I require HDMI Cable to connect between my HDTV and my new Roku 3 device, are there any advice on what kind of HDMI cable to purchase.

I had the same issue with Apple TV. I had purchased very inexpensive cable and had lots of problems. When I purchased this cable everything worked and life became good. This cable is great for your project.

Any high speed or 1.4 series HDMI will work. This one is great for every application you can throw at it. Hope this helps! Good luck!

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.

Any hdmi cable should do. My experience with these cables was not good though as both were defective.

You're correct.The Roku HD is all you need. It comes with the composite cable (red,white, yellow).Our Sanyo TV has 2 composite inputs and we use an HD converter box for regular broadcast TV and we have a DVD player.So we have 3 devices to connect to 3 inputs. The Roku connects to one and then we use an AV switch to connect either the converter box or the DVD player to the other TV input. RCA DT902AV 2-Way A/V Switcher 3 more AV cables to connect two devices to the switch and the switch to the TV.We love it. You're correct.The Roku HD is all you need.

i stream Netflix and Amazon Prime. There are several other channels available with Roku, but those two are all I need.I recommend the Roku 3 (HDMI or hard-wired ethernet cable). Things may change for me. I have just purchased a new "smart" tv - a Sharp Aquos LED/LCD with built in wi-fi and streaming channels, including Netflix and Amazon. For the present, I will stay with my trusty Roku 3. Good luck to you!!!- Steve S.

This is a display port to HDMI connector, not USB. However, you can't connect your roku to the TV via The TV's USB port. You need an ordinary HDMI cable to connect the roku to the TV. If your TV doesn't have enough HDMI ports you can get an HDMI automatic switcher for more ports. A good one would be "ViewHD 3 Port HDMI Switcher 3x1 Auto Switch 3-In 1-Out With 3FT Pigtail Cable". It switches to the roku when you turn the roku on, then switches back to cable or whatever else you have plugged into it when you turn the roku off.

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

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc...Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

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

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

If the televisions aren't too far apart you can split the signal coming out of the Roku and run it to two televisions but they would be showing the same thing. I have a friend that has an older model that has both HDMI and analog outputs, both of which are apparently hot. He has the HDMI output going to the television in the living room and ran a long analog cable to a television in the kitchen. If you are using a newer Roku with HDMI output only you could try an HDMI splitter but I'm not sure how well those work. I'm don't know how you could do it without running a physical cable to both televisions.

This Roku model has both composite & HDMI connections. The composite cables (red,yellow,white) are included but the HDMI cable is not. I use both, depending on which TV I have it hooked up to, and it works beautifully (standard or HD). This model is versatile and easy to use, they also have other models depending on what you would like to do on your TV. Go to www.roku.com to see more product information.

I use a Roku on mine for Amazon/Netflix... It connects into one of the HDMI ports. Works great!

I'm not sure how the remote would know what kind of TV it is controlling, but I can tell you that my ROKU replacement remote is not used in an HD application. My understanding was that if I upgraded to an HD TV everything would work the same as long as I used the proper HDMI cable instead of the coax that was included with the original unit. I guess I would trust what ROKU says even though my understanding is not complete. Hope I didn't make it more confusing.

I ended up using a HDMI cable to hook up my tv to my Roku. Sometimes it's a cable that's been bent one too many times. If you can test both cables individually that might help. Make sure the ports are clean, try other ports if possible. . The answer will probably be found on the Apple site. Try the Apple Support Communities at https://discussions.apple.com/welcome

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.

Yes, I'm using it with a Roku 3. I can't use the Roku at 1080 but I think that's a limitation of HDMI on my TV. The Xbox is using 1080 on the other half without an issue.
