Wow what a setup, maybe I need to move forward on my downloading movies to watch off my laptop in RV when traveling, I was told I could upload thru the Roku box but have not tried it yet, I cut the cord years ago and my household yearly TV cost is $300 a Year and I get 5 times what DirecTV was giving me at $70.00 per Month..
