The USB connection provides power to the Roku Stick. If your TV does not have a USB connection, an AC plug in adapter is included.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.USB Power. You can either use a TV port if available or the supplied charger. If you use the TV port, the stick will lose power every time you turn the TV off, so it'll reboot every time you turn it on. If you use the charger (as long as you don't unplug it), the stick is always on, so it will be ready to go as soon as you have your TV on. Reboot times aren't too long, though, so it's not a big deal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You plug the other end into a USB port on the TV to power it. If there is no USB port on the TV, you plug that end into a power block (adapter) that plug into an ordinary wall outlet. The power block comes with the Roku stick.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The other plug is going into the USB port of the TV to supply power. It comes with a power brick to plug into a standard outlet, but if your TV supports it, you can just power it off the USB port. Both of my TVs supplied power, but one cut the power when the TV was off, causing the Roku to boot up every time the TV was turned on... and the other one kept it on even when the TV was off, so it was just ready to go when you turn on the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The streaming stick can draw power from a USB port. So that is probably the second plug. It comes with an AC adapter/USB plug if your TV doesn't have one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The other end is for the USB cable plugged into either the USB port on your TV or the included USB power adapter. If the unit doesn't work plugged into your tv then use the adapter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It must power off of a usb OR wall plug, what you are probably seeing is a usb in the rear of the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The other cord is the USB cord, used to power the Roku.
