One can connect the roku via wired or wirelessly, and the better answer is wired but that depends upon your home wiring and hi tech desires.

You can also take the app on you tablet with you. . .

So tv cable boxes are the next buggy whips and typewriters. You can check my posting on building a hi tech smart house here in the villages. BTW, there is no "phone" connection in our house anywhere. Buy a magic jack for a phone if you don't have a cell phone

You don't need a smart TV. As long as you have an extra HDMI input, you can just plug in a 50 dollar Roku stick and any TV will function just like a smart TV.
