The Roku HDMI Streaming Stick (model 3500) is simply an HDMI device. Any current Roku device should work. So, something else is going on that isn't stated or realized. So, we gotta do some digging.
First, why are you needing to replace the device? To be sure, I'd replace a 3500 with a newer device, but that's because I know how much better the current devices perform. If the 3500 works, why the need to change? Is there a problem with the 3500?
What is the model number of your Samsung TV? I have a TV (not a Samsung, however) that's well over 10 years old, and current Roku devices work just fine. I would expect that to be the case for any TV with HDMI input. However, if there is something screwy about that particular model Samsung TV, that could complicate things, but that would not be expected to be the case. The model number would help determine if that is in play.
Next, where did you get a Premiere to try? Is that recent? Roku discontinued the Premiere almost a year ago. Yes, some retailers still have them in stock -- they weren't the highest seller, but were good devices nonetheless -- so it's possible to find a new one still, just not from Roku. Or are you saying (without actually saying) that you've been trying replacements for some time and none have worked?
And, what do you mean by saying they don't work on your TV? In what way? What happens? Please describe the issue.
