I have a 50" screen, but only get a small picture while streaming.

I am having a similar problem that started two weeks ago. I have had my Roku Express since July 2022 and this just started happening.
1. I turn on Roku with TV and select a channel (Hulu, History, Fox, have all done this)
2. Initial selection screen is full size and so is initial channel screen.
3. When I choose PLAY, the video shows in a small rectangular window in top left.
4. If I turn on closed caption or press down arrow, video remains small, but caption or selection options are full size on the remainder of the TV screen.
5. Only fix I have found is to recycle the Roku device. This corrects the problem for a while, then the problem reoccurs again later.
Aggravation every time this occurs.
Thanks for the post.

Once we have this information, we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further.

I have the same problem - picture only fills the top quarter of the screen. I have 2 tvs with Roku. First one tv and Roku started doing it, and now the other one has started doing it, so I assume it is the Roku not the tv. Also, this only happens with Roku, not with regular cable channels. Has a solution been found?
