Hi RenoJim,
Assuming you live in Reno, NV, I live in Sparks, NV and I find your question interesting. My problem is that the Roku Channel on Samsung Smart TV (NOT Roku device) stopped working a week ago after working well for years. My other apps still work fine. I do not use a VPN and use Spectrum for internet service.
My Samsung Smart TV does allow me to block ads and I did turn on ad-blocking but I do not limit content in any way. I am 75 and my wife is 74 so we don't care about seeing adult content.
We have received Emails from Roku saying they have elevated our problem to second-level Roku support.
Good luck.
BigTom, yep (South Meadows). I've been thinking of trying it on my Samsung TV (I won at R.C. Willey last year), but I haven't set up its "smart" features (oddly enough, because I don 't feel like agreeing to their legal terms). Have you tried turning off the ad blocking?
Here's a joke for you that I heard shortly after I moved to Reno 20 years ago:
Reno, so close to Hades you can see Sparks! 🙂 Of course, I don't agree.
