@midnight2, if your device qualifies you can try chat at https://support.roku.com/contactus .  If it doesn't you can get help here or assume it's a faulty device and return it.  Phone support is not available.

Like others in this thread have posted, my Roku Hisense television is not working... I have tried several times unplugging the system (and waiting) and changing the batteries on the remote... I have tried plugging the HDMI cable into different ports... Nothing seems to work as the system is frozen on the same screen, "Hisense - Roku TV"... I would like to know how to resolve this issue? Also, is the problem the Roku television itself or the Roku remote?

@jebratt, have you tried a factory reset?

You may have to contact Hisense as they're the manufacturer of the TV.

The remote wouldn't have anything to do with what you're seeing.
