I had this genius idea to buy this ROKU tv thinking that if we wanted to use the built in streaming capabiolities

Hi micro,

Yes, we have a ‘smart’ 4K tv that does its own streaming. We use this feature. We also have a Blu-ray player that does streaming and a separate Roku gadget. I want to try these on Hulu to see if they work better.

We have ‘cut the cord’, only receiving 90 or so stations over the antenna, and using Sling for ESPN, HGTV, etc. Also Amazon Prime and CBS All access for individual shows. All for about 1/2 the price of Dish.

I can’t imagine Hulu needs more bandwidth than these other services. And it locks up, saying ‘Program Unavailable’ or something similar. I may decide Hulu is more trouble than it is worth.

Have a great week,

nacl

Hi nacl!

I just happened to be reading about that subject earlier today before you posted that which is why it caught my attention. I was actually lookingh at some higher bandwisth wireles AC routers and their recommendations.

I cannot explain HuLU 's being the only bottleneck for the streaming except that maybe it simply requires more throughput. A DIR-882 EXO 2600 D-Link AC wireless router would more than double your bandwidth in transmission and would likely solve any buffering issues.

Just a suggestion if you feel like messing around with it.

I have spent my evening replacing a Television set for my wife.

So I had this genius idea to buy this ROKU tv thinking that if we wanted to use the built in streaming capabiolities it had a Roku built into it. Of course, you have to set up your roku account, password for your wireles network, etc...

But I really did not want to do any of that. I preferred to use it as a normal Cable television set and only got the Roku part in case we ever wanted to say goodbye to our cable.

I am finally after 2 hours hgetting around to solve some of the annoying things I wish I had just stick with a plain old LED 1080P t.v. Grrrrrrrr....

I do wish you well and hope that sometime you may get your Hulu streaming working well for you.....

My Best Wishes,

micro...
