That’s one of the very first generation of Roku devices from 2010. It hasn’t been supported in some time and the last OS for it was 3.1. (The current OS is 12.) It might be looking for a server that no longer exists.
Thanks. I knew it was an old system, got it because I wanted the RCA outputs & those seem to have been dropped in later versions.
Yes, the last Roku to have composite video came out in 2017.
I thought I was a hold-out by not upgrading to HD and HDMI until 2008. Once I did, I wondered why I waited so long. However, there are gadgets on amazon, ebay etc. that can do conversions such as HDMI to composite video. I think that would probably be better than trying to find a Roku old enough to have composite video, yet new enough to be supported for years to come.
Found this HDMI to RF Coax converter:
...would solve the problem if it works. Does anyone have any experience with this or other HDMI-RF converter?
Hah! I just noticed that one of the pictures for the RF device shows a Roku home screen on a TV with knobs and rabbit ears! Cute! And one of the channels on the home screen is 4K spotlight! 😀
Is RF what you want? Because that’s generally considered “even worse” than composite. I was thinking more like this.
However, I have no experience with that particular device – just something I found.
