“What is Roku” you may be asking? Roku is a little black box that connects to your house net network permitting you to watch your favorite Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video shows right on your TV. Not to mention you can stream big variety of radio and music stations like Pandora. The Roku connects directly to your TV and can be connected by an ethernet wire directly into your house modem or web router.
