Thank you Carly,

I took all those steps before posting which really is a waste of time if there is an outage at your level.  I then saw on Twitter about 10 hours after the issue that Roku is aware and fixing the problem.  It is now working .  It would be nice if there was an outage update on your site and check back. Rather than wondering if it's just an individual issue.
