I am unable to do that. When I turn the tv on I only see the error message about the software update. I am unable to access any other screen

Roku TVs are unique that you can perform a firmware update via a USB stick. This can't be done on regular Roku players. Go to this web site and enter your make and model of Roku TV and download the firmware to a USB drive. This Roku support page outlines the steps to take in detail.

Okay. Once I download the update onto a USB stick how is the tv going to download it? It is still stuck on error message.

Best I can remember the only time I ever used this method was the TV recognized the USB drive with the updated firmware and installed it automatically. The help page I linked before I might have more detail.
