I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    How does it stream things/what’s the point of a Roku if it’s not connected to the Internet?

      I feel like I’m explaining how you use a screen without touching it. Is this what it’s like to be old?

      You use HDMI. There are ports on the side of the device that allow video input from devices like computers and Xboxes. I use my computer and Xbox to watch Youtube and TV shows.

      If you’re asking why I have a smart TV instead of a dumb TV, that’s because we live in 2023 and finding a TV without a wifi adapter is like finding a phone without a blighted notch

        Ah, for some reason I thought you were referring to a Roku stick/box, not a smart TV, my mistake 👍.

      It will still be connected to the Internet via the HDMI cord.

        I’m unaware of any widely adopted use of HEC. Certainly none of the modern consoles use HEC, and I don’t think my smart TV is compatible with it either
