Getting Started - Setup & How-to

[Naulls07]

Hi,

I've bought the device and realised I have no USB ports in my TV at all to plug it in. i've plugged the HDMI cable in and do actually have 2 spare HDMI leads, if I was to buy an adaptor, would this work?

Thanks

USB is only used for power. Just use the power adapter that was included with the Roku and connect it directly to a wall outlet for power. HDMI ports do not provide power to external devices, so the power connection is necessary.
