Network Status

Is there a quick way to determine if a Roku box is connected to the network? My channel needs to get a response from a website open startup. I'd like to have the channel report immediatedly that the network is down and can't continue rather than waiting on a response that will never come.

Thanks

    You can call roDeviceInfo.GetLinkStatus(). I notice this is not currently documented; I will add it to the doc soon.

    --Mark

    Does that return a boolean or are there more status codes?

    It returns Boolean. There is also an associated roDeviceInfoEvent that you can enable to receive notification when the link status changes. This is now documented.
