From RokuJoel –


	di=createobject("roDeviceInfo")
	canvas=CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
	canvas.SetLayer(0, { color: "#000000" })
	If di.GetDisplayType()="HDTV"
		canvas.SetLayer(1, [{ 
		url: "pkg:/images/splashhd.jpg"
		targetRect: {
			x:    0
			y:    0
			w:    1280
			h:    720
			}
		}])
	Else
		canvas.SetLayer(1, [{ 
		url: "pkg:/images/splashsd.jpg"
		targetRect: {
			x:    0
			y:    0
			w:    720
			h:    480
			}
		}])
	End If
	canvas.Show()

Place that in your main function, or the first one your channel runs.

Best bet would be to use it on all platforms, no need to detect. If you must detect version, use rodeviceinfo:

function IsNotLegacyDevice() as boolean
    version = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo").GetVersion()
    major = Mid(version, 3, 1)
    minor = Mid(version, 5, 2)
    build = Mid(version, 8, 5)
 
    if major.toint() >= 4 then
        return true
    else
       return false
    end if
end function

It has always been true that a channel exits when you close all of its screens and there has been a fair bit of discussion about it here over the years.
