Hey @Chellytay10

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Since you're getting ‘We can't seem to reach you by Email’ when trying to use the activation link, tap ‘Resend’ on your Roku device and another email will be sent. After a moment, look in your inbox for another message from Roku with a new activation link for you to try.

If still no luck, please reply here with the serial number/device ID of your Roku device. It consists of 12 alphanumeric characters and can be located at the back of the device or on the box.

Please keep us posted.

All the best,
Kariza

Similar problems here. My TCL Roku TV was working fine, then:

• I deleted several channels that I wasn't watching.

• Then no response with microphone/voice commands.

• Shut down and disconnected power for a few minutes. On a restart, the only channels that were working were Pandora, Amazon Music and one video channel (which all seem to be working fine).

• Called TCL customer service and after several attempts to fix was told to do a factory reset. 

After the factory reset, it will NOT recognize my email. I've tried several multiple times with additional resets and 4 different email address, multiple times — none were accepted.

TCL customer service had transferred me to Roku customer service. They said they would call back when they knew what the problem is. Was looking forward to watching Game 6 of the World Series tonight.

I'm having the exact same problem.  I deleted some channels off my old roku and then it just completely stopped being able to connect to apps.  So i figured it died and bought a new one.  Now I can't get past the send email screen on the new one just like the old one.  It just keeps saying can't seem to reach your email.  I've tried on different tv's, I've factory reset multiple times.  How is this still a problem?

SO after all the resets what actually finally worked was turning off the modem and router for a while.  Then it connected.  Not sure if it'll help anyone else but after all the resets and email changes i'm not sure what worked.  Good luck!  Roku in my advice to back to using codes on the website.  You broke something that didn't need fixing that works great on every other streaming service.

Hulu app was not working properly so i decided to factory reset my jvc roku tv.  now i cannot complete the activation.  When i enter my email, i either get a message stating "we can't seems to reach you by email" or "unable to connect to the roku service.  I tried both wireless and wired connection, same issue.  any suggestions?
