Same here. My TCL Roku Smart TV blacks out with info showing every 6 minutes, annoying! Been on the phone for hours with Roku, TCL, and Target. They all claim I'm the only one having the problem.
Quick fix is to pull out the USB stick if you're using one. Best to get a new one if you want to keep using live TV pause. Seems this feature corrupts the USB drives after a while, or could be the USB drives are just no good.
Normal, you can only rewrite data so many times
wouldn't you think that they would acknowledge this as a system restraint and state that you will need to replace the drive after a so many hours of use..? or something like that?
I too have this exact problem on my TCL Roku televisions. I have two TCL and an Insignia, all are Roku TV's. I never have any issues with my Insignia only the TCL units. My 55 inch TCL is now on it's 4th flash drive since I purchased the TV in July, 2019. I have contacted TCL support and explained the problem to the first line technician. I am currently waiting on next level tech to call. In my case the pause live TV stops working after about 3-4 months. The flash drive gets damaged and the only option is to buy a new flash drive. Again, never any problem with my Insignia brand Roku TV.
Same here. Have a TCL Roku TV where the pause, backup stopped working. It's about 1 1/2 years old. Rebooted the TV, removed and reinserted the USB drive, rescanned and used the setup pause Live tv option again. still not working. Sharp Roku Tv is working just fine. Guessing that it's the USB drive. Don't currently have a spare to use. any other thoughts?
I'm wondering if you could help me. I have a Roku Streaming Stick 4K connected to my Samsung tv. I followed the instructions on how to add a flash drive so I can pause live tv, but when I install a flash drive into a USB port on my tv, Roku doesn't format the flash drive. Technology is going too fast and it's hard to keep up. Am I not doing it right? I'm disabled because of a TBI that put me in a coma for 16 days. I follow the instructions, but nothing happens and maybe you could tell me what I am doing wrong. I appreciate your help
