Solving playback issues

[zedzedzedzed]

since writing this it turns out that this was a seperate issue, only affecting Stranger Things…the wider ID’d issue our Roku has developed causes far worse problems…I think it may be to do with the way it finds the router, swapping between 2.4 and 5 mghz…or something!

HI, were you able to find a resolution?

So many people complaining about the same problem for over a year. What is the solution??? Is there a recall for the device?

I have done all the things recommended but still cannot launch apps. Rebooted router, did a system reset.  Can watch ROKU on ipad fine and other TVS are ok.

I have unplugged my tv and Roku device for a few minutes and it still will not work, and I replaced the batteries in my remote. Now what?
