What is a Roku TV? I hope I can ask this here

Roku is a streaming device that connects to the internet via your wifi. Buy it once and done, not monthly charges for the Roku. It offers a very simple method of signing up for subscription channels (HBO etc). It comes preloaded with several free services funded through advertising. Once you register a credit card it is a one stop for any streaming service, just click on the icon and approve the transaction then set up your account.

A Roku TV is a 'smart tv' that has the roku device built in--one remote control for all your streaming and TV control. You can still add an antenna for local broadcasts or other devices just like your dumb TV.

Smart TVs can connect to the Internet but surfing is painful and slow, it's not a reason to buy a smart TV.
