My 93" doesn't have the connection but I don't really need to connect my cell phone to it so at this point.
Seems like Roku device wants to use a mobile device connection when it doesn't need to. Seems that they are using the standard to produce a device that can send the data in raw form, likely to keep the device small, cheap, and light.
"So if you bought a new TV a year ago, like me... and it isn't smart, like mine isn't... you still won't be able to use the Roku Streaming Stick. Bummer."
Sounds like a plan to produce a product that nobody can use. Sounds like a product failure due to not analyzing the intended audience. Bummer for Roku as most TVs sold now will probably be "smart" TVs that can stream Netflix, Youtube, Pandora, etc. ...or for people like me, I use my Blu-ray player for to use those features and I'm sure its what most people will do.
