I did find a fix. It wasn't a Roku issue. My TV screen came with a remote that has a Format button that changes the aspect. I'd inadvertently hit it -- possibly by sitting on it -- which changed the image to a lower quality format suitable for VHS players (I have one, for archival tapes I consult) or for old square-format TV movies. Toggling that brought back the correct format for streaming or hi-def. Even if you haven't touched the remote that came with your TV, look for it and try that. (Format adjustment may also be available on the TV itself.)
Thanks for that. I noticed that the Roko unit was warmer than I thought it should be, after changing out HDMI cable powering down, factory reset etc. So I moved the unit off the TV once it cooled down. Hey ho it worked. I now have proper aspect ratio. Thanks for responding.
Same here!!!! 😩
