After the previous thread, I'm interested in a set-top box... oh, that
includes the roku that I asked about before on one of these groups.

Well 2 more questions:

The descriptions keep talking about HDTV. One doesn't need HD does he?
It will output to SD also?


Make sure the box you get has SD output. There are converters (HD to SD)
but they can be expensive.

Are some of them wireless and can I expect it to stream continuously
with wireless B/G? Or do I have to buy a new router with N?
Remember, I don't have HiDef, and I don't expect to get it. If I buy
with AC, will it still suppport B/G, which all my other devices are?


AC uses a different frequency than B/G, however all the AC devices 've
seen support both frequencies. AFAIK N can use either frequency.

Always consider a WIRED connection first. It's simpler and more
reliable, as well as more secure.
