      All the other sites play great except ROKU. When I take my remote and click on the ROKU box the movies and tv shows come up for my pleasure. When I click on a program movie or tv show it keeps reverting back to the roku box of the picture I am choosing. I have done all the resets the computer pages tell me to do. A picture like any tv show or a movie just keeps reloading back to the description box of that show. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for your concern.
