I consider myself of average intelligence. I have installed,maintained, and even helped design whole police communication systems.
I find the Roku very frustrating.
I plugged it in, signed into my router, and fumbled around till I downloaded the youtube and NBC Sports app. Then, by using my desk top and putting in codes given to me by the Roku into certain websites, I was able to log into both.
(This was a challange as they have distinct charactors for "One" and "L" but dont tell you what they are. Same for "zero" and "O" Thankfully, you can keep requesting new codes with the roku to put into your desktop.)
But using the simple remote is a pita.
For instance, every time you go to the NBC Sports app, you must FIRST chose skating, then go to replays or live or whats coming up. Finding what you want to watch on youtube, like ISUJUNIORGRANDPRIX whatever is laborious.
Am I missing something?
Is there some sort of keyboard adaptor for these beasts?
I also was very impressed with the quality of youtube video.....ISU Salt Lake City Classic not so much....was it just the broadcast?
Maybe I am just too old and should have hired a 9 year old.....
