I will absolutely be getting rid of mine if I experience this.

I only have my roku tv because I got it dirt cheap ages ago, I don't use it all that often and no good enough reason to replace it, I'm already considering replacing it with a dumb tv and just hooking up my laptop to it. If I ever experience this, it will make the cost of a new dumb tv 1000% worth it.

You can reset your Roku tv and simply not connect it to the internet. It will still work as a dumb tv.

I'll try that, thank you.
