Netflix won't load, and have to reset resolution every time for other streaming services to load

I just bought the Roku Express, was using a PS4 to stream and had no problems with any streaming services.  Now with the Roku Netflix can't load any content, it gets stuck on the spinning wheel or I get an error message.  I've done all the suggestions: restarted, un-installed and restart and downloaded app again, my internet connection is fine.  The only thing I can think of is that maybe my tv is too old (2010), but when I look it up it says any tv with an HDMI port should work.  

I also have to reset the resolution any time I turn it off and turn it on or NONE of the streaming apps work.  I find it hard to believe it's my tv since it worked perfectly fine 2 days ago with the PS4

You've taken the "Display type" setting off of "Auto detect" and set it to 1080p or 720p?

I have the same issue! I have restarted, unplugged the tv, uninstalled Netflix, signed out, changed to 1080 and 720. I don’t know what to do now.
