This is a Roku Premiere which does not stick to the back of the TV, so an HDMI extender is useless in my case.

I may just have to go back to using my Android Smart TV to stream, though I was much happier with the performance of the Roku. On the Roku, apps were very stable and loaded much quicker. My Android TV is sluggish and loads very slowly, and apps crashed every so often. Maybe the migration over to GoogleTV might be better, but the rollout hasn't yet happened on my TV model yet.
