Andy TaylorTechtalkRadio,

Check out our KMSB Fox 11 Segment!

Since Posting, the Battle Between Roku and Google has been Resolved – Good News for Consumers – This Segment Aired 11/08/2021

For the Tech Segment we will be showing off a couple of products and start off with the Roku Express. The Roku Device along with the others in the product line and can turn an HDMI Capable TV into a Smart TV with the Ability to watch not on Fox 11 News but also many free sources for Content. There is Tubi, Crackle, Plex.TV and Philo.TV which can show Favorite shows from the past, documentaries and even music Programs through those services Free Apps. Roku purchased the Content from the now shut down Quibi and offers the programs with its devices through Roku Originals. Users can also watch subscription service like Hulu or Netflix and many of the others. There has been a battle brewing between Google though and Roku and in April, Roku no longer made it possible to Download the YouTubeTV app which would allow a Subscription for Local Channels through YouTubeTV. If you had it prior you were ok. The Situation hasn’t gotten better and now, Device made after December 9th will no longer be able to Download the YouTube App. So if you are thinking about getting one for the Holidays it would have to be gifted before the 9th of next month so the YouTube App could be downloaded. Word is there is a similar issue in development with Amazon Prime and Roku but hopefully it will get worked out. You Can find Roku Express and Roku 4k Devices at prices ranging from 15 bucks upwards depending on the features and you will need Wi-Fi to Make it Work.

Photo of The Linksys HydraPro 6ESpeaking of Wi-Fi, there is new technology to make it easier for our many different devices to connect to get great looking 4k Streaming Video and reliable transfers of your Data. One of the Companies that makes this happen is Linksys. We are taking a look at the new Linksys Hydra Pro 6E. This is a Powerhouse Router that moves the data back in forth in your home or Office for User with a Wired and Wireless Connection. The Previous versions were Wi-Fi 5 which enable the user to carry the highest number of Streams. To give you an Idea, Wi-Fi 5 is great for your devices and moving your traffic however Wi-fi 6 takes that and offers more lanes of traffic – your data moves better, now up that with the latest Wi-Fi 6E from Linksys and Pow..you have increased more capabilities for your device. 4×4 MU-MIMO – 4×4 Wi-Fi radios with Downlink/Uplink MU-MIMO allows downloads and uploads on 12 devices simultaneously (good for upload-heavy uses like uploading photos, social media, live streaming or vlogging, online games, etc.)

With the Stronger Wi-Fi of 6E that also means more devices can connect, we have seen previous limitations up to 25 or 35 with Wi-Fi 5, with the Hydra Pro 6E we can have 55 plus connections which can be managed from the desktop or a mobile app from Linksys. You have the ability to cover up to about 2700 sq feet and if you want more you could add with the Velop Intelligent mesh devices to the furthest rooms. Users will also see throughput not bottlenecked by a slower connection – this is up to 5x faster in data transfer and video streaming up to 6600GPS It also features a USB 3.0 port to store data that can be used and shared across the network with an external drive. I love the Linksys products and security is also handled well with them – Linksys Hydra Pro 6E is available now for around 499
