[ad_1] Back in November, grilling giant Weber joined the WiFi-connected pellet grill game when it announced its upcoming SmokeFire grills.

Roku makes it easier to connect soundbars and receivers to its TVs
[ad_1] It’s not surprising why Roku would go this route: Making its own audio products isn’t exactly easy, and it also limits choice for consumers. With TV Ready, less tech-savvy consumers also won’t have to worry as much about making sure all of their audio settings are correct. So far, Roku has Sound United (the […]
