 In today's this blog I'm gonna unbox and I'm going to show you how to set up your roku streaming stick plus  well hey guys juan here thanks for stopping by my blogger and checking out this blog so if you're watching this I imagine that you're in the market to buy this guy right here the roku streaming stick plus this is a great little device because it does uh stream your movies and your video in the hd 4k hdr content and the great thing about  the roku  platform is that it has all the apps just about any app that you can think of it's got it available on this streaming platform unlike something like the fire stick that does have some limitations the roku they're the first ones that came into the streaming market and they are still leaders as far as any kind of streaming uh apps are available this thing's gonna have it now another great thing about this thing here is it's the best 4k hdr streamer for the money so you get the most bang for your buck whenever you buy one of these right here and this particular one has the quad core processor it's very portable it's I got the 4k spotlight channel and then you can search all your top channels on this thing here it's very good when it comes to the wireless technology it's got free local tv built into it and then it's got the voice remote so let's go ahead and unbox it so that way you guys can get a good look at the remote control and the stick itself okay once you do get it out of the box what you have here is you got the quick start guide to help you get started but if you're watching this post I'll show you all the steps necessary to get it set up but it does come with the cable that connects into the roku stick itself right here it gives you two duracell batteries and then there's your remote control now the reason that I did go with this streaming stick is because this one does  have the volume control right here on  the side and an on and off button here at the top some of your cheaper roku sticks do not have that option so unless you want to go with two different remotes it might be wise to spend the extra few dollars to get this one here over here on this side you have the cables that get connected into your power brick there for the ac  adapter in case you want to get it  plugged into a wall now there are a couple of other ways that you can get power to the stick you can do it through this cable here or you can plug it in the usb right into your tv so I'll show you that a little bit later also another closer look here at the remote control there are some default buttons that are already built in and installed on there you got your netflix your hulu your sling which I don't know anybody that really uses sling but it does have the disney plus on there so this is the newer style of roku stick that does have that disney plus streaming button on there okay so I'll go ahead and get the remote or the batteries put into the remote and get this thing set up okay well the first thing that you want to do is take your roku stick here and plug in you looks like a micro USB cable right into the side just like that now we have the usb portion right here now what you could do is you could go ahead and plug this into your an hdmi port an empty hdmi port that you have on your television and then plug the USB in into a slot that you have open on your tv and that would be enough to give this thing power or if your tv does not have an empty USB port here that's where you would utilize the extra cable here and ac adapter what you would do is plug this guy here into there and then the other end of this cable is where you would then plug in the USB portion like so and then this thing would get power from plugging this into a wall outlet so you have two different ways of getting power to your roku stick now my tv does have the USB so I'm going to go ahead and unhook this guy and plug this into the tv okay on the back of your tv here you should have some of these hdmi HDMI inputs I'm gonna put mine in hdmi one and then I'm gonna put the other USB portion right in here and plug those two components in okay once you have them plugged in they'll look like that and the stick then talks to the remote so i like this setup here because it's real minimal not a whole lot of cable management going on no extra cords, you know hanging down past the tv and be invisible I like this setup here but if your tv doesn't have that plug it into the wall okay once you turn on your tv and you go to the right hdmi input this screen comes up here to get started you select whatever language that you want it in it starts to scan for your wireless networks and then you just select your particular wi-fi after you find your wi-fi go ahead and enter in your wi-fi password once you enter in your wi-fi password it'll start to look for your wireless connection and then once it's connected those check marks will be marked then you'll come to this screen here and then it'll just do an update to get your roku set up to the latest firmware software you'll select okay and then you'll just let it do its thing okay after it updates it does its  little logo jumping um video here okay then you'll come to this the screen here where it does an auto detect display type where just analyzes your hdmi connection to know if you have like a 720 or 1080 or 4k tv so you just clicked or just hit okay okay I realized that mine was a 1080 the resolution I'll go ahead and click to go automatic okay so now the next step is it'll check your remote and then you'll just hit okay it'll ask if music is playing music is playing online so I'll say yes you music is playing and then it detects that the music has stopped and then you'll just hit okay on yes  that the music has stopped  if that works it'll say success your remote is now set up and paired okay then you'll get to this screen here where you have to activate your roku player where you enter in your email address now some people may question do I have to do this can I just use it without entering in any information the answer is no you do have to set up a roku the account where you enter in your email address and credit card information now they won't just charge your credit card willy nilly without ever letting you know so don't you don't fear that but you do have to enter one in there to get started another quick little tip I noticed on this newer player here it gives you a remote control battery life signal that pops up periodically so that's kind of nice, it lets you know how much battery life do you have on your batteries all right so then go to this screen here to just enter in your email address and get your roku account set up or if you already have one set up you just log in with your credentials okay next it'll get to a screen where it does ask you to verify your email so you can just jump over to your smartphone or a computer click on that email to answer it and then for example I'm on my mobile I'll go ahead and fill in the rest of the information via my mobile to get the account set up okay once you finish the steps on your mobile it automatically updates on your tv and it starts to pre-install any apps that you may have selected okay once that's complete I'll say all done you just click over and it takes you to your home screen here and on your roku okay then it takes you to your roku home the screen here where you just can click over and here's all your different apps that you can watch you have to get your account set up if you do have like netflix or uh hulu disney plus you have to enter in all your credentials but yeah this is this is a roku I do like their setup here their platform um it's very user friendly easy to learn just you know right out of the box but yeah this is how you get it all installed hopefully this blog helped you out  love to have you back in the next one take care bye.
