Stream via Internet using C71KW-400
I am a satellite customer. I use the DirecTV app on Roku to stream in some rooms of my house and sometimes when I travel. Works ok. Can I also use a C71KW-400 for the same purpose and would I get any extra functionality such as using the number buttons on the remote, etc?
