Roku options confusing!
I'm going to give y'all the specs, and ask that someone match what we have, with what will work best for us please? I've checked and checked with Roku, Best Buy, all the advertising and tech websites and they all tell you all the great things each model will do - but none of them will let you use the process of elimination to select the right one that will actually work for your older TV.
So here's what I need:
LIVE ABC, CBS, NBC. Just plain old normal network TV.
I also need the Golf Channel
Would love whatever other channels are available without having to pay a subscription fee.
I shouldn't have to pay for network TV at all, but I accept that spouse wants his Golf Channel and that means we have to buy a device.
I also know that ROKU has a whole bunch of things that MIGHT work, but I can't figure out if any WILL work.
Our TV: Insignia NS-46E790A12
Discontinued
46" HDTV with 1080 display and 120hz.
TruSurround HD sound system built in.
40,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
400 cd/m2 high brightness.
3 HDMI inputs, 1 PC input, 1 component video input, and one composite input.
1 analog audio output, 1 optical digital audio output, and 1 headphone jack.
A USB port (older USB)
We have xfinity wifi at I believe 100mbps, with enough range and power to handle the entire inside of the house, the lanai, the carport, the shed, the neighbor's carport, and the back yard.
We -might- have to turn the printer off if we have the TV on, since the router can only handle 5 devices at once. But we're okay with that.
I'll add: at some point we'll probably want to add Netflix, or HBO, or other pay channels but for now just having a TV would be great. Spouse is watching DVDs and he's already gone through all the ones we own a few times. I feel so bad for him! Will probably pick something up during the black friday specials. Our budget is extremely limited.
