So are many others. Roku stock is sinking and soon the entire company. What a waste, small investment in IT and they could have had a great product that sells itself.

Eunice, you obviously have not read the comments form DOZENS of uses in this thread! We have tried all those things. Further, many of us have stated that we have older Roku devices that work perfectly on our TVs. You must be a robot that spews out a standard reply when users share a problem. I have given up on Roku completely.
