“We're tired of the desktop roku box, with the additional power cable, HDMI cable, etc. If we use this instead, will we still have the Roku home screen when we first turn on the TV? We REALLY want to stay with the Roku interface.”

The home screen is slightly different than one on my Roku Express+; otherwise process is the same.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you will still have the Roku interface. Our newer 4K tv we did not need to plug into the power outlet it plugs in to HDMI port and the other end into the USB port back of the TV. One of our tvs it didn't produce enough power to plug back into itself, it comes with an adapter cord - the USB end plugs into a cord that plugs into the outlet behind the TV.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. It starts with ROKU screen every time. But I gave mine plugged in using a/c adapter. If you plug the USB into the TV, I think it defaults to whatever your tv does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. This plugs directly into an HDMI port and the power side plugs into a USB port (no need for the extra power cord). This specific model is great because it's the only remote that you need: it has the power and volume button for the TV. Once you power the TV on, it brings you to the Roku homepage. Quality is great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
