Dan,
Thank you for the reply. I may have failed to elaborate on an important item. My Roku is a Smart TV—not the steaming player. I didn't know those existed until now 🙂 Anyhow, my Roku Smart TV is new out of the box and right now it has its power cable, HDMI cable plugged into DVD player and it’s hardwired to the nearby router at the moment “for improved signal.” I plan to get it mounted. Since this tv has built in audio and visual, if I simply leave it hardwired or change it to wifi connection, it’s audio and visual be at its peak? You mentioned how the HDMI kept audio and visual in the “digital realm,” but I assume this is for Roku steaming players—not the smart tv. If I’m understanding this correctly, Roku smart TV will produce amazing audio and visual whether connected via wifi or hardwire and the HDMI to DVD player, in this case, is solely for communication between the 2 devices.
When reading about Roku, I must have reviewed content on the Roku player vs actual Roku Smart TV, which started my thinking about how to wire it for peak performance.
