Thank you both very much. It's frustrating that Samsung won't allow the SlingTv app for their OS. Or whatever the reason is.

Thanks, Kane. What is the difference between the premieres, ultras, etc., and the series of Roku 1, 2, 3, and 4? I noticed the Roku 4 is cheaper than the Premiere+ and Ultra is why I ask. Maybe it's an older line?

I'm just curious why there are an incredible amount of Roku devices out there? Let me go through the list of what I found on Amazon: Roku Express Roku Streaming Stick Roku Premiere Roku Premiere+ Roku Ultra (The 5 listed above are always compared together) Roku 1 Roku 2 Roku 3 Roku 4 (This is...

Well, that was simple enough, lol. Thank you very much for the quick reply. I am reading up on it now!

Hello, Is it possible to use a raspberry Pi 3 as a gaming emulator (NES, SNES) AND Kodi streaming device? I've searched a bit, and found some complex details on how to run 2 OS and a bootloader to pick from, and it seemed even more complicated than that. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

kanewolf, thank you for sharing that. I'll be going with the Roku 3 device for Ethernet connection and streaming Sling, Netflix, etc.

Well, not going the RPi router. You have to pay for an additional service in order to be able to stream Netflix? Joke. Also, not sure if you can get slingTV on a RPi. I was reading maybe if you are able to install Android OS, you can, but I haven't seen anyone confirm this. Bummer. I might be...

Good point, and that is one reason I was considering turning a raspberry pi into a wired streaming device as they already have Ethernet ports built in (wifi adapters are like $15+). Any idea on the total cost of doing that?

I am upgrading some devices in our home for faster speeds (especially wifi) as we are switching to Sling TV and will be streaming on several devices, simultaneously and often. I just purchased this 802.11ac router: ASUS RT-AC68U. My question is, what is the best/cheapest device for app...

Yeah, my current TV is an older Insignia 1080p 50", so I'm thinking it will be a huge improvement there, lol. I really appreciate both of your responses and input on this!

Strange, the UN55KU6290FXZA model is not showing under reviews at rtings.com.

Well, the problem with that is that I'm on a budget. The 55" Samsung I was looking at with HDR is $1,000, and that's a Black Friday price. I simply can't afford that, but that TV does look amazing. My idea was, since 4k media isn't common right now, to get a cheaper 4k TV just to take advantage...

I am looking to buy just an entry level 4k TV, but still want a name brand TV with good features. I have 3 TVs picked out, but can't decide on one. What are the differences between these 2 Samsungs (you can click on each one to access the Best Buy link): UN55KU6290FXZA ($550) and UN55KU6300FXZA...

Thanks americanaudophile!

I am having some weird issues with my Insignia HDTV: DVD player works on port 1 & 3 Chromecast only works on port 1 The HDMI port on my Charter cable box doesn't work on any port or on 2 different working TVs This happened all of a sudden. Is it possible that a storm caused some of the HDMI...
