ROKU 3 - TV Sound only- No pictures - Yes, it's updating

Im using an older ROKU 3 and an older TV that is not a smart tv - standard 1080P. Settings show that I am updated, I can get to the Home Screen. In particular when I go to YOUTUBE TV, I get sound only and no picture. Any suggestions? Do you think a card would help? Thanks, M

If you're speaking of a microSD card, no it wouldn't help.  Have you restarted the Roku 3 as well as unplugging the power from the TV for several seconds to restart it?  Try a different HDMI cable, a different HDMI input on your TV, or a different TV to see if anything helps.  Does it only happen on Youtube TV?
