Roku Offers Free HDMI Extenders for Streaming Stick Owners
| Cord Cutters News • • technology
Key Points:
- Roku offers a free HDMI extender for its Streaming Stick owners through an on-demand request system, helping users with TVs that have recessed or awkwardly positioned HDMI ports avoid connectivity issues without unnecessary waste.
- Unlike competitors like Amazon Fire TV Stick and Google Chromecast, which include HDMI extenders in the box, Roku's approach reduces packaging costs and environmental impact by distributing extenders only to users who need them.
- To obtain the extender, users must submit a form on Roku’s website with their device’s serial number for verification, ensuring eligibility and preventing misuse; the extender is then shipped free of charge, typically arriving within a few weeks.
- The extender improves device performance by mitigating signal interference, enhancing ventilation to prevent overheating, and resolving fitment
