Darn, I hope that doesn't happen to us. I just sent my husband up to the camping trailer to get our Roku stick to plug into our two month old TCL Roku TV to see if that would work. If it doesn't, and Roku doesn't get this fixed, I wonder how that works with the TV's warranty? We just bought that shiny new TV, and it was Roku who stopped it from working.
I am still able to watch Youtube on the TV, but that is about the only channel, so maybe the stick will work on mine. Hopefully we aren't going to be stuck with no TV.
We are elderly, and living on Social Security. There is no cable here, and even if there was, we wouldn't have been able to afford it. We have been without a TV since they took away free TV. (We live on an island, and there is a 100 foot hill behind our house, so we can't get any OTA TV).
Anyway, my son was telling us about Roku TV and sticks, so we went to Best Buy. It was during the first wave of Covid, and I have cancer, and was afraid to go to Walmart because of the crowds there. Anyway, the only TVs that Best Buy had for under $300, were a small screen Insignia dumb TV, so we bought that and the Roku stick. We loved having Roku, but the TV was so tiny that we couldn't see it well. my husband also has hearing problems, so he needs to be able to read close captioning. We have a small older camping trailer we bought years ago, so finally a couple of months ago, we decided to put the dumb TV and Roku stick in the camper, and buy a real 42 inch Roku TV. It was so exciting to have a great big, shiny new TV we could actually use. There is only slow internet where we live, but we could actually watch a lot of the channels, even though they do buffer some. We bought the Roku TV because we loved the stick so much. We get Netflix for free with our cellphone plan, and they just added a year of Paramount Plus for free. The Netflix worked, but the internet is too slow for Paramount. (Because of the hill behind us, we have to drive down the road to get any cellphone towers, so mirroring from the cellphone isn't an option. At home we use WIFI for the cellphone). Since we are elderly, we watch the free stuff with ads. We love IMDB, because they have a ton of free stuff, and it worked so well for us. Netflix is okay, but there is mostly the popular stuff on there, and we are too old to really enjoy the popular stuff, so we watch the free Youtube and IMDB.
I sure hope we didn't just blow a bunch of money on a beautiful TV we can't use because the company bricked it!
Anyway, I'm hoping the stick will still work, because
