What is streaming?
Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the Internet, or located on a network-connected
media server or on a USB device plugged into the TV’s USB port.
With streaming, you can watch most programs on demand, when it’s convenient for you. When streaming, you can play,
pause, rewind, and fast forward whatever you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn on closed
captions.
Tip:
Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live programming or a program that is
supported by ads, you generally are not allowed to skip the ads.
Your TV lets you choose from over 3,000 streaming channels that offer a huge selection of entertainment:
• Over 300,000 movies and TV episodes
• Unlimited music, live and on-demand
• Tons of live and on-demand sports
• Commercial-free kids programming
• International language programming in 22 languages
• 24x7 news and in-depth news commentary
• Games
Most streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels like Amazon Instant Video, Redbox Instant, and VUDU, let you
purchase or rent the latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels such as Netflix or Hulu Plus charge a monthly
subscription fee. Some channels are free if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider. For
example, HBO subscribers with participating TV providers can add the HBO Go channel and watch it for free.
If you have an existing subscription to a service like Netflix or Hulu Plus, or if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can just
sign in with your existing user name and password.
--------------------------------------------------------
* Subscriptions or other payments may be required to access content on certain channels. For example, Netflix requires a paid
subscription, which gives you access to movie and TV show titles in the Netflix streaming catalog. Some channels may not be
available to all households in every market or in all countries where Roku players or other products with the Roku platform are
sold.
