RCA 55" Roku TV worked fine until 7/6/2020

When changing channels or viewing the guide, the volume drops to inaudible level.  It resumes to normal after 10 or 15 seconds.  The problem coincided with the awful new streaming guide added to the OTA guide.  Changing channels is also very slow.  I called Curtis International (RCA) because their website is completely useless.  I asked them to remove the latest forced update, and to leave my TV alone in the future.  They said no, but emailed me a list of tasks I could undertake if I wanted some service:

Good day!

I decided it would be quicker to order a new "dumb" TV, and give this one to Goodwill / Salvation Army.

Dear Roku / RCA, Less virtue signaling, more listening to customers.
