Can I stream an iPad or Mac to Roku3?

[tawcat]

Bought an Apple TV for the den where we usually watch TV. My wife likes to read and watch TV in bed at night, so I figured I'd pickup a Roku for that room. It gives her Netflix, Hulu Plus, and a few other things she watches. She asked me if she could stream a CBS show from her iPad to the Roku, I said I don't know! So here I am asking the experts!

Thanks.

Get PlayOn for your Roku no need to stream CBS.

If the content is already saved, you could use plex.

Kinda depends what cable company you have. I have a Time Warner and it lets me stream many but not all live TV channels to my Roku. I haven't used it in awhile but I remember it had live TNT, not sure about CBS. Last I checked, many months ago, it didn't do on demand, but maybe now?

At the moment, no.

However, you can stream your own content stored on your idevice with Roku's remote iOS app: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/08/08/play-on-roku/

I use Plex on Roku to watch CBS. You need to adjust a few settings to get it working but it once it's set it works great. I've been watching The Big Bang Theory on it pretty regularly (in HD no less).
