    My partner had the same problem. He was logged in to YouTube on his smart TV and it would keep loging him out of his Roku based YouTube. We logged him out of his smart TV YouTube and now he stays logged into his Roku YouTube.

    Raime, you have to be kidding. You lost me at remove the app or something like that....!!  By the end I virtually forgot what it was the question was... But it was much more simple that the answer........Bottom line is the same for me. Overnight the the Roku tCL disconnected and 8 hours later, I still haven't been able to9 get the wireless password to work and reconnect me.........

    I am having the same problem with Hulu. Tried all the suggestions, but the asterisk/Options button simply does not work on the Hulu app (only on one of my remotes/TVs). This just happened, with smooth sailing previously. Can't uninstall and reinstall, etc.

    Removed and reloaded the app several times. Ok for a while then same problem comes up. Last time it did it Jessica said it was because we were signed into too many devices so we upgraded to unlimited account. Same garbage.
