Solving playback issues

[Billbow01]

All roku boxes in house show black screen, no audio but has channel guide. I know streaming is fine because my Netflix and others services are streaming just fine. Been 3 days of no service. Am wondering if they are doing upgrades or just stopped free live TV. 🤔
