My new out of the box Roku TV is doing the same. Stuck on “updating channels” for more than 2 hour.

Same thing here. My Westinghouse Roku tv is one week old and was working fine, then when trying to open certain apps, or open channel properties for any app, it told me it was not connected to the internet even though I verified that it was. Tried resetting the network connection, that didn't help so I did a factory reset from the Roku system menu, started the setup again and now it just spins on the Updating channels screen. My other Roku devices are working fine. Not a happy camper.

Mine just magically started working, I wonder if there was an issue at Roku? I was able to complete the setup but am still having intermittent issues with Channel properties telling me its not connected to the internet. It took me a couple of tries to get the Prime app installed but that one still won't start. Never had these kind of issues before, strange.

I unplugged the tv for about 10 minutes and went into my Roku account and removed the tv from my account. Plugged in the tv and restarted the setup and it worked., I don't think the chicken and black candle had anything to do with it, but you never know.
