@Nathan - Glad you took the plunge with Roku.  No matter which Roku you purchased it will still sync your Netflix, Hulu Plus and any other accounts with any other devices that you use those services on (such as Xbox, etc.).  So no worries there - though remember that syncing isn&#039;t instantaneous!  As for which Roku you purchased, there is a great image comparison that helps describe each model so that you can tell the difference.  This link will send you to the Roku forums and at the 5th post down you&#039;ll see the image: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?p=413449&#038;sid=16d79236b6840d480f600df4ed53c15f&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener noreferrer ugc&quot;&gt;Roku model comparion&lt;/a&gt;.  Thank you for the kind words, we&#039;re happy to help!  Let us know if you need any other info.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello again guys, and thanks for the info on my last comment, it was so very helpful. I just have one quick silly question to ask. We bought a ROKU 2 a couple days ago and it&#039;s in an orange box that&#039;s about 8x8 inches and weighs about a pound or so, Anyway I was wondering, it only says ROKU 2 on it and I looked all over the box and it doesn&#039;t say ROKU 2XS ANYWHERE . Only a picture of the high gloss box with the little blue fabric looking tab hanging off the side of it. I guess I&#039;m just asking you guys, exactly what did I get lol , and will it still work through the Xbox and the Wii as per the last comment and response lol , (you&#039;ll have to forgive my idiocracy lol). Thank you again so very much for your time, concern , and for your very intelligent help!!!]]></description>

@Nate_1204 - Thanks for your question.  The Roku is for use on a single TV at a time.  So to answer your question, yes you need a Roku for each TV if you don&#039;t want to move it around like you do the Wii.  However, if you already have the Wii and Xbox setup on 2 of the TVs, then you really only need 1 Roku for the 3rd TV.  Since queues and favorites are tied to accounts with Netflix, Hulu, etc. - anything you watch on the Roku will update on the Xbox and Wii and vice versa.  I hope that answers your question.  If you have anything else, feel free to ask here or send in a message on our contact form.  Good luck!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello and thank you for your time. I live in a relatively small home, or I should say that our 3 tvs and wireless router and wired router are all close to each other. We have cable and phone/internet and are planning on dropping the cable and phone and keeping the internet. Will we have to buy a Riki for all 3 tvs. Not sure if it helps but they are all new tvs and my son already gets Netflix and Hulu plus using his Xbox and we get them using a Nintendo Wii in the living room. If me or my wife want to watch Netflix or Hulu in the bedroom, we have to take the Wii to the bedroom. Anyway, the main question was will we have to buy a Roku for the main TV or, will we have to buy one for each TV ? Or do you know of a cheaper, easier way we can get the service on all 3 tvs?  Again, thank you so very much for your time!!!]]></description>

@William: Roku charges no monthly fees.  HBO GO &amp; Showtime are somewhat different beasts compared to Netflix and Hulu Plus and others.  Those 2 premium providers still require some sort of subscription through a cable provider to gain access to the channels.  Their cling to the old format will eventually fade away, but it&#039;s a big bag of money for them and they won&#039;t give it up quickly.]]></description>

@Mike M: That&#039;s something we haven&#039;t tested, but I see no reason why you couldn&#039;t run the Roku off a hotel WiFi. You would still need to have access to the in room TV ports to connect the Roku to the TV, but otherwise it should run as expected.  In terms of the smartphone, you could use mobile hotspot from your phone (if you pay for that service from your provider) to the Roku, though it would likely be too slow to play video without regular lag.]]></description>
