I've had the displeasure of using a Roku TV while put up by insurance since a truck drove into our garage in January, after a couple hotel stays.

I'm sure it's a few years old but there can't be more than 8mb of RAM.

The software is so bloated and sluggish on mine

I really wish software developers were actually allowed to ship decent firmware for stuff rather than just running a gigantic bloated os to effectively just decode and display video
