How to fix black screen and no sound on live tv.

Same issues as above.  Factory reset 4 devices with no luck.  Two are standalone Roku TV's while two others are sticks.  Been working with Roku tech support but no luck.  Seeing the one about power issues, I tried one of the two, directly into the wall socket.  No deal.  Not sure what to do next.  It's very annoying.  It's weird that all of my streaming services that I pay for or get free work fine.  Just not the Roku channel.

  • Does this issue occur specifically on The Roku Channell? If so, what version/build is the channel? (This can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button).

I did so and forwarded the information to Roku tech support.  Waiting for their recommendations.  All 4 units have been factory reset, all zip codes are in line.  The router and modem were reset and tests done to make sure they were optimal.  It appears to be a software glitch because all of my other apps work fine.  My mobile phone app is having the same issues.
