The Roku tells methat I need that I need to be connected to a media browser server on the network so that the roku media browser can operate.
What is that and where do I get one so I can operate the TV and use this media browser? Last week Roku was calling it just a plain browser.
Help please?
go to your roku account and add the channels you want they will apear on roku on your tv
I am curious, why are you trying to use your TV as a computer? It is rather ill suited. A web page is not a picture, it is a very complex series of commands on how to draw the page. That is why one web page fits all computers.
A TV does not have a processor to interpret a stream of commands.
If it is a visual thing you are trying to accomplish your best angle of attack is to mirror your computer on your TV. Then use a plug in keyboard as your entry device.
That adds the missing processor and graphics capability.
Is your question better stated how do I mirror my laptop screen to my TV using roku?
Roku is not capable of browsing the internet outside built in apps such as Youtube since it doesn’t have a web browser app. Trying to search the web without a keyboard and mouse is a pain and TVs don’t lend themselves well to show web content due to the large font sizes at low resolution. Use an iPad if you want to browse the web and stream content to the TV; most new smart TVs are capable of doing that, however your Sharp may be a little outdated for that.
