HDMI port not working with 2018 iPad Pro

Despite repeated attempts, I still couldn't get my new TCL 4K Roku TV to "see" my 2018 iPad Pro, even when connected directly to high quality HDMI was connected cable. So I thought maybe Roku TV just doesn't "accept" iDevices. Then I decided to conduct an experiment. Adapter-MD826AM/dp/B009WHV3BM) and an HDMI cable of the same quality, my TV recognized both my iPhone and 2015 iPad Pro straight away. I then grabbed the Apple USB-C Multiport Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Apple-USB-C-Digital-Multiport-Adapter/dp/B00VU2K10G) to see what happened to my 2018 iPad Pro would. Instant success, of course. The TV faithfully reproduces the 2018 iPad Pro using Apple's own adapter. This Satechi product is being returned and is priced exactly the same as the Apple USB-C Multiport Adapter. Lesson Learned: Stick to Apple's own accessories and don't take third-party word for your supposedly 'compatible' products.
