Software update rollback option
How can I roll back to the original OS of our Roku TV? Each "update" that comes out makes the TV more and more frustrating to use and it is so unresponsive now. Very very very frustrating when All ...

Wow - I'm impressed by the quick response.
This is an LG 65LF5700-UA and currently has software version 15.0.4 Build 5534. I have tried to disable all additional menus, set wallpaper to most basic options, etc but it is still frustratingly slow.
I gave up on using it for streaming years ago and added a separate plug-in Roku for streaming channels, but I still have to use the built in Roku TV to access the OTA channels. The OS updates have made that nearly intolerable.
Granted the TV is 8-9 years old, but software updates should not be what makes a TV completely unusable when it is otherwise in perfectly good working order.
I have a few other Roku TVs that are newer but notice they are progressively slowing so fear the same fate for them... Roku pushing software updates that force an upgrade and more unnecessary electronic waste.
Thanks for the extra info! dougietwoshades
We'd like to clarify, this is a Roku device connected to an LG TV, correct? If so, could you share the specific Roku device model? Are there any troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?
Hoping to hear from you soon!

No, this is a Roku TV. LG 65LF5700-UA
I had to connect a 2nd Roku stick to it several years ago because the streaming channels had already gotten pathetically and frustratingly slow. Now the basic TV functions (necessary for watching OTA) have gotten to be the same.
Thanks for clarifying it, dougietwoshades!
We'd like to know what steps you have taken so far, so we can explore more troubleshooting that we haven't tried yet.
