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 your Sharp Roku 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.
Your your Sharp Roku TV lets you choose from thousands of streaming channels that offer a huge selection of
entertainment:
• Thousands of movies and TV episodes
• Unlimited music, live and on-demand
• Tons of live and on-demand sports
• Commercial-free kids programming
• International programming in 22 languages
• 24x7 news and in-depth news commentary
Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels, like Cineplex and Amazon Instant Video, let you purchase or
rent the latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels such as Netflix or Spotify charge a monthly subscription
fee and others are free if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider. For example, HBO
subscribers with participating broadcast TV provider accounts can add the HBO Go channel and watch it for free.
If you have an existing subscription to a service like Netflix or Spotify, you can just sign in with your existing user name and
password.
