Roku TV won't update software

My Roku TV was last updated Oct/2022. I would not have noticed if it hadn't been for one of the streaming platforms I use requiring the software on the TV to be updated. But it won't update. Gives me error code 008. The version the TV is currently using is 11.5.0. Anyone ever figure this issue out? TIA

I followed the instructions to format a flash drive, download the software manually to the flash drive and try to update the TV. I get the same error message.

@Brenkars,

Thanks for the update and for trying!

Do you have a mobile hotspot that we can use to see if you're able to surpass the update?

Keep us posted!
