10. With 4 streams running concurrently.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It needs to be plugged in, but if your TV has a USB port, it **might** be able to power it through that (this works on my TV I got in like 2014, but not the TV from 2011).
A Roku can indeed be powered from a standard USB port.
so this may actually work -- right now all my tv and audio wires are hidden behind the wall. and if i have to plug it in, it'll be a huge pain trying to fish the wire up from the outlet that's in a cabinet below the tv.
Unfortunately my Roku stick still has to be powered by plugging into wall. Then if you leave it plugged in too long it overheats. Yay.

and then it didn't work.

And I was like, Oh yeah, this is technology in 2019.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

First ones next year. I think Loki is 2021. It will lead into the Dr Strange sequel.

getting the roku for each tv. from what i've been able to tell, you can use your tv's usb port as a power source rather than having to plug into a wall outlet. now to figure out which one to get.
