-====== Roku ====== +~~REDIRECT>app:roku~~
-<lead>If you have a Roku device that is running Roku firmware version 9.0 or later, you can use the HDHomeRun Roku app to access your HDHomeRun tuner and playback DVR content.</lead> +
- +
-Your Roku needs to have a reliable internet connection, either via wired ethernet or a strong wireless connection (preferably using 802.11ac on a 5GHz bandwidth). The app does not work outside of your home network, and the Roku needs to be connected to the same local network as HDHomeRun tuner. The app also cannot be used to schedule recordings at this time.  +

-===== Live TV and DVR viewing-only notice ===== +
-<WRAP important 100%> +
- +
-  * Only live over the air TV is supported at present. The HDHomeRun PRIME is not currently officially supported in this release, but we are working to add support, and it likely will work with most cable providers outside of Comcast, as long as the channels are not DRM protected. +
- +
-  * DVR playback is now available on Roku devices. However, DVR scheduling and recording must be done on another device, such as an iOS mobile device, Android device, or PC.  +
- +
-  * To hear audio, you need a TV, AV receiver, or soundbar that can decode Dolby Digital or AC3 audio over HDMI. Most modern TVs can do this, though we’ve noticed a few Samsung TVs cannot. All Roku televisions should be able to play audio without any trouble. +
- +
-  * Support is limited to those Roku devices that have been updated to support MPEG-2 with Firmware version 9.0 or above. +
