Media servers include personal computers running media server software such as Plex or Windows Media Player, network file storage systems that have built-in media server software, and other devices that implement the specifications of the Digital Living Network Alliance. Some servers do not fully implement the DLNA specification but are UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) compatible. The Roku Media Player will connect to them as well. Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible formats. DRM-protected content is not supported. Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless Internet access often require you to interact with a web page to authenticate your access. These restricted public networks are commonly known as captive portal networks. When you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information is needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the requested information. Tips • Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless availability and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to authenticate access to your account. • Your TV must already be running software version 7.0. You can find the version number by navigating from the Home screen to Settings > System > About. If it is running an earlier software version, you must use a non-restricted wireless network to link and activate the TV, and then update the software to version 7.0. • Be sure to bring your Roku TV remote control, because the Remote feature of the Roku mobile app may not work when connected to a hotel or dorm room network. • Content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside your home country due to geo-filtering. To connect your TV to the restricted network: 1 Either during Guided Setup or after selecting Settings > Network > Set up new Wi-Fi connection, you're presented with a list of available networks. 49
