This article says you can steam Vue on a Roku or Fire TV, but it says the Roku app is inferior. If you read the linked article, the author is complaining about the user interface, not the video quality, saying Sony used a standard Roku template rather than writing the app from scratch.

Roku has more channels, firetv has more app capability (android). AppleTV streams like shit compared to those two.

I still run the old xd it still updates, the apps still update, it's got the supported dev channels.

The Netflix app on our (now) 5 year old LG is a poor example of how Netflix should actually work (or any of the online streaming services for that matter). I didn't realize how poor until we installed a ROKU 2, and found out what a reasonably modern implementation looked like. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 10/15/2016 10:10 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: In your experience, does it help if the customer goes through the procedure to update the app on the smart TV? Most of the smart TVs we run into seem to be Samsung. I know a lot of the early ones also didn’t seem to play well with certain WiFi routers.
