Im having issues with my HDMI and connecting Other devic to my Roku.

The fact there is no support number that'll answer me right now is obscene but whatever. My Roku TV has connected perfectly fine to my laptop a few months ago and my Xbox literally a month ago. However, it does not display my devices at all through the HDMI screens even though it acknowledges that it's plugged in, even with the mirroring to my laptop it says it's connected so I know my cables are perfectly fine. So I have no idea why my devices won't display even when messing with the hdmi modes- I've tried all the different modes for both. I even tired switching the cables and no luck. Is there anyone who can possibly give me an idea what's wrong?

      I am using a Roku Ultra. I normally use Netflix, Prime and Disney Plus. Prime and Disney work flawlessly but Netflix (on an irregular basis) stops and  Roku screen referencing the 2.2 HDMI requirements and the Power off, unplug, plug in solution. ONLY Netflix. I have a 2 week old Onkyo connected to the Ultra. All HDMI are 8k/10k and new. I have rebooted in Settings and followed the reconnect instructions. Occasionally returning to the main Netflix screen solves  the problem and that session is trouble free.

      I am having this problem too.  I will see if I still have the box with the cable.  I do not remember if I had the cable come with the tv.  I am using the cox cable contour cable.  I am going to see if a new cable will work.  Since I've had this, it has always says this Is the signal on and then turns on contour.

        Louisevezina, it sounds like you don't want to create a Roku account and just use your TV as a "dumb" TV.  Is that what you're trying to do?

        By the way, nothing is asking you for money.  Roku accounts are free to create and Roku devices are free to use.  You can bypass the step where it asks for a credit card, but even if you add a credit card to your account it will only be charged if you choose to purchase or subscribe to something and it can always be removed from your account.
