Hulu app will change channels after an hour
Sometimes while watching Hulu, my Roku TV will revert to a channel I was watching earlier. Always at the hour. Is there a setting to turn this off?

Hey, McHobbit
Thanks for reaching out!
We understand that you are having issues watching on the Hulu app, and we're here to help out!
Can you share what app appears after an hour of watching Hulu? Also, did this happen after an update? Could you also share the latest software version of the Roku device? (Check under Settings > System > About).
Please tell us more!

I have HULU with local channels. Last night I watched HGTV for about an hour. At 11:00PM I switched to watch the news on a local channel. At 11:30PM the TV switched back to HGTV. It is the same every time it happens. the TV reverts to the last channel when the new show starts. It does not seem to be only one app.
The software version is 14.5.4 Build 5944. Last update 3/13/25 @ 9:56AM
Hi McHobbit
Thank you for providing this info.
Could you tell us when you encountered this issue? Also, do you have other Roku Devices? If so, are you experiencing the same issue with them?
For now, you can try a system restart.
Keep us posted!
