I have a Roku 3 and am interested in the Streambar.

Can I use the Streambar with the Roko 3?

Does the Streambar improve the sound on a non-smart TV when the Roku isn't being used -- that is, when I'm watching standard cable TV?

Hi @ErnieLane1,

Thanks for inquiring here in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you for sharing your interest regarding the Roku Stream bar. The Roku Stream bar has its built-in Roku operating system same as a Roku streaming player. In addition to that. Roku Stream bar is a powerful 2-in-1 upgrade with 4K streaming and premium sound for any TV. Hear every detail as you stream your favorite entertainment in brilliant picture quality with crisp, clear dialogue. You’ll be amazed at how something so small can fill your room with sound. Setup is simple with everything you need in the box.

For more information regarding this device, refer to the official Roku website at this link: Roku® Streambar®

We hope this answers your inquiry.

All the best,
Kash

It didn't.  This was mainly boilerplate from elsewhere.  Answer my questions specifically.

Thanks for the added information, @ErnieLane1.

Since they both run the same operating system, you may use your Roku 3 and Streambar individually. When you connect your Roku Streambar to your TV, the images you view there are identical to those on your Roku 3. It won't function if you connect the two. Furthermore, to answer your question, using the Roku Streambar will improve the sound feature on your TV when you are streaming.

Let us know if you have further queries. We'd be glad to assist you further with this. 

Kind regards,
Carly
