Can't update software error 003

Can't update software error 003 and tried every suggestion on this site.l  This is fresh out of the box and will not budge.  Hot spot, wired, wireless, 3 different wireless accounts.  Nothing.  How do I get my money back from Roku.  I have 2 other Roku's that work just fine.  Upgrading my upstairs viewing with a new, out of the box and it's a complete failure.  Both the box and the stick.

Roku is having an issue with some of their servers. It's nothing on your end, and Roku is working on the issue.
