Depends on the specific TV's USB port and the specific model Roku - if it can supply .8 Amps or higher (e.g. USB 3.0 ports) then you may be fine. However, insufficient power may not manifest itself in obvious ways, so if your Roku starts behaving strangely/odd errors, plug it directly into the provided AC adapter (get a USB extender cable if necessary).
