Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience regarding this issue.

We believe this issue has been resolved. We would recommend trying to activate your Roku device again to see if the issue is resolved. Please be aware that you may need to request another email activation link in the activation process again.

If you are still experiencing this issue, please feel free to let us know with the exact steps you are using to replicate the issue.

I posted this as a fix that worked for me:

Solved.  When I got my latest email from Roku with the activation link, rather than click on the link I copied it and pasted it into a different web browser and it worked like it should.  I'm a Chrome user, but I pasted it into Safari and that's what worked for me.

For those still having problems, you should also try clearing the cache of your internet browser.  It may simply be loading the cached page you visited prior when received error.  When going to the page and receiving error, either Refresh page (normally F5), or go to your browser's Settings, and look for an option that allows you to clear your History or Browsing Data.  Depends on which browser you are using, but normally under Privacy or the like.  [Can select all options but either uncheck Passwords, or exclude Passwords so you don't lose any stored passwords stored by your browser].  At minimum, you want to clear History, Cookies, and Cached Images and Files.

@My74ghia, you're supposed to click on that link, not post it here.  It's expired and you'll have to try again.  Restart/reboot your Roku.

It has been like this all weekend. You can’t talk to anyone at Roku. I’m giving them til Wednesday to resolve, then I’m going to return the two devices to Amazon.

Did you figure anything out to get activate? Are we being scammed?
