Do I need any other Apple product to use an Apple TV? Christmas gift idea..

My laptop is a few yrs old, but was overkill at the time so it still runs everything great EXCEPT DirectvNow. I have it hardwired into my wireless gateway. My speeds run about 105Mbps down. Seems like every minute or so it is like I hit a pause button....

I have a Roku 2 (about a year old..Sling promotion) ethernet connected, hit about 90Mbps down. DirectvNow wants to buffer a lot (I know they've had their issues) but it also resets a lot, I can push the home button, screen appears, but app sound continues, uninstalled app, Roku is up to date. Tried wirelessly and it's all about the same. Is my Roku 2 dying? Can't find much online help..(tried Google). Any thoughts? Thanks. Andy

Have an older tube tv I'm not ready to give up on yet. My internet wireless gateway supports both 2.4GHz & 5GHZ band. Does the Roku express + (yellow red and white cord) support 5GHZ band? By chance does it have an ethernet port on it? Thanks, Andy

I have an older rca 19 inch tube tv. It only has a coax connection. No red, yellow and white connections. I'm wanting to add a Roku to the tv. What would I need to convert the picture to coax and is there even a device that would convert HDMI to red, yellow and white and then to coax? Thanks, Andy

I don't own a PlayStation. What and where can I get a device to get it? Wal-Mart maybe? Amazon fire? Is it sold at Wal-Mart? Cost? Thanks, Andy Do I need a PlayStation account? If so, how do you get one? If not, that's cool. Do I have to sign up for Amazon prime or just buy a box?

Does the firestick Wi-Fi recognize 2.4, 5.0ghz or both? Thanks, Andy

I was told by a person at Sling TV that roku had the least problems. I bought a Chromecast and the picture seems to "downgrade" more than when I had my roku 2 that's dead now hooked up. I have plenty of internet speed and everytime I try to change the speed settings in the Sling app it auto resets to "best" My picture will "downgrade" for lack of a better word and then in a few minutes look good again. And I generally don't run more than 1 device at a time through my modem. Any thoughts?...

Chromecast for Sling

I'm on a limited budget and my 4y.o. roku is dying. Is the stick any good or would a roku 1 model be any better? Thanks, Andy
