Yes. I use a USB drive to watch media. Just plug into the Roku Ultra and use the Roku Media app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello mccatt! USB drives can be formatted with different file systems. Roku devices support USB drives that are formatted with the FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, and HFS+ file systems. Many new USB drives are pre-formatted with the exFAT file system, which is not supported. If you don't know which file system is used, insert the USB drive into an available USB port on your computer. When the drive appears on the desktop, right click on the icon with your mouse and select Properties on your PC, or Get info on your Mac.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The USB port in the Roku is usually to power the unit, unless otherwise specify in the manuals per the model. The USB port on your TV is usually power out too, at least that is how I have used it. The HDMI port on the Roku is the video out, if you want to use a USB as video in you would need to get a HDMI to USB adapter.
