Can someone explain to me how come I can stream on my roku tv when the internet is down? Is it possibly getting a wi fi signal from a personal hot spot on my iPad or iPhone?
It is possible to use a mobile hotspot to stream to your Roku device, although streaming can burnn through a lot of data and use your hotspot allowance (if limited) quite quickly.
When the internet service is down, usually a good time to switch over to antenna TV and watch free over-the air programs through the antenna or pop in a DVD. I have heard some people also still read books.
If you want to try for the hotspot though, here are some simple instructions from Apple support.
