This allows you to plug the Roku into the HDMI flexible cable and then into the TV (or panel) in cases where plugging the Roku directly into the TV/panel HDMI port would not be practicable or possible. The Roku also comes with a small HDMI flexible extension cable. Keep in mind: some TV USB ports (or interconnection panel USB ports) may not have enough amperage (or oomph!) to properly power the Roku. The Roku power cord (USB power cord) plugs into the Roku on one end and, on the other, into the TV USB port or the interconnection panel USB port or the USB power supply given to you by Roku. The black cube that plugs into the electrical wall socket is a USB power supply or transformer. The power cord that comes with the Roku (just the cord, not the part that plugs into the wall) is a USB power cord. that's the HDMI port or HDMI port on the interconnection panel. The stick plugs into the TV directly or-if so equipped-plugs into the interconnection panel mentioned above.
If you're interested, you can read more about it at:Ĭlick to expand.Here is the link to 'setup' your Roku. This allows guests to access Roku without messing. As such, guests can access those guest accounts, importing their own accounts if necessary. You can create a guest account with a specific sign in and sign out date.
In fact, he was already working with LG on the HDMI port voltage problem since it prevents him from running a trial program using the HD Boomerang automatic source switcher, which would be a great boon to guests using the Marriott LG Blu-Ray player or their own media devices. Guest Mode is the ideal feature for those running hotels, Airbnbs, and guest rooms.
He was aware that the LG TVs here at DSV2 do not produce enough voltage to activate devices that can run on HDMI power alone, which was our problem when trying to use the Fire Stick without its USB power cable. He is working toward a tiered internet speed offer at DSV that will allow guests to get significantly more speed for a fee. He explained that since this is new technology, many of the staff do not know about it yet and may tell guests that they can't help them set up the devices, but Glenn is knowledgeable and is always willing to support the use of these devices when a guest asks him. Glenn confirmed that the Fire Stick, Roku Stick and some other similar devices can work with Marriott's LG TVs at DSV2. Be sure to contact Glenn if you have any issues with streaming devices at DSV. We plugged a USB power cable into the Fire Stick and its onscreen menu activated, then connected just fine with its browser-based captive portal authentication.Īlso, at BJRSanDiego's suggestion, we spoke to Engineering Supervisor Glenn Knorr and found him to be a smart, helpful guy. Thanks to taterhed for proving us with the solution to get our Fire Stick working at DSV2.
