explain to me how this stick works, please. null

The Roku stick plugs into the HDMI port of your television and connects via WiFi to your internet through your wireless network router, providing you with access to streaming content.

To use the stick - follow directions in the package. Plug the stick into your HDMI port, attach the cable that comes with it -- plug into electrical outlet --You have to set up your Roku on your computer after you plug the Roku stick in and tell it what WiFi you want to connect to, then go to your computer to choose the channels you want to watch.. When you want to use it, use your TV remote - click on your Input on your TV remote, scroll down to the HDMI port you have it connected to and click OK. Then your channels will appear and you can watch what you want. I use Netflix, Acorn and Amazon plus other channels.

It plugs into your HDMI port on your TV and has a cable to use a USB port for power. You connect it to your WIFI network. (It requires you have wireless internet. You can get free movies and channels and music You can subscribe to streaming services, some of which are not free like HULU, Amazon Prime, Netflix. You can set up the ROKU handle the charges I think, or via each service on their site. You can use it to project the screen from a DLNA capable device like a new smartphone You can load the Roku app on your phone to control it and use the headset as a wireless headset. http://www.rokuguide.com/

You have to plug it into the HDMI port on your TV set up account info online make sure you have internet (wireless modem) It won't work without it. then use the remote to set up your device.

Just like any Roku. You set it up, install 'channels', stream away! You can add channels from the stick itself or from your Roku account, and you can also add 'secret' channels by adding the codes for those (non-official, self-developed channels for other services; you'd have to find the code or listings for those). Note that some channels still require you to have a valid subscription, so while having HBO, for instance, is possible on the Roku, without an HBO account you wouldn't be able to access any content.

You plug the Stick into the HDMI port on your TV, and to a power souce. Then the tick connects through WIFI and with apps you cane watch tv, movies, and play games. Some content is free, some require subscriptions.

The device, once activated to your Amazon account allows access to programming that is free and some that are not free. Once connected to the internet you can activate the free music app Pandora and with a paid subscription Netflix. There is also access to Vudu and Hulu.

The stick works through a HDMI input, connected to the internet. Numerous apps are then available, some free and some pay.

Plugs into the hdmi port on your tv. Then you hook your wifi up to it and can access apps like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now (all require subscriptions). Then you can view content from those services on your tv.

the stick plugs in to hdmi and the usb end go's into usb on your tv and it is done.

You plug it into the back of your television and you plug it into a usb port, or the wall using a wall adapter (not included) for power.
