I just cut the cable. For two LG TVs there is not power nearby so plugged the USB cable into the tv. Roku boots up each time I turn on the television. Is this bad for the Roku? I know it doesn't do u...

If there is no power near by then how is the TV powered? If you need multiple outlets then use a surge protector. But it is "ALWAYS" best to plug the Roku into an outlet using the AC adapter. It's probably taking longer to boot up cause your TV power settings are putting the device to sleep. Go into your TV power settings. Not the Roku settings. A Roku does not have a on/off button. They are meant to be powered on all the time. So eventually your Roku could have a failure due to the constant rebooting. Even the instructions say to use the AC power adapter.

This! (Or extension cord + surge protector)
