First, thanks for the response!

The Roku Youtube app started saying "No connection Connect to the internet now, or set it up later" on Oct 16, a Monday. Youtube app had been working properly every single day prior to Oct 16 (and I did watch it daily). Now it just gives the "no connection" error. All the other apps are working properly.

After a few days I started searching for others that had seen the "No connection Connect to the internet now, or set it up later" message and ended up here in the roku.com forum. I tried all the usual fixes (power, reset, software update, re-install) but nothing seems to help. I don't have another active Roku device I can get to easily unfortunately.

I eventually brought my Roku to a friends house, in case my IP address or something associated with my connection was somehow interfering - but I got the same result. All the other apps worked on my friend's connection, but Youtube still says "No connection Connect to the internet now, or set it up later".

It is so bizarre. I have resorted to using another video app, called Rumble and it works quite well but I would love to get Youtube working again.

Thanks for your time!

        Hi again,

        Still getting the same "No connection Connect to the internet now, or set it up later" error.

        One extra bit of information is that after I uninstalled and re-installed the youtube roku app, it no longer cycled the gray background Youtube animation. Now, and forever after the re-install, the Roku Youtube app just locks-up after launch.
