The whole point of having a Roku tv, however is for it to be connected to the internet and it works between all of the apps and your phone.
We have a 10 year old Roku TV and it's actually been pretty great that's streaming.
Actually the whole point of having a Roku TV is that it’s cheap. Unlike many other TV Os’ people don’t necessarily buy Roku TV’s on purpose. Roku has just cornered the market on providing cheap smart OS’ to the cheapest of TV manufacturers. Chiefly TCL, which became incredibly popular as a surprisingly good value TVs in the last five years. I’d imagine they did so by providing the OS for next to nothing to these manufacturers, with the intention to steal as much end user data to sell off as humanly possible.
