the mhl port on my receiver is in the back. when roku is plugged in, the output to the tv is from that source only. is there a mhl extension cable?

The device does not come with one if that is what you're asking. I don't think I'm understanding why you would need one. The point of MHL devices is that they can be powered and controlled by the receiver's remote so they can be plugged in behind a TV or receiver. Also, if you choose to use a roku remote they utilize RF remotes so they don't need line of sight or anything like that.

Your player should have a mhl port on the front for you to insert the Roku, I believe. The port on the rear is the USB port only. Hope it'll help.

According to Google an MHL extention cable does exist. I'm not sure why you might need one however. Doesn't your MHL enabled port point downward so the Roku would extend downward instead of straight out the back.

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

This unit only comes with a composite cable, capable of 480i output. However, it has an HDMI port, and the Roku LT will output a 720p signal to any TV that can support it. You'll have to buy the HDMI cable separately for a few bucks, or use one you already happen to have lying around.

SURE. Do not use the HDMI output. Buy two RCA Y-Adapters such as Amazon listing "Tsunami RCA701-Y1 RCA 1/Female to 2/Male Y Connector Cable (6 Inch, Gray)" for less than $3 each. Buy 1 Dual RCA Female to male extension cable such as Amazon listing "Cblwhl 2 RCA Male / 2 RCA Female, Cable Extension 12 ft" for under $6. Both are Amazon Prime items so if you are a Prime member they will ship free. So the cables will be about $12. Connect both the red and white RCA plugs from the ROKU cable to the female jack on the 2 Y-adapters. Now each audio cable terminates in two male RCA plugs. Plug one of the RCA plugs from each adapter into the color corresponding red and white jack on the TV input. You now have one terminal remaining on each Y-Cable. Connect the extension cable to the remaining available color corresponding plugs on the Y-adapter and then connect to the audio amplifier/receiver aux/tape inputs, again of the corresponding color. You will now have the audio fed to both the TV and the amp/receiver. With TV turned on. but with the TV volume all the way down you can setup the Pandora to run and get the levels correct through the audio system. Then turn the TV off and the audio will continue to be fed to the audio amp/receiver. You can then also use the tv speakers like a center channel with the amp/receiver adding extra range when watching TV. If you used an HDMI cable, the Roku might go into standby when you turned off the TV. I'm not sure whether or not it would. The ROKU may eventually go into standby anyway even when connected using the component video cables. However this will work until it goes into standby. You probably should turn off or disable the screen saver feature in the ROKU settings also.

Take the HDMI out of the Roku to the input on the extractor. Then the HDMI output from the extractor to the TV or AV Receiver. Next choose analog or digital audio output from extractor and connect that output to the audio device. Depending on connections you may require extra cables such as HDMI, Toslink, Stereo RCA Audio.

I tried this with Roku 3 to connect to a VGA projector. It keeps getting interrupted with digital rights management warnings.:(

no, this is used in applications where you need to plug into a 110v wall outlet to power an appliance or light. This would be used to access an outlet behind a bookshelf or similar item that you need close to the wall, which would prevent a normal extension cord from being used. The Roku runs on USB power.

Roku has only one HDMI plug. So it can only connect one HDMI cable to TV. I suggested you connect one TV to roku and another to XBOX :-P

I am using this with a Roku XD in the kitchen and its working great, just need an HDMI cable. (TV only has one HDMI input)

Being compatible and being fully compliant are not the same thing. Any HDMI cable should work, but if you have the Roku 3, then you notice that you get a non-HDCP compliance error sometimes. That's because the cables are not fully compliant. This cable description says that it is, which is why I'm upgrading to these.

I am not sure just what a Roku is, but is its probably a digtial system using HDMI outputs, this unit handles Analog only, so I don't think it is going to work

Hi Bameiboo!Thank you for your inquiry!This item is not featured by Roku. This is a portable device that can be connected to ports of HDMI/MHL which allows you to mirror your apple device.AisteBisonOffice

Peter, I am very confused by my Roku purchase because of my poor computer understanding. I am not qualified to answer your question; only to say I am returning my purchase because I can't utilize it. Good luck, Michael P.s. I would use velco tape instead of the mounting kit and attach it to the back of your TV with the light still showing.

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.

The Roku should work fine because that port is strictly for MHL products and this should still function properly. I'm not 100% sure because my tv is Roku ready, but I don't doubt that it will still work. There have been people who've complained because they didn't know that the port was different from an HDMI port, but since you already know what your tv has you should be able to use the Roku

Sorry, no idea. I am connecting to a Rasberry Pi which only outputs HDMI. I use this to strip the sound off of the Rasberry Pi that has the Squeezeplug software installed. If the Roku ouputs HDMI and you only need sound which you want to use as input into receiver as analog, then it will likely work.

The Roku Streaming Stick plugs into the side of the TV into the HDMI 3 (MHL) slot. It will take a few minutes to be seen by the TV so be patient. When you see the bouncing Roku, hit "ENTER" on the remote and answer the set up questions. Enjoy !
