Agree, just trying to watch something this afternoon on Netflix and it’s crashed 3X. And same as my brother, Netflix and Roku crashes. Definitely makes me not want to buy Roku in future and will be purchasing a fire stick instead as beyond frustrated as by now this issue should be fixed. It’s not the users it’s something to do with Roku and Netflix and don’t seem to be trying to fix on their end even with all the comments.

Agree. I've been experiencing this for a couple years. No resolution and we're tired of getting numerous emails about it week after week with no action. Going to look at a different TV or something. This is ridiculous.

Pressing the home and then back button 5 times does nothing on my Roku stick.
Netflix crashes and needs to be fixed.

I found out that plugging in the TV to it's own wall outlet or it's on power strip without anything else on the power strip but the TV, but the wall outlet can have another power device plugged in to the outlet, this stoped the crashing, try it !

I've had the same problem for years. Netflix just says.unplug every time first. Sick of that and doesn't last. How come no one has reported them to the FTC?? THEY'RE TAKING OUR MONEY FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT DOESN'TWORK! Ive bought three other TVs and its the same thing. The government needs to step in!
