What Is Streaming; But What If I Didn't Connect My Tv - Hisense 65R7050E User Manual

What is streaming?

Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the Internet, or located on a network-connected
media server or on a USB device plugged into the TV's USB port.
With streaming, you can watch most programs on demand, when it's convenient for you. When streaming, you can play,
pause, rewind, and fast forward whatever you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn on closed
captions.
Tip: Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live programming or a program that is
supported by ads, you generally are not allowed to skip the ads.
Your TV lets you chose from thousands of streaming channels that over a huge selection of entertainment:
• Over 450,000 movies and TV shows (fewer choices are available outside the United States)
• Unlimited music, live and on-demand
• Tons of live and on-demand sports
• Commercial-free kids programming
• International language programming in 22 languages
• 24x7 news and in-depth news commentary
Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels, like VUDU and Amazon Video, let you purchase or rent the
latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels such as Netflix or Spotify charge a monthly subscription fee and
others are available at no additional cost if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider. For
example, HBO subscribers with participating broadcast TV provider accounts can add the HBO Go channel and watch it at no
additional cost.
If you have an existing subscription to a service like Netflix or Spotify, you can just sign in with your existing user name and
password.
To play streaming content that is available on the Internet, you add streaming channels to your Home screen. To add a
streaming channel to your Home screen, use the Streaming Channels option on the Home screen menu to go to the Roku
Channel Store, and then select the streaming channel you want to add. The streaming channel is then added to your Home
screen, and you can watch it at any time.

But what if I didn't connect my TV?

What if you went through Guided Setup and chose Connect to the Internet later? No worries. Your Roku TV makes it easy
to connect whenever you want. As you move around the Home screen, you'll see several places where you can start the
connection process. For example:
Every now and then you'll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen offering a Connect Now
option. Simply highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.
Use the Connect and activate now option in the Settings menu. From the Home menu, select Settings, then Network,
and then Connect and activate now.
If you want to start over from the beginning, use the Settings menu to do a Factory reset, and then go through Guided
Setup again. This time, choose your home network when prompted.
Regardless of how you connect, the process is the same. If you need details, see Step 3 of
