I just purchased a Roku Premiere this afternoon and I'm getting frustrated! I have spent 5 ours trying to get the connection up. I keep getting a screen that tells me that I need a high speed HDMI cable - I've used the one that came with the device as well as switching out with several others that I happened to have. I've unplugged everything as the screen says 9multiple times!) as well as done a factory reboot. What else can I do? Please help! I'm going into TV withdrawal mode! 🙂
Check the HDMI port settings on your TV. If it's a 4K TV, there should be settings that are labeled UHD Color or True Color, or something along those lines. If those settings are not enabled, your Roku isn't seeing a full bandwidth HDMI connection and might think it's because of a substandard cable.
Thank you. It's an older Samsung TV - given to me by a former employer when he upgraded. (I couldn't afford a big TV!) I tried to see if I could change the settings but the option isn't there. Definitely not a 4K.
