@Savannah22, without the wireless receiver the app and the remote won't work (except for the TV controls). They are known to go bad, but should be covered by the one year warranty. You can also try to contact support at https://support.roku.com/contactus and see if they'll do anything for you. Use the option for "Account, payments & subscriptions" to try to get to a chat option.
