I moved my roku to another TV and I can't get it past the ENGLISH screen

Jump to solution

My ROKU device was working perfectly.  Then I moved it to another TV and I can't get past the "looking for software update."  A few weeks ago I had moved this same ROKU to the same TV and it worked.  Moved it back to my main TV and it worked fine. I purchased a new ROKU  and could not get it out of GUEST MODE so I sent it back and again moved my ROKU to this TV.  It is still stuck. have factory reset it twice and it still does not work.
