Possible? No wifi, don't want wifi, wifi gives me a terrible headache and upset stomach. Would love to have ROKU but know zero. Tiny TV has USB port.

I have an old Roku 3, which has an Ethernet port and HDMI.

I don't know how to connect HDMI to USB, but would imagine it can be done.

Don't have Amazon prime, matter of principle. (if I were male I'd be an old coot.) The macbook died and now I have a Vaio which I needed in order to use Audition, which I do with volunteer work. I'll look into the firestick but suspect I'll have to talk to salespeople before I can find out, and for the near future that's going to be impossible. I'm not really looking to get a new big TV because there have been repeated instances where I lost everything I had and I just stopped getting new expensive stuff.

You can get a YOOGE TV for less than $400 now.

It was probably 2k+ the last time you seriously looked.

The Roku Ultra has an Ethernet port for wired networks.
