I changed the Screensaver on my TCL Roku Tv, but the default Screensaver keeps showing up. I changed it to the aquatic saver and it states its the current saver, but the default saver always comes on.
If you pause a video you'll never see your chosen screensaver. It will be a blank screen or "Logo rain".
This is the correct answer folks. Thanks!!
This "glitch" of defaulting to the raining Roku screensaver, or a black screen, when pausing a video, never occurred on my older Roku Streaming Stick that I recently replaced with the newer 4K. It always went to the screensaver I chose, no matter what. Why change this? It seems more like a downgrade IMO and I hope it can be corrected in a software update. Other than this I love my Roku as always. Thanks.
Lore4, was your old stick a 4k device and are you using the same screensaver? I haven't figured out a rhyme or reason why some devices get "Logo rain" and others don't (and I've seen the same device act differently depending on the phase of the moon, I suppose 🙂 ), but I don't think it's a "glitch" and I doubt it's going to be "corrected". If anything, they'll probably change it to something more annoying.
I have the same thing here, on my Roku devices as well as my Roku TV. This seems to be controlled by the various channel apps, which, as you may know, are provided by the channel services themselves to run on the Roku platform. Some channel apps, when going to the screensaver honor your choice of screensaver (mine also it the aquatic fish tank), some just bring up the Roku system default for that Roku, and I've got some that just deliver a black screen.
