Hello

Just follow these steps to stream movies from my computer to my Roku:
1. Add the Plex channel to your Roku.
2. Download and install the plex media server utility for windows. This is the software that'll link your media library to your box.
3. Right-click the plex media server icon in your system tray, then choose media manager. That should open a new tab in your browser, which is where you'll set up the media you want to share with your Roku. It may take a minute or two before any options appear, so be patient.
4. Eventually you'll see five options for adding media to your library. The process is the same for all, so click one (say, photos), then click add and navigate to the folder containing the photos you want to add. Click add again if you want to include additional folders.
5. When you've finished making your selections, click add section. Again, it may take a minute or two for your media to appear in the browser tab.
6. Now head to your TV, fire up the Roku, and choose the plex channel. You should see your selected media channels, which you can now browse and view as you like.

SOURCE: I like to program in my Roku box for streaming

You can download the software to program your remote from the site below.

When adding devices, the Roku is listed under Satellite Receivers. I have a Harmony 880 and recently programmed it to add a Roku.

What internet speed do i need for Netflix?

Hello Friend

According to Netflix, for streaming a movie, you need somewhere between .7 Mbps to 5.3 Mbps. High quality audio and video will require more bandwidth or speed in order to stream properly. Based on Netflix calculations, for the best quality streaming Hi-Definition (HD) video, you'd need more than the basic 4 Mbps down.

How do I get my Roku to turn on?

Hello Dear

Roku streaming players are low-power devices that are designed to remain on and always connected to the internet. There is no "power button" to press on or off. This easy-to-use design prevents confusion by enabling instant access to your player any time you turn on your TV or switch from another source (e.g., cable box, Blu-ray player, gaming console).It also allows your Roku player to download new OS software and channel updates automatically without interrupting your use of the player. Your streaming player only uses your internet connection when streaming, or during the occasional automatic software update. When not in use, your Roku streaming player does not use any material bandwidth of your internet connection.
·USB-powered Roku streaming players
The Roku Streaming Stick+, and Roku Express can be powered through the USB port on your television. This means it will automatically power-off when you turn off the television, but it also means that it will have to boot-up every time you turn on the television.
Note: The USB port on some TV's may be unable to power a Roku streaming player.
·Options for powering off Roku streaming players
Although Roku streaming players use very little power when not in use, you may still want the ability to power-off manually. To do this without having to remove the power cable, consider connecting to a power strip with a power button, or a smart strip that automatically turns off power when not in use.
Note: Your Roku player will have to boot-up every time you turn on the power strip.
