Mine is stuck too. I reached out to their chat protocol and they supposedly sent a refresh to my tv.. didn’t work and then it said it would text me in an hour to check if it was resolved. Their support is not helpful at all

@user_mmj42u We would recommend unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds and plgging it back in, once you do so, let us know how it goes.

Seems to be happening to a lot of us.  Mine is stuck on that screen too.  I rebooted the box, did all the troubleshooting the chat bot told me to do, nothing. This is so frustrating!
