Re: Cannot connect to tv nor use app

@Earmas21, you can either set up your new network to match the last network the TV connected to (same SSID/network name and password) or get a physical remote.  The app won't help until the TV is connected to the same network as the phone.  You can get a cheap universal remote that supports Roku TVs or the $10 simple TV remote from Roku.
