      It is happening with Netflix and Disney+. We start watching something and it goes back to Home. Sometimes if we change the volume it happens also

    Mines does that too. We will be watching a movie on Disney plus, then it stops and we get the spinning blue circle, and then the home screen. Is the Roku tv broken or something?

      Hi GInaG

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

      Does the issue only occur on Disney Plus or across other channels installed on your Roku device?

      If you haven't tried yet, you can remove the affected channel and re-install it. To ensure the process is successful, make sure to restart your device before adding the channel back in. We would recommend doing this from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.) > System restart.

      For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link: How do I resolve channel playback issues?

      Let us know how it goes!


      All the best,
      Kariza

        Dear Kariza:

         

        It happens with all Apps on the RoKu tv except the Xfinity cable input. We have restarted the tv and it still happens. Every morning and every evening. We have to restart the Roku tv every morning and every evening in order to watch an App on the Roku tv. And the movie stopping in the middle, this happens from time to time on every app. Someone told us the Roku tv had a computer problem that can't be fixed because tv repair people can't reach it. They said Roku is a "flawed tv system."
