Title isn't completely accurate - WP article says that the site was sold to Sam Reich, one of their execs, and some servicess will continue for a while as he works on retooling the site.

You might want to try http://devtools.web.roku.com/#stream-tester-tool as a way to test specific media files and streams without having to code a full channel.

I'm the developer of this channel and am not directly associated with CCC; I asked for permission to use their API to provide these videos for Roku users and have been developing it off-and-on for a few months. I'm planning on ad

No, when setting up the TV, if you choose not to have a network connection, there is no need to link. There wouldn't be a way to link, as the TV can't reach the Roku servers.

The scripting language used for developing Roku channels is BrightScript, which is based on BASIC syntax with some bits of other languages thrown in.

That was because it was setup in connected mode and was trying to tell you of a connection loss. If you factory reset the TV and choose not to connect it, you won't have the blink.

The first Roku TV platform was launched in Fall 2014 with TVs by TCL and Hisense; those TVs are still getting software updates -- 9.1 was released earlier this year, and Roku OS 9.2 is in the process of being pushed to all models now. Rele

Pretty useless. The number of devices that actually use Ethernet over HDMI is appromiately zero.

This is the ACR technology in Roku TV devices. It works on the TVs inputs and fingerprints the video several times a minute, sending thumbnails to a server to get visual matches. To disable, go to Settings/Privacy/Smart TV experie

During setup, you can choose to not connect to a network and you don't have to link the TV. Also, once you get to this screen, hitting star will bring up a help menu; asking for more help will let you factory reset the TV and start se

See tvupdate.roku.com; Roku posts USB-loadable firmware updates for all Roku TVs, although it's sometimes not as current as the network-delivered version.

Yes! I've got the Dell Ultrasharp 38 on my desk and it's been wonderful. It runs at 3840 x 1600 and gives me lots of room for text editor, terminals, and web browser, filling my line of sight while I'm working.

I bought one of the original kit versions of this and also bought one of the most recent units as a gift to my mother-in-law. We love it; it runs in our bathroom in the morning, is dead simple to use, and lasts a very long time on a batter

Roku TVs can operate in a dumb mode -- during guided setup, you can opt to not connect to the network, and they won't try to connect from that point on. There are still some ads that show up occasionally on the home screen, but they&#

The setting is controlled by "Settings/Privacy/Smart TV Experience". The first time you go into an input a dialog shows up asking the user to opt-in or out of this.

Miracast works, but not Google Cast protocol. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube are all fully supported. There is no Bluetooth wireless on the Roku devices except for the Roku TV Wireless Speakers which have a BT receiver for playing audio

There were a few third-party cartridges that extended Atari Basic and used the second cartridge port, the most famous being Monkey Wrench by Eastern House. ( http://www.atarimania.com/utility-atari-400-800-xl-xe-monkey... ).

Again, no Roku device has ever implemented Ethernet over HDMI. It's too poorly supported in TV hardware to be worth doing.

As far as I know, no Roku device has ever implemented Ethernet over HDMI. It's too poorly supported by devices to spend money on implementing, and WiFi just works better.

Font fail: I kept reading 3op as 30p and was wondering what some of this meant. 3-op would be clearer.

Cool! I did a little review of this book back when I was the CodeWarrior for Windows compiler/linker developer at Metrowerks. It's a really useful work.

The assembly video ( https://basicengine.org/hardware.html#_assembly ) is really neat. I like how he made the SMT ICs easier to test by bringing out all the pins to nearby pads. That lets you easily test for bridges and good
