Hi,
I have a Roku Sharp TV which is internet connected and works ok. It is a small 24" TV so I am considering compact Soundbar options to improve the audio quality. I was looking for a soundbar with HDMI Arc so that it would auto switch on etc when required. The setup is for a caravan (holiday home) so although internet is provided I am limited to my number of concurrent connections and don't want to have to pay for additional wifi connection for the soundbar.
Therefore my query is - will the Roku Soundbar operate OK when connected to a Roku enabled TV over HDMI Arc without connecting the sounder to the internet also? I will use the Smart Roku TV for any TV streaming content.
Additionally, assuming the sound bar could be used, would the Airplay to the soundbar work when it doesn't have an internet enabled wifi connection (I can connect it to wifi so it would be on the local network but don't want to use up an internet licence token if possible).
Hopefully that all makes some sense - I asked the initial question on Amazon and one of the answers pointed me here. Most people said just buy an ordinary soundbar but I like the compact nature of the Roku one and ideally want HDMI Arc for auto switch on etc.
thanks, Andrew.
