How ROKU works is easy.
First, I bought a wireless modem, because of my old Standard Definition Television Sets.
You have to consider your internet provider for that, and get an Up-To-Date Wireless Modem or Wireless Router/Modem that will work with that provider.
By the way, if you have a HD Smart TV that can, you might can connect with a Roku 3, which features an Ethernet port and a USB connection for personal media and a MicroSD card to expand internal storage.

Once I received my Wireless Modem, I followed the instructions and set it up.

Then after I received my ROKU 2 box, I followed the instructions and set it up.
But before I turned it on and powered it up for the first time, I went on the Internet to TheBlaze TV and set up my account, and I did this because I wanted to find out the overall cheapest way to do it, and be able to also access the account and watch it over my computer.

Then I followed ROKU's instructions and powered up my ROKU 2 in the order in which the instructions said.
The ROKU ask me to set up an account with their web site, and I did with the Unit Number provided by the ROKU 2 receiver, on my TV screen.
After that account was set up, the ROKU updates its program and I went through the menu and IMMEDIATELY went to THEBLAZE TV Channel, and chose the LIVE PROGRAM instead of the videos on demand. and started watching Glenn Beck LIVE.

It's just that simple.
There is so much more you can wrath through ROKU, and I'm just getting started learning what's available.
One Channel I have learned is YouTube.Com, and the search is a little slow to type in with the ROKU Remote, but it works,
and I love it.

Thanks for the info on how ROKU works. It sounds easy enough...

So from the sounds of it, if there are new internet regulations, this is another business/ customers who would be affected either by taxes or censorship.
