Hi @HanF1 

Do you mean a HDMI input port on your television?

Hi @HanF1 

You don't need a USB port on the television, just a HDMI port with the NOW Stick.

Where for the power use the supplied power adapter and plug it into your mains power socket.

Out of curiosity what is the make and model number of your TV ?

Hi @HanF1 

Plug the NOW Stick into one of the HDMI ports on the back of the television and for running the power to the Stick use the supplied power adapter that should have come with the Stick.

If you haven't got the supplied power adapter, then something like a 5v DC 1 to 2 A USB charger should do the trick.

Hi @HanF1 

With the NOW Stick you should have the following items:-

One NOW Stick.

One NOW Smart voice remote controller.

One power adapter (USB type rated somewhere around 5V DC 1A).

One micro to stand USB cable which connects to the NOW Stick and power adapter.

Do you have all these above items or is the Stick missing anything from the above list ?

The real question is how on earth did you get a NOW stick as they are no longer made nevermind sell them?

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help
