I have 3 tv's. Does each one have to have it's own roku?

Yes. The device can only provide service to one TV at a time. However, due to its small size, it is quite easy to move from one TV to the next (especially if you have an HDMI cable ready and waiting at each TV).

Just one TV you need to get an aftermarket amplified splitter for multiple TV's. Yes you get local free programs with better clarity then cable.

As I recall, you have to subscribe to have any access to the machine. I bought a Roku 3 and use it the way you describe.

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!

It has an standard Jack. So I assume if the Roku 3 has a standard Jack it will work.

I assume it does, I get netflix and other things from my blu-ray player but I see no reason why not. Though I don't know what a roku stick is, I'm assuming you mean their box. That's the best I can do.

i have 6 tv's, i will need a unit for each. "Question" do I have to pay extra for more than one unit?

no you cannot, you can only control the receiver with the included remote. You would need a universal remote to control everything with one remote; however, there are no universal remotes at the moment that will control the Roku. . so even in your best case scenario you will need at least two because the Roku remote does not control volume at all. (I wish I had known this before I purchased everything for my new setup, seems to be a design fail)

I am not an expert, but according to the roku charts - the roku 3 can only be used with HD tvs and the roku 2 can be used with any tvs.

You can watch different shows on each Roku. And, when I send the kids to grandma's with theirs, it plugs right into her tv and works with my mom's WiFi.

While the Roku 3 will fit in the amount, it DOES NOT allow for access to all ports. I don't know about the Roku 1 or 2.

No, it functions the same as a normal roku player. The difference is with the stick you can use your tv remote to control the device. However your tv must have a MHL/HDMI port. A standard HDMI will not allow it to work as intended. If that is the case then you would want to get the standard roku 3 player.

This stick can be used in place of the ROKU 3, but you must have a TV with a MHL port: See list for models http://www.mhlconsortium.org/productlist/display-devices/ . The Roku 3 has separate power cord and inputs for all televisions.

Yes, the tv has to be Roku ready and no special remote is required. Its super easy to use!

I'm not sure because roku 3is a upgraded version but you can call roku and ask them directly

Roku 3 comes with a remote. You don't need to buy one until your toddler hides it!

I'm not sure if the order really matters. You can play around with that though. One thing to know is that the Roku box is an always-on device. The switch is supposed to automatically go to the device that's on. It typically senses when I turn on the Blu-ray player or the Apple TV box and goes to those, even though a Roku box is also plugged in. You might have to use the remote from time to time. I don't find that to be too big a deal though.
