Hey y’all My tv has no usb entry, only HDMI. My router is too far away from my tv/chromecast, so the connection is trash.

Does a HDMI to USB adapter do so, that I can access my USB I put movies on? So that I basically gain a USB port on my TV? I have no clue how it works and I can’t find anything about it. Thanks in advance 😇

    Your TV does not need a USB port. The USB port for a Chromecast or Roku is only to deliver power.

    Take an old phone charger, connect the USB cable to it and your streaming stick, then HDMI to the TV.

    Tada.

    Sorry I don’t understand. There is a hdmi from tv to round chromecast thing. Then from chromecast to power outlet. I don’t get where you want me to put usb, if I put chromecast in phone charger, which only has one usb entry. And I need the usb to work in tv not chromecast. Sorry I’m not smart in this
