Yes mkellogg,
I had similar results if you look at my post on page 18 of this thread. 5 Bars - then Black Screen - on 1 particular TV. I'm afraid this issue has far more underlying issues than this team of stagnant non professionals will be able to address. I think the problem is connected to poor coding, along with subpar tuner hardware that has found it's way into 100's of thousands of TVs. I also think that as almost is always the case, when a company hits a huddle that is not in the favor for potential profit, they all do one thing. Start new, with new hardware, new software, and collapse support for the ones who bought their products and kept them alive to begin with. I think you will see a change if/when A.) New tuner Hardware is Tested, Approved, and selected for Production - with ALL New roku sets, and B.) New code is written, tested, approved for said sets. My apologies, but, if i may get off topic, briefly: My current issue with the bars/or lack of, has been surpassed by a worse ota tuner/firmware catastrophe. When watching OTA channels on my Newest 10.5.0 (manufac. end of 2021), the audio and video fall hopelessly out of sync. The program will Replay - Repeat a portion of dialog, then garble forward trying to catch up, sometimes it does, most times it's off Seconds. This is all relative to usb and live tv pause functionality (and yes i have tried 20 diff usb, 2readers , 2+ microsd). I called the manufacturer - Know what they basically said? 'Maybe you need to contact ROKU - here's the phone number'. what a crock. so, basically, if you want to watch live ota with the new one, you either pull out the usb and cancel pause features, or listen to repeats, garbles, and try to get back in sync by changing channels, rewinding, pause/play. What a D* Mess. I'm about ready to let this new one meet the box, and get back the Westinghouse they castrated the firmware on, down to 10.0.2 (that nobody else seems to have gotten or seen). Whew.
