I want to hook up a roku stick which needs to be connected to hdmi port but tv only has 1 port. Will this work?

No it will not work at all I even bought a HDMI switcher nothing works.Unless u want to change from cable to netflex by taking one out so the other will work for not buy it.

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv

It may. Its a hit or miss but for $5 its sure worth a try and if it works it'll be the best spent $5!

Only if the double connections do not top ten feet. HDMI loses its signal on either sound, video, or sometimes both. The signal fades over distance. They have a dual cat6 long range extender that is rather pricy but if it is a short distance, it should work just fine.

u need a usb cable that is not included. one end goes into port on tv and the other into Roku.

Yes. Each tv requires a stick. Remember there must be a MHL HDMI port on the tv. Not aware of compatible remotes other than the roku remote that comes with the roku stick.

Cheryl, can you tell me what type of connections you have on the back of the tv? I connected my roku via two RCA inputs for sound and one RCA input for video.

I have the Roku and it works just fine. The USB can provide enough juice to power the stick.

This 3 ft. HDMI cable will work fine to connect your Roku to your HDTV. The short length leaves less extra cable bunched up behind the TV.

media hdmi link. It powers the rokustick. All the other hdmi ports do not provide power so the rokustick wont work. Hope that helps you.

There are different models of the Roku. If you have one with the RCA cable (one end is a single input into the Roku, the other end has the 3 traditional red, yellow, and white composite connectors which plug into the TV. This is the end that would plug into one of the AV switch inputs. If your Roku has a different type connector for the TV it will not work with this switcher unless you have a converter of some sort.

Go to the roku website and they have a list of "roku ready" devices. My tv is an lg and it had an mhl port but was not roku ready so it didn't work flawlessly.

If you don't already own the Streaming stick, Roku is coming out with a new one that goes in a regular HDMI port. You can "pre-order" one right now. If you do already have the streaming stick, this might help you identify the Roku Ready TVs. http://www.roku.com/roku-ready/devices#!/tv

hi lawrence,i have the roku 3. this cable will not work with your setup. no roku has component ports. your hdtv doesn't have an hdmi input? if that's NOT the case, buy a standard hdmi cable and connect the hdmi port on your roku to the hdmi input on your hdtv. if u DON'T have an hdmi input on our hdtv, you need an HDMI to component cable (2nd best option. they have some on amazon & elsewhere) or an HDMI to composite cable (3rd best option. also on amazon & elsewhere). i hope this helps!- andrew

You should not need this device. Just run an HDMI cable from roku to TV. HDMI carries both video and audio.

I havent tried it with a ROKU box, but it has HDMI, component and composite inputs, so I'm sure it will work fine.

Hi Tim., first I must say that I have enjoyed my media bridge, one of the best products of this sort on the market, as far as your question I have a Roku also and as long as you have hdmi connections on both devices it will work just fine. Sincerely Arthur McBride

Looks like the Roku has an HDMI out, in which case no, this is for analog only, specifically composite (yellow/red/white, not component)

I had to return mine. I did not have the proper (exact) port connection on my 2012 40" flatscreen. I can hook up my computer and dvd player as there are multiple HDMI & USB ports. BUT my TV DID NOT have the exact port for the "Roku Streaming Stick"...it did fit in other ports BUT I did not have the "exact named port" that the streaming stick requires. The Streaming Sick does name the "exact" port and you have to check to see if your television has this specific port OR the streaming stick will not work.

It should be fine because the Roku stick is specifically designed for an MHL port.
