We have Directv in the LR and MBR but the cable outlet in the guest bedroom is used for Comcast internet.Until last year you could split the outlet and run a cable to the TV and get HDTV for free.No more free HDTV.
I could add a wireless Directv box($6.50 per month and $99 install) but want to look at a Roku box,one time cost $60.The guest bedroom TV is next to the Comcast gateway,so I can wire the internet connection.
Is any one using a Roku box with a Directv account?
I am pretty sure I can get ESPN and some cable channels on the box with my Directv account.
Are any local channels available?
Looking for advice from users with a Roku box and a Directv account.
Thank you.
