I hooked this up to my OTA digital tuner and it worked just fine. It must be some incompatibility with ROKU. As such, I don't feel it's fair to disparage this product because ROKU didn't work correctly. The company Cable Matters replied promptly to my original comment with a fair and helpful reply, so I am happy with th device. Just beware that the ROKU HD may not play well with this (in my experience). I am giving this two stars unless I figure this out. I bought this to hook up a ROKU box to my projector. I did not like the picture quality of Composite Video out. I have my HDMI cable running from the ROKU to the Cable Matters converter box, then from the box to my VGA projector. When I go to ROKU, all the menu screens work find, including up to the "Play now" on any episode of any Netflix, Plex, CBS, etc channel. It even displays "loading now". However, as soon as the episode is loaded, the screen blanks. I have a Viewtv At-163 ATSC Digital TV Converter Box and Media Player w/ Recording PVR Function / HDMI Out / Coaxial Out / Composite Out / USB Input that is connected to the projector via component video through VGA adapter and works flawlessly in 480P, 720p, and 1080p so I know my projector can handle the different resolutions. I have tried the converter with and without the micro-usb cable, so I do not know what else to try. Hopefully the manufacturer will have a suggestion, and I wont have wasted a SECOND purchase on trying to get HDMI out of my ROKU to projector. Review: Works great for connecting HP Chromebox to old VGA monitor - Bought this HDMI-to-VGA adapter (which is shipped with an included USB power cable) for pairing a new HP Chromebox (CB1-014) for use with a very old LCD. Works great - simple plug-and-play. Allows use of an old 15pin D-sub VGA cable to the LCD monitor. (Note: While HDMI cables provide sound, VGA does not. Thus a person would need a separate 3.5mm audio cable to provide sound to the speakers being used. Since i already had said 3.5mm stereo cable for providing sound, there was nothing else for me to purchase.) Note: The Chromebox clearly labels that the front two ports as USB Power ports (noting that they provide both power and data connections.) Be certain to power this HDMI-to-VGA adapter with the PROVIDED power cable (USB-A male to micro-USB-B male power cable.) Using that power cable connected with a simple USB data port might not provide enough power - idk really - since first i do not know the required min power to drive this this HDMI-to-VGA adapter. I am assuming that any negative posts about this item are related to ppl not using the PROVIDED power cable or possibly connecting that cable to a data-only USB port - but really i am guessing here. (Note: The USB power cable plugs into a USB-A power port and also a USB micro-B port on the block-shaped part of this HDMI-to-VGA adapter.) ## Features - Portable VGA to HDMI adapter for monitor connects a computer, laptop, or other device with HDMI to a monitor or projector with a VGA port; A VGA cable (sold separately) is required to connect from the adapter to a monitor or projector; Carry this lightweight adapter in your laptop bag for a business presentation from your computer or use it on the desktop to extend your screen to a monitor - USB powered active HDMI VGA adapter has built-in IC chip to improve compatibility between equipment and displays; The RGB to HDMI adapter has optional USB power to boost the signal from computers with low power HDMI ports such as the MacBook Pro with Retina Display or Raspberry Pi - Legacy companion VGA HDMI adapter for an older 4:3 aspect projector or TV with VGA; Connect to existing monitors or projectors with VGA input from the latest computers or desktop barebones; Audio is not supported over the VGA cable, it must be transmitted separately - Full HD video support for resolutions up to 1920x1080 including 720p, 1600x1200 for compatibility with most VGA displays; Gold-plated connectors improve the signal performance, molded strain relief provides durability and the 4 inch cable tail reduces stain on the HDMI port of your computer - HDMI to VGA compatible for connecting a computer, Kano Computer Kit, Raspberry Pi Kit, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U or other device to a monitor or projector; Devices such as DVD or Blu-Ray players that require HDCP for viewing copyrighted content are not supported by this HDMI to VGA adapter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00879DM56 | | Best Sellers Rank | #25 in HDMI-to-VGA Adapters #4,069 in Computer Cables & Interconnects | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Computers, laptops, projectors, monitors, Kano Computer Kit, Raspberry Pi Kit, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and other devices with HDMI ports.

The new connector for the lap top doesn't work with the cable from the monitor so I had to buy a adapter. I bought it at Best Buy (yep, sucker....) because I wanted it to work the day I bought the computer. It took the guy forever to scour the back peg walls and find it, so I thank him for that, but the one he found first is the one he brought up to me and it was $50. Yikes. So I went to Amazon, found this one, ordered it, received it very fast (I only bought the computer last Friday night and I already had the adapter by Thursday!) and then, last night, the 1 week anniversary of buying the computer I returned the $50 adapter to back to them. Caution: when I connected this adapter to the computer and monitor the first time, the screen did NOT display on the monitor. I thought I'd have to return it and was sad but then, against all natural inclination, I read the 2 page flyer that came with it and it tells how to adjust your settings and Voila! works great and saved me over $25 even including postage. Highly recommend! No need to pay more (now I wonder if I could have got the cheaper one even....a segment on 20/20 last night compared a $6 tv connector cable with a $300 cable and there was no difference....) but I liked the reviews for this one and one of the cheaper ones did seem to cause people trouble.
