    Hey I'm an old guy myself and I did the exact same thing. This was right in the middle of a sporting event I was enjoying and it just made everything miserable. And yet it was a simple fix. I'm a lost cause when it comes to technical issues, like rebooting, uploading, downloading. And that's easy stuff. So, here is how I freed myself of this stress cloud hanging over me. Reset your Roku! I felt kind of dumb after that one. But that did it.
