1. A streaming media device, comprising:
a printed circuit board hosting components configured to access internet data through a network interface;
an audio/visual connector linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted for connection to an audio/visual device, wherein the audio/visual connector is compatible and operates in accordance with both a first audio/visual interface and a second audio/visual interface that is different than the first audio/visual interface, the first audio/visual interface having sufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board and the second audio/visual interface having insufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board; and
a power connector linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the power connector is configured to bypass receiving power based on the audio/visual connector utilizing the first audio/visual interface and configured to receive power based on the audio/visual connector utilizing the second audio/visual interface.
