I found this on the web and it say the 4200 is still supported. Here is my link:

Where did you see it was not supported anymore?
That is a mistake on my part. I overlooked the 4200 last time I checked that page.
However, just because Roku still supports a device doesn't mean all channel developers will. I have seen come channel providers drop support for older devices. I think MAX might be one of them. Their support page only states that they support "most" Roku devices with OS 11 or greater. But I do know there are some that won't work on older devices, even if they are still officially supported by Roku.
YouTube in particular has a history of making their apps/channels not work well on older devices, despite claiming they support them. My first Roku was the 2XS (model 3100). The first channel that was impossible to use was YouTube, and at the time my 2XS was only a few years old. I updated to the Stick 3600 and Roku 4, and it worked fine again.
I've said it before but I'll repeat myself. Google sells a competing product, so they might be disinclined to make a lot of effort supporting older competing devices.
