Question: If my TV has an MHL port, but the vendor does NOT state that my TV is "Roku Ready," does this limit the functionality of this product in any way?
Document: I purchased this to use with a new Insignia LED tv (roku ready with MHL port). It works perfectly and I love that it is completely hidden. It has eliminated the need of an additional power cable and it works flawlessly with my TV's remote! If you have a wall mounted TV (with an MHL port) and want everything hidden this it the way to go.
[...]I did not purchase this item, so this comment is not really a review, but a warning. The Roku Streaming stick clearly requires a MHL enabled TV (sometimes marketed as "Roku Ready"). Must of the most negative reviews are people who clearly didn't have the right TV which means the product does not work at all. The link above will point you to a list of compatible TV's.== If you are in the market for a new TV, a MHL link could be very useful in the future for a number of new products.
Very cool product Just plugs in the side of the TV If the has HDMI MHL port. Roku has some cool chanels. Great product!
You must have a device that supports an MHL port to power this device. It must be Roku ready, I had a DVD player with a MHL/HDMI port & it still did not work. Once there are more devices in the market that will support the stick, then I would give it chance. For now, I will hold on to mine until the device is out there.
Turn any MHL input regular HDTV, into a smart tv. This is a very good buy and a good pair with the Cosmo 40 inch led MHL ready tv, also sold on Amazon for around $250, this a good way to create your own upgradable HDTV smart tv.
Plugged into my Insight TV with MHL and works as advertised. Setup and connecting to internet was easy.But:It wouldn't start running until I gave it a credit card number just in case I wanted to purchase something on it down the line. In spite of the fact that I already shelled out money to buy it and would rather not have my credit card number at risk.Roku makes it easy to add new items, but there is no obvious way to delete them.Apps like Netflix just don't have the full functions they do on my PC or Kindle, and searching doesn't work nearly as well.There are a lot of internet video sources I can't get through this because they aren't part of the Roku environment.I actually find using the mini HDMI output of my Kindle HD 8.9 almost as much.
I finally bought an upgraded LED TV that was capable of powering this stick. It takes a special HDMI port to power it just as a USB device is powered. Once connected it worked like a charm. Remote and stick very responsive unlike the ROKU set top box version 2. Nice to also be out of the way as it connects in the back of the TV and just stays there. Love It.
Fantastic product. The reviews overall are good. The few complaints are from people using TVs from the 70's. The Roku 3400R streaming stick is small, so small you can't see it when plugged in. No more messy cords. My only complaint would be the price? Sure it would be nice to pick one up in the $70 range, but eithe way it's a great product. Very good reviews everywhere you look including at "hulu deals". Googlehulu deals streaming reviews" and read the review on it and its competitors.[...]
Your kids will be able to figure this out but Grandma might have a little trouble at first. If you have Amazon Prime (which you totally should because it's awesome! ), this Roku supports Amazon Prime Instant Video where you can access tons of content.Highly highly recommend this, again, IF you have an MHL port on your TV. It turns an otherwise basic TV into a Roku enabled smart TV.
In order to do this on my TV, I generally switch the Dish Network remote to &#34;TV&#34; and then press &#34;Menu&#34; to bring up the TV menu and then navigate to the appropriate input using the directional arrows. This is problematic because the MHL port tells the Menu key to return to the Roku main menu. The workaround is to tap &#34;Input&#34; on the Dish remote to get to the next input (HDMI 3), where I can then press Menu to bring up the TVs inputs.
Answer: REFERENCE: Roku Support- posted this on October 05, 2012 11:55What is the difference between Roku Ready and MHL enabled devices? Roku Ready products are MHL-enabled consumer electronics devices that are certified by Roku to work seamlessly out of the box with the Roku Streaming Stick. These products display a distinctive Roku Ready logo on their packaging so consumers can easily identify them for use with the Roku Streaming Stick.  Other products with MHL ports that are not certified as Roku Ready are not supported by Roku for the Streaming Stick.----------------Roku will not certify that it works unless it is labelled "Roku Ready". It will probably work anyway, but tou are taking a chance. It may very well be a marketing issue, and not a technical one, but I would make sure the TV can be returned.Only these brands carry "Roku Ready" Certification. Insignia Hitachi Sceptre Hisense Element Haier Proscan APEX oCOSMO RCAThere are many brands besides this group that are MHL enabled.MHL's initial and primary use is to mirror what is on your cell phone. It is possible the better known brands prefer to sell you a Smart TV, and not have you purchase a ROKU streaming stick.
