For that, you’ll need to step up to one of the better Roku models. no voice search, volume control or private listening. It also means that the entire system is IR-based, and that means that the remote can’t do anything beyond basic functions - i.e. The first is that its diminutive size would’ve made it easy to tuck behind a TV but, because it needs line-of-sight to the remote, it has to sit out on the shelf. The inclusion of all these accessories is actually somewhat surprising – while other manufacturers are all too happy to send you out the door without all the necessary equipment in hand, the Roku Express is a complete kit.īut there are three big problems here. Roku also includes a two-foot-long HDMI cable in every box, a remote and double-sided adhesive tape that will allow you to stick the Express onto your TV or on any surface around it that still gives it line-of-sight to the remote. Roku ships the Express with a microUSB-to-USB cable, which can be plugged directly into your TV if your TV has a USB port on it, and a wall adapter if the first option doesn’t work. Like the Roku Streaming Stick, the Roku Express is powered via its microUSB port. The comparison to the Stick goes beyond size, however. But, the benefit to its small form factor is that you can throw it in a bag or store in on your media shelf without it taking up too much real estate. At 0.7 x 3.4 x 1.4 inches (H x W x D) it’s nearly the same size as the Roku Streaming Stick and, funny enough, even smaller than the remote that comes inside the box. We suggest you find the model number and post it with additional detailed information on how the TV won't start, and create a complete new post so to receive far more attention from the Roku community.While the Roku Express’s performance might fit into the category of streaming video box, its stature puts it more in the category of a streaming stick. Third, if you can't access the settings since my TV wont start, a firmware upgrade is out of the question anyway. When proved, items sell faster and for more money, and you're far less likely to be taken advantage of when service or repairs are involved. As a footnote, when selling or servicing anything you own, please go out of your way to provide a model number, part number, or the first 10 digits of a vehicles VIN. As an analogy, it's like asking for spark plugs for your car and not knowing anything out it. There's virtually nothing we can do without a brand name and model number of the device in question. Second, forums like these can only function with information. These tags unfortunately DO NOT supply the information of which Roku streamer version is internally integrated with the TV and online documentation from manufacturers is sadly fairly ignorant. Here are a few things to consider.įirst, the model number and serial number should be on a sticker applied to the back (sometimes bottom) of all manufacturers televisions. TVs work quite a bit different from Roku's own streaming devices, especially when it comes to serial numbers. ? - Roku Streaming Stick (MHL) - 3400X / 3420XĥS - Roku Streaming Stick (4th Gen) - 3600XĬT - Roku Streaming Stick (6th Gen) - 3800XĢL - Roku Streaming Stick (2nd Gen) - 3500X At the bottom of the list are the links to both Roku's hardware specifications and the Roku Wiki page for additional information on each model. The list is neither complete or 100% accurate, but it's an improvement to what has been posted online in the past.Ī more accurate list would have included three-digit serial numbers, but that makes the list much longer and more confusing. Below is a compiled list of two-digit serial-to-model numbers that cover known Roku boxes no TVs or sound bars.
