Help. This scrolling screen is horrible service.  We can’t select settings, home nor a channel. It’s Roku’s responsibility to solve this. Selling a defective product over and over is dangerous to your bottom line. We’ve used this product for several years but the new device we have now is shoddy workmanship.  Do you have a reputation you value?

The electrical specs might not match to your device.

Try other device if the same result.

@Mellon1-

Have you tried restarting your Roku?

These things are just special purpose computers. Like their big brothers sometimes clearing things out by restarting them can correct problems. (For Roku TV users reading this: if you have "Fast TV start" enabled, turning it off and back on just puts it into and out of a standby state and does NOT give you a complete restart.)

Depending on your Roku model you'll find the "System restart" option under "Settings > System > Power", or on models without a Power option, under "Settings > System".

If a restart doesn't do it, or if you don't have sufficient control with the remote to navigate the Roku menus, you can also restart by pulling the power plug to the Roku for a few seconds then plugging it back in and waiting for it to restart.
