I added the pictures I made the other day, I cannot add the video. I also haven't done the 5 button thing yet will try in a few. I did move my ultra to another visio tv and the same thing happened. My roku stick works fine on both tv's. I will try to figure out how to add the video.

Your problem will be back. This is just a bandaid.

I’ve been fighting this battle for over a year, and I finally found something that works.  After trying the various setting suggestions, uninstalling, power cycling, then reinstalling the YT app, and various other things, did my own workaround.  Since my bedroom TV with a Roku stick is unaffected by this particular virus, I installed a Roku stick on my living room Roku TV (TCL 6 series).  Now I have a Roku TV with an additional Roku stick installed on one input.  I watch the majority of my programming on the embedded Roku system, but switch inputs to the Roku stick when I watch YouTube.  Works great, but I now have an extra remote to juggle.

I have the same TV with the same problem. I thought about doing this also. It's a real shame that we have to be so inconvenienced with such measures in order to work around an issue that Roku cannot/ will not fix.
