Roku setup

[disgrunted_user]

Why "of course"? I can go to hulu.com, disneyplus.com, netflix.com, hbo.com, amazon.com/videos and they all work.

I CAN stream all my channels on my computer. Just not from any sort of Roku app or interface apparently.

+1 yep. it's pretty silly how difficult it is. i don't want to use an app. not gonna watch on a cell phone. tv is in the living room. just want to watch on my windows 10 laptop -- and watch all the same channels that are on the living room roku tv. but i can't do that. really don't want to keep switching from roku to a browser to watch hallmark movies now. i can do that, but want to stay in roku. stinks.

You can try a video capture adapter to convert HDMI to USB and plug a Roku into it.

Thanks for the info, andyross. The concept occurred to me after searching for a solution without success. Did this setup work for you? I have an HDMI female-in VGI male-out converter coming by pony express and am anxious to try it.

Um...

"Where can I watch The Roku Channel?

The Roku Channel is available on your current generation Roku streaming player, Roku Streaming Stick®, and Roku TV. You can also add it to a compatible Samsung Smart TV, compatible Amazon Fire TV device, or access it from The Roku Channel mobile app and Roku mobile app (both for iOS and Android), or online from your smartphone, tablet, or computer at: TheRokuChannel.com."

So you are saying that I can't just watch Roku content on my computer. Except you didn't actually say that. You deflected by listing devices which can be used to watch Roku content. Your list did not contain a personal computer. I must infer that your answer to my question is that it can't be done. If that is the case I will probably cancel my Roku account.
