  • Alternatively, hit the Home button and then the up arrow button. This will have the Settings screen pop up, regardless of which language is set on your Roku.
  • Hit OK to select it.
  • Then, hit the up arrow one more time you’ll go to the System options.
  • Hit OK again.
  • Hit the down arrow two times and click OK.
  • This should open the Language options screen.
  • The top language on the list should be English. Select it and confirm with the OK button.

    David, I had a similar issue, and what worked for me was power cycling the Roku device. Have you tried that?
