Will a Roku enable me to stream the ILDN games on my TV?

The best stream for me has been with my PC wired with CAT5 to my router and wired with HDMI into my TV or AV receiver.

I have done it all wirelessly with my Chromecast but have had less hiccups when wired up. ROKU allows developers to program solutions if anyone is interested but I'm pretty sure there isn't an easy way to any monetary returns with Chromecast available as competition.

I just installed an app on my Nexus7 tablet that allowed me to stream from ILDN to my ROKU.  The app worked well for me with almost no setup on my ROKU3.  It scanned for my Chromecast and Fire TV and worked on those too. I thought the ROKU video was clearer but when I attempted to check this I couldn't get the ROKU to play a second time.

The app is called "Web Video Browser|Browser to TV" from InstantBits Inc. There is a free version with ads and a pay version.  I'll experiment more when I get a chance.

There are other similar apps including R-Cast which though I've tried in the past I have no opinion concerning how well it would work with ILDN.

I'm glad you asked the question, CU2007!

Quote from: CornellLast season, there were nearly 30,000 views of Cornell athletic events on ILDN with more than 137 live home events.
If the 30,000 views pertain to the 137 home events then it's an average of 219 viewers per event.

Ye of incurable faith. Let's see it up and streaming before the banana sings. First Cornell ILDN match appears to be next Friday (9/2) soccer vs. Central Connecticut State: http://www.cornellbigred.com/coverage.aspx?start_date=09/2/2016 If it works, this is reason enough to get a Roku stick. The basic one is $49.

Yet it looks as if my not too dated ROKU3 and I can't go to the party.  I will be waiting for the reviews.

I just checked for the ILDN on my ROKU and was pleasantly surprised that it was available as I thought a ROKU3 would not be a fourth generation device (mentioned as necessary in the announcement).

Without a current subscription there is some limited content available.  I selected the Cornell channel and watched "Cornell Football 2016 First Practice", though this content is not recommended for audiences with weak psyches. The video was fine.  It was better than the same clip through my Chromecast as played on my tablet.

There is also an area labled "Around The(sic) Ivy League" which can be handy in a medical emergency.  A selection titled "Harvard Freshman Seminars" is available which when watched is predicted to work as an emetic (should the need arise).

Yeah, I took the "4th generation" to be referring to AppleTV only and not Roku devices.

Right you are.

The ILDN FAQ say it works with "most mobile browsers" on Android. Has anyone tried viewing the ILDN this way on an Amazon Fire TV (which runs a version of Android?
