I am a newb when it comes to this crap. Which one should I purchase? Can I access LSU games on either of these devices? Thanks.

If you use Apple devices, get AppleTV.

If you don't, Roku. They're not terribly different, but Roku can be found for a good bit cheaper.

Kinda. If they're on ESPN and you have a sign on for WatchESPN, then yes.

I can watch live prime time football on the watch ESPN app? I don't have cable, but my ISP has a deal with ESPN for the App. I thought it only worked for games like ULM?

The new jail broken apple tv's allow you to watch the future as far as 2034. A black female midget is president of the United States. Oh and the United States is called United States of the universe in 2034.

Roku gets netflix, hulu plus, hbo go, amazon prime


apptv doesnt get amazon prime, but if you use an iphone it has airplay that lets you watch what's on your phone on your tv

Apple TV. It's awesome. My brother has the Roku and I think he wishes he got the Apple. From my understanding they can potentially have problems with HBO GO as well (one of my favorite apps).

On the WatchESPN app, you can watch all ESPN channels live plus all of the ESPN 3 stuff.

Yeah I use HBO Go all the time as well on my Roku...no issues.


I have amazon prime as well so use the amazon app on there as well.



I also like all the different channels that Roku offers.

If I remember correctly it, the problem arises when you "share" or use someone else's HBO credentials.

All I really use is WatchESPN and HBO Go for myself. And I did use the Showtime App to watch Homeland.

I use it for my 3 year old boys more than anything. Between Amazon Prime, PBS Kids, Watch Disney Jr, and a bunch of random kid's apps. FML!!!

I share mine with 3 people, it's not my cable account.

Don't tell anyone!
