    What you need

    To use Roku, you need a high-speed Internet connection with a speed of at least 1.2 Mbps (such as mid-level DSL). For HD video, we recommend 5 Mbps (if you're not sure what your speed is, go to Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test and run the simple test). You may also need a wireless or wired router if you cannot connect Roku directly to your cable or DSL modem. Oh yeah, you also need a TV.
    **The product on this page can use an HDMI cable to transmit both video and audio to your home entertainment system. However, An HDMI cable is not included in the purchase price.
