Roku has a streaming package which is a remote and a usb-looking device. Normally $40, it’s half the price on Black Friday. The odds of me shopping on that day are 10000000000-to-1. It’s an in-store only sale. I’m hoping an online sale will be available.

If I go with Roku, do I need the tv remote I can’t find plus the hdmi outlet?

Chromecast device on sale, too, but the same issues arise as in remote.

I can buy the tv remote easily. I just need $200. Yeah, right. I can buy a new 40” tv with remote for $139 on Black Friday or was it $99?

I can’t get another remote so need a solution. My electronics expert was off today but she’s the one who said the Netflix app was $100 ... so I trust y’all more. HDMI seems doable but I’ll know tomorrow. Remote is not and that’s why Roku and chromecast caught my attention

And, yes, I know Google can help. After I get through the spam and thesis’ written about this, the question isn’t answered clearly. I’m not looking to add my own hdmi outlet, retire a remote or split wires to develop a hack into the tv.
