I can't get a picture with ROKU3 using component video. The audio's just fine. Could it be that ROKU3 is 1080p and my (legacy) TV is 1080i?.

I would think if anything the TV might be 720. I would really wonder if the component "in" on the TV is SD not HD. Do you still have the owners manual for the TV? If not check on-line for the manual to check.

Roku 3 has some sort of security protection for the movie industry which doesn't allow conversion to component or composite video elements. The sound will be fine but no picture. To prove this get some other HDMI source (like a DVD player) and feed via the converter into your TV and you will see it works.

yes, with this tv you should use an HDMI cable so you will show a much better picture. i do not believe that any of the Roku's come with an HDMI cable so just buy one through amazon or use one that you already have.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

For my 1080p TV the video quality isn't that great so I would recommend getting the ROKU that can stream in 1080P.

Component can support 1080p, but the current agreements between hardware manufacturers caps implemented resolution at 1080i. This is in order that HDCP over HDMI be allowed to reign supreme over all our media content viewings. If they enabled 1080p over Component, then there would be easy(er) ways to bypass the DRM on High-Def discs and programming.So I doubt you're getting 1080p over component unless you've done some hacking.

I just bought one for a ROKU XS. I get no video on the component outputs. The output is going into a Yamaha RXV1 then into a Mitsubishi HD TV.

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.

My unit don't even work DEAD on arrival. look elsewhere.I think the 3d media units only support 1080p in side by side. Ask the question in AVS forums.

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

I bought this specifically for the Roku 3, connecting it to my 720p/1080i projector, and there are no compression, motion video or any other artifacts. The video quality is great at 120".

The Roku unit that I have only has an HDMI cable. If you have a new receiver. It should have an HDMI input and then on the output HDMI goes to your TV. Then you will have sound and picture I do not have a digital receiver, so I needed the digital to analog converter. I hope this helps you anything else, don't hesitate to write rich

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

I have a Roku 2 XD which works fine on it... Is there something special about the ROKU 3?

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

I have been tweaking my new set's picture for 3 days now. The high def is terrific but I only get 12 channels of HD. Since 50% of my viewing will be standard def cable channels, I am very disappointed that I can't get the SD picture to a level of acceptability. (I feel compelled to go to another room and watch non-HD programs on my old 36" CRT.) Any suggestions on setting changes for SD programs? A lot of the screen is blurry and pixelated (with or without the 120-Hz on).

I do not get 1080P but 720P looks fine. I suspect that you could have gotten away with the LT. I bought it for MLB TV and then discovered PLEX. I use PLEX to stream video from my desktop to my Roku.
