Bought a Roku Express.

Just seeing this but I bought a Roku Express a few months ago. It came with a crappy HDMI cable which prohibited streaming while posting the message that (sic) I needed the proper HDMI cable! Luckily I still had the one from my Roku 2 so started using that. I also noticed that the Express remote's range is not as wide as the Roku 2. No wonder they were selling it for $19.98.

If you have :
'smart tv", You Tube is probably already loaded. I have a dumb tv, do I need the Roku to get it.

does your 'dumb' tv have a HDMI port? My Roku plugs into that. There's lots of content available through Roku that's not readily available through cable. I'm assuming that most streaming sticks are the same.
