a bedroom set. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!

No receiver is required, just hook up your devices as you would with HDMI cables. Then just run and optical cable from the TV and the soundbar and your good to go.

Hi Don Not sure about the WiFi speaker, but I have connected a set of computer speakers to the headphone jack of the TV and that works quite well. Sounds a lot better with some bass. Walt

I use a Roku, Apple TV, etc. and connect them all to the TV with an HDMI cable, then let the pass through to the receiver handle the rest. Just remember you can shut off the TV speakers and run surround only if you'd like. There's a button for that on the remote. In my case, I paired this with s 6500 series Samsung TV, so the remote can handle both, which is convenient. Great receiver / DVD unit for the money.

I used a Vizio S3820w-CO for a few days until my digital optical converter came in and there were NO issues at all. The sound bar did sound better than the TV speakers, which are also not that bad at all. I needed the converter because the Samsung will not accept RCA type plugs for the audio output.

The top end roku player allows you to plug in USB drives.. you can then stream music , images, videos from that.

Better yet, don't get a Roku if you utilise profiles. RCA streamer MAY be worth looking at. But there's a Sony one too. NeoTV is great for the service, but I don't use without connecting directly.

Yes you can, however I have not used this feature, it's too cumbersome. I have mine attached to my main TV which is a LG Smart TV which already has streaming and is much easier to use. If I were doing it today I would buy a sound bar, and maybe a sub, CD's, DVD' and Blue Ray's are on the way out. My non smart TV I use a ROKU box, much easier to use.
