What is the hidden USB port for?

[RokuCarly]

We're grateful to have you here in the Roku Community, @mfndriver!

Thanks for sharing your query with us. 

Could you please send us a photo of the hidden USB port you are referring to for reference? It may be the HDMI port to connect it to your TV, or if it is a wireless subwoofer, it may be a port to plug in the power cable. For further details, an instruction or user's manual is provided. 

We'll be anticipating your update!

Best regards,
Carly

Hi, @mfndriver.

As we further check, that USB port is intended for diagnostics/initial programming. Kindly disregard my previous post, as that is not used as an alternative to plug in an HDMI port to connect it to your TV directly. 

Hope this helps!

Carly

Can it be used as an alternative connection?

@mfndriver

There is nothing you can do about it. It is purely for diagnostics/initial programming only. 

Hope this clears everything out.

Thanks,
Carly
