When you first plug it in you should see a "Let's get started" screen or "Choose your language".  You don't see that? 

Try pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds with the power connected.

Tried that, got to the software update and got error 003 after connecting to the internet. Did get a message saying connected. Tried to do a usb update but its saying my hardware ID is wrong. This is flat out stupid what they are doing with these TV's. I have to just throw this out and buy a new one now. Thank you ROKU for messing up everything.

    Hey, moffobr.

    We're sorry you're experiencing an issue activating your Roku, and we'd like to figure this out!

    Have you tried using a different internet connection, such as a Mobile Hotspot, to see if you can proceed with the activation process? 

    Let us know what you find out. 

    Thanks,
    The Roku Community Team
