My Roku decided to Reset. Can't find apps such as FuboTV

I can't believe this: I have had my Roku for years. All of a sudden it decided to reset and now most of my apps are gone. I can't find apps such as FuboTV or AppleTV. Does anyone have had this issue? I think it's time for Google Stick.

    If this happened to me, the first thing I would do is restart the Roku.

    These things are just special purpose computers. Like their big brothers sometimes clearing things out by restarting them can correct problems. (For Roku TV users reading this: if you have "Fast TV start" enabled, turning it off and back on just puts it into and out of a standby state and does NOT give you a complete restart.)

    Depending on your Roku model you'll find the "System restart" option under "Settings > System > Power", or on models without a Power option, under "Settings > System".

    If a restart doesn't do it, or if you don't have sufficient control with the remote to navigate the Roku menus, you can also restart by pulling the power plug to the Roku for a few seconds then plugging it back in and waiting for it to restart.
