My TV isn't showing up on my app either but my other Roku devices are tried the same as you. Wondering if you ever got it working because my dog ate my Roku remote for my tv

Thanks for keeping us posted, @OldretiredMKC

We see that your TV is unable to detect your Roku Streaming Stick. For this matter, we recommend connecting your Roku device to another HDMI port to see if it's able to be detected and shown as one of your devices. It is also a good option to securely and firmly attach the cable and wires of the Roku device to your TV. 

Keep us posted.

Best wishes,
Kash

My landlord changed the wifi password and now my Roku fire stick is not showing up as a device on my TV. I have unplugged it for 24 hours and plugged it back into my HDMI port and nothing is showing up. I'm lost because I don't know how to find it again

Changing the Wi-Fi password wouldn't affect whether or not it shows up on your TV.  Make sure you choosing the correct HDMI input with your TV's remote.  When you connect the power (USB cable) to the stick you should see a light on the stick.  If not, make sure you're using the USB power adapter that came with the stick plugged into the wall.
