Set up Roku Express screen doesn't stay

Trying to set up Roku Express on a non smart tv. It's got HDMI and everything is powered on. The screen keeps flashing so I can't read the ROKU setup to get it working. It flashes the Roku set up screen for just a micro second then goes black and keeps on flashing on for a split second, almost as if it's not compatible with my tvs video output. Any suggestions?

Re: Set up Roku Express screen doesn't stay

If you're using the TV's USB port to power the Express, try using a USB power adapter/charger from a phone or tablet plugged into the wall.
