I have two TV'S. One is a SMART TV,with Samsungs' pre-installed APPS, but this TV is already connected to a NETWORK, so i don't need it on this one.
I have my second TV, (DUMB, NOT SMART, LAN ready,) in a bedroom. It does not have the TWC app, but it is connected to an APPLE TV DEVICE. I will need to disconnect the APPLE TV thingie, and use either the ROKU 2-4210, or the ROKU3-4210, in order to watch cable, on this second TV.
Has anyone acheived this method with great results, or is it still, a hit and a miss?
I need to get cable in this bedroom, using the ROKU, (or something like Amazon firestick, or the GOOGLE chrome) and connected 70' feet away using Cat5e Cable, into my main internet router, at the other end of the house..
I've been hearing complaints on the boards about the difficulty with the TWC APPS....
Another workaround, if i don't care seeing the cable in the house, I could maybe connect a 30' Cat5e from my wi-fi access point, about 30 feet away. This Wi-Fi extender is in the kitchen, facing both TV's. One in the bedroom, and the main licingroom TV.
But Roku told me the BETTER connection, would be to run the longer Cat5e from router, under the raised house, and into the Roku's LAN input.
Does this make any sense? Will I be able to watch CNN, or ABC, NBC, etc., using Roku2, or 3, without any issues, on my second TV?
Thank you! Jim
