No. It is one of those devices that plays NetFlix etc. What is special about it is that it employs "Miracast" which allows Android devices to nativley share their screen... And the Roku allows you to do that as a "Guest" without being on that network. This is important because you are on a closed (Sololink) network with no connection to the Internet.So the Roku stick is just an android device that can run the Solo app?
It "should" also work with Apple TV. I have one of those also (Yahhh I know....) though I haven't specifically tried it with solo as i am using Android for Solo (for Tower) . Again, the key is if you can connect Apple TV to the Sololink network (since it isn't specifically connected to the Internet). I believe I have done that for other things, but in any case, if you can do that you could do the same thing (send to goggles) wirelessly with an Apple TV device.
I tried doing it with a Chromecast, but couldn't make it work. The problem there was that the Chromecast wants to be connected to the Internet, and as mentioned the Sololink network isn't.
I just saw this, and that might be even more interesting for FPV goggles with an HDMI input, but the "trick" is it needs to be able to get the Miracast signal without specifically joining the Sololink network, or if it needs to, that it will join the Sololink network without it connecting to the Internet
