They talk to each other, and they didn't work the first try. I had to have the LCD monitor on first, to get them to communicate. After that it has worked OK. If the monitor gets turned off, it will display a 'Do you want to continue watching ????' when it is turned back on. The Roku also has a menu setting to turn off a display or TV. This is the low end version, and I use it in my bedroom, next to my computer. It was bought at Best Buy about six months ago for $30. It only has a USB port for power, and a HDMI port. The OEM power supply is crap. It is too close to the actual current draw of the Roku, so I power it from my main computer. So far, it has worked well. It is on 24/7 to help mask my Tinnitus. > You can search on EBay for 1st or 2nd generation Roku boxes; they have > analog outputs H Thanks, that's a good idea. I ordered a different brand HDMI adapter which should be in Saturday. If that doesn't work, I'm done. He'll either have to do without or replace the TV. The guy is like 40 minutes each way away from me. Not to mention I spent about two hours with him when he was asking about Rokus, terrestrial antennas, etc. to get away from cable. No matter what happens, this was a loss. I've done other stuff for him so I don't mind giving him the time, but I'll give it one more shot with the new HDMI adapter. If that doesn't work, I'll give him your info and see if he wants to try that (by himself!) |

| "malua mada!" <fritzo2ster@gmail.com>: Jun 04 04:51PM -0700 Most failures are from wire fatigue, either at the neck of the probe or at the neck of the plug. Reasonably easy to fix, never really lasts though. |
