Best Limitations for Roku Media Player
Cable cutters undoubtedly reduce your
expenses, but they do not provide you with the facility
of watching all your favorite shows
through a specific medium. So rather than using Cable Cutters, you can go for the option of Smart TV and Roku is one of
them. On Roku, you can watch all your favorite movies and other shows following your
choice at a very limited cost.
If you are using Roku Smart TV, then you are not required to
make any payments to cable companies to access any premium application. But,
there are certain factors and drawbacks you should focus on when using Roku.
One of the major drawbacks is a compromise
in content, some of the channels supported
by Roku (like sports channel), do not can stream
over the Roku Smart TV. If we talk about Apple, then Apple-Smart TV supports
more than one channel of a single module (such as ABC), but it is not possible when you are using Roku TV. In
Sony Smart TV, there are multiple special services provided to their customers
like play station and again in Roku,
there is no support for these services.
Though, if we ignore the fact
that content gets compromised in Roku, it is very easy for you to access the
services provided by Roku to their customers. But, if you are a subscriber of Comcast, then you might not able to access few of the channels, as Roku does not support, ignoring
the fact that you have paid for services.
Roku enables
you to access a number of streaming services that consist of Amazon, HBO-GO, HULU, Netflix etc.
There are
many other smart TV’s available on the
market such as Sony, LG, Apple, Samsung and many more. These smart TV’s have
very limited support in terms of searching, but, you will not encounter these types
of problems in Roku. If you search for “Robin Williams”, numerous videos will
get displayed on your screen of the “late comedian” and it is very easy for you
to stream these videos and can also check out
the cost acquired for accessing multiple services.
Tunes are available on Roku smart TV, through which you can easily have access on
multiple TV shows in HD quality from multiple channels like ABC, FOX, CBS and many more,
all you require is Antenna attached to your device. You can have access to it in a single click through the home screen. External devices “digital video
recorder, blue ray video, cable box” having its own
tiles on the home screen which can
be accessed easily.
Some modifications are necessary to be
introduced in Roku, such as – there must
be the availability of TV listing in Roku, it should also have support to “single
button access” for searching via Remote. In Samsung,
the search can be done through
voice command, this can be done in Roku, but not efficient enough as multiple clicks are
needed. TCL and HI-sense Model of Roku compromise the picture quality.
After ignoring few of its drawback mentioned above, it can be said
that Roku is moving towards a great
success.

Roku Stick: The Best You Can Get In The Market Today!
Despite being into the
market for two years, Roku Stick is still the
fascinating streaming device and a lot has to do with the pricing of the
product. Roku Stick is packed with many amazing features and is also priced
less, which makes it a lucrative product for entertainment seekers.
Roku boxes are and have
always been the best in the business. These devices have always been best for
streaming media and security thanks to Roku Com Link. These are fast, simple to
use and have a monolithic yet spell bounding interface for the users to use.
They support almost every
media app ever made. They are equal in support and unlike others, they do not
push other platforms more than one. You can also beef up the security to avoid
credit card frauds by going to www Roku com link, which is the official link of the company.
The only thing degraded in
Roku was its stick. Roku stick had the same interface as of Roku itself as
shown on Roku’s official website. However since it had to push all the pixels
and drive the interface, it was a bit clumsy. It didn’t have enough hardware to
support the software. It was one of the biggest downfalls while the one of Roku was of its inherent USP.
Recently, a newer revamped
version of the stick is launched as mentioned by Roku help. Roku stick is now in direct competition with other big
devices including Apple TV and Roku 4 itself. It still has a small form factor
like a pen drive or a dongle. It has a quad-core
processor now which is only given in flagship Roku 4. You can check a detailed
spec sheet of Roku dongle and Roku 4 by logging onto www Roku com support.
It also comes with a Wi-Fi
enabled remote control and Roku link
code. It has Roku OS7.1 included inside it. This is why it supports
universal search and majority of apps. It stands as the best streamer available
in the market now. It can be powered by multiple alternatives after Roku account setup.
We can stick it into USB
of TV and power it for Roku setup.
Or we can power it using a power brick.
It is fastest among all sticks in boot up time. Besides, it is a Roku. Largest catalog of channels and endless streaming
services.
It does not have an
Ethernet connection. It has a dual-band
supporting Wi-Fi so it is fast. However,
there are some lags but they are even seen in Roku 4. YouTube app lags. It lags
in every Roku device. It is an app issue. Hardware is similar to Roku 4 and it
does not have to push enough pixels like it.
Roku 4 is a 4K device
while Roku stick is a 1080p device so surely it is given an overpowered
hardware. It is future proof for sure. Looking at the price point, this device
costs a mere 50$. Roku app is also a major upgrade.
Users can install the app on their smartphone
and enjoy private listening. Since Roku stick’s remote does not have an audio
port, private listening needs to be done by a smartphone
app. It is also seamless and has no latency.
It does not have iTunes
support. iTunes has been locked to Apple TV by Apple
itself. Since it does not support playing local media files Kodi app is missing
along with google play music. Except that, you can find almost every app here
on Roku.
