Time Warner internet service (Roadrunner) is required for TWC TV. Channel will not work with any other internet services. This is not explained in set up requirements and instructions. Time Warner has been notified that their instructions are incorrect.

You need to upgrade to the XD Roku 2. It has 1080p HD and it works real well. They are more expensive but its worth it not to have those clunky digital cable boxes anymore, not to mention the monthly cost.

TWC always has a way of finding ways to charge people more. Hopefully, when we return our digital boxes, that fee will be eliminated from our monthly bill. I have 2 of them myself. Also, since downloading the app to my HDTV, I have not been able to get my local channels which is supposed to be part of the channel lineup for my area. They must be on that app line up somewhere but I have yet to find them. I really like Roku. I have 2 of the devices now, so small and portable and HD is really great. Very happy to see TWC come on board even though I don’t like them at all. There is going to be a lot of competition now with these cable companies starting to stream live and maybe we will finally be able to pick the programming we want and get our cable bills within an affordable range. One can only hope and pray.

Does away with equipment rental and bloated internet/cable package charges. The video streaming package will probably be cheaper than the same over cable. Also makes TWC programming available to anybody with an internet connection instead of only those zip codes where TWC offers service. Not everybody can get their cable service you know.

1. Who says I have to have cable in the ground to pay TWC?

2. Fixed Wireless.

Two flaws with your questions:

1) You need to be paying for TWC in order to be able to stream it on your Roku

2) If there is no cable in the ground then where are you getting your internet in order to stream?
