we have 3 tvs that has roku.. is it possible for all of us to watch something different on each tv? we were watching LMN in our room and my son was watching youtube but all of the sudden our movie went off? what happened
Yes, you can watch different things on different Rokus. You can run into bandwidth limitations if your internet connection isn't very fast, but this normally would result in buffering delays, not an exit from the program. There must be some other reason your program was cut off.
You can also run into limitations imposed by the channel if you try to watch the same channel on more than one unit, as some channels limit how many simultaneous streams they will provide to one account. For instance my Netflix account limits me to 2 streams at a time.

I think she means have completely different set of channels on different TV's. I just removed a bunch of channels from a Roku tv that is used exclusively as a computer monitor and it removed the same channels from ALL my Roku TVs. I didn't want that. How do i have a different set of channels on different roku TVs signed into the same Roku account?
@Darth, it's been requested many times, but it's not possible. The only way to have different channels/apps on different Roku devices is to have them linked to separate Roku accounts.
If they are on separate accounts, i can't control them all from my phone app without constantly signing in and out. Super, super lame. Please stop syncing my TVs on the same Roku account. Get it together Roku. Sync settings unavailable?. Super frustrated.
@Darth not going to happen. For every user such as yourself that wants them independent, there's likely 1000 or more that prefer the devices are synchronized. Perhaps it could be a user-configurable option, but I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement, so probably not something Roku wants to put time into.
