HDMI Cable

I have an older tv and the Roku Express does not fit in as the tv port is to big. I need to buy HDMI av cables but don’t know which one to buy. I have Roku express 3900 serial number YG004T286167. The Roku cab,es listed don’t mention that one. Thanks

Re: HDMI Cable

All HDMI are the same. Whatever input on your TV you are trying must not be HDMI. By too big, I would tend to think you are trying to plug it into a USB port.

Can you give the brand and model number of the TV so maybe someone here can find a manual and see what is going on?

Re: HDMI Cable

You need the Roku model 3910 (which isn't made anymore) or something like this:
