Thanks for the additional details about this, @Lilchrismedia.

Could you tell us if you're trying to cast content from your phone to your Roku TV?

If so, you may refer to this link: How to cast apps like YouTube or Netflix from your phone to a TV.

Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks,

Rey

Yes. And before you ask only this TV does it. I have multiple smart TV's in my house

Thanks for your response!

Could you tell us what Roku TV this is? Is this a Roku-branded TV? Or Roku-partnered TV (ONN, TCL, and Hisense)? Have you also tried the suggested options above to see if they work for you?

Let us know more about this, and we'll work further. Thanks!

Best regards,

Rey
