I have a lg tv but for some reason the hdmi ports don't work, can i make it work with the av port?

I had trouble with my hdmi ports not working and I read somewhere that if you unplug everything plugged to the tv including the power cord and wait 30 minutes and then plug everything back in it fixed the problem. It worked for my tv.

Do I have to pay an activation fee, if I already have a Roku account?

NO!!! I have been with Roku for 10-15 years & I've NEVER been charged an activation fee. I set up my new Express this past Friday 07/31/2020. When the screen came up, it gave me an activation code. All I had to do was go to the Roku website & log-in. Then I clicked on "Activate" in the upper right of the screen. A box came up asking for my activation code. I entered the code & in less than 30 seconds I saw the "Welcome to Roku" come across my TV screen. Any chance that you owed Roku for past charges??? During the log-in process, I did notice that they had a disclaimer that "Roku never charges to activate their boxes". I hope you have it cleared up by now!!! Since several people have asked this question, .I'm wondering IF some sellers aren't trying to scam buyers. I never call the 800 number that comes with any product. I go to their website to get the advertised toll free number. I set up my account completely online. The only thing I needed was my Roku username & password as well as my username & password for every premium channel that I belonged to like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc

Do you need a smart tv to use it?

We use our Roku Express (purchased in 2018) on a very old tv with no HDMI port with an RCA to HDMI converter that supports PAL/NTSC that we purchased on Amazon for about $12. We plugged in our RCA cable into one side converter and then to the TV, (It is the 3 pronged red, yellow, and white ended cable we used to use to connect our VCRs to the TV back in the 1990s that we never threw away-ha ha!). Amazon carries RCA cables for less than $6.

Can i use this with a samsung smart tv?

I use it with my 2019 50" Samsung so-called 'Smart' TV and the reason I bought it was because my Samsung TV has very limited memory so I couldn't download the apps I wanted to use. My TV has some good apps pre-installed like Netflix, YouTube etc. but they take up the majority of the memory, you can't delete them and you're left with very little memory to download any more apps. The Roku solved that issue.
