@pdmcmanus30 and I've never had a Roku player damage any TV. I have them on Samsung, LG, Vizio, and previously on a Panasonic TV. Never had an issue with any of them. While I might be only a single data point, the same applies to you. Perhaps the Roku did cause the TV issue you had, I can't say without seeing the set in question. But your single issue doesn't make the entire brand garbage. Same goes for the remotes. I've had no remote issues with more than a dozen Roku devices over the years.
