Channel Issues & Questions

[DBDigital]

Sadly this is anything but solved. I hadn't had a problem until I recently started using HBOMAX. I did have the service back in January and it was fine, not it has this "zoom in" problem where most of the time the area to the right is cropped off when watching say Babylon 5. You get half heads or sometimes even just a ear when you should have a whole face. Also the credits are chopped (about a word or half of one per line). The commercials funny enough are fine.

I did the remove the channel, run system update, restart roku, reinstall the channel method and while it works, it only works for say one episode. After that it goes back to this zoomed in problem. Sometimes if I restart the Roku or even change resolution to say 720 from 1080 that will fix it for another episode. Thought many times it won't work and I will have to remove the channel etc to get it to display the whole image again. I do not have this problem with say Netflix. Please fix this in a more permanent fashion. I can't keep removing the channel etc for every episode. It just isn't worth the hassle, meaning I will have to give up this service and go with another if it can't be fixed.

One thing I have noticed, when the zoom problem is happening, the image is perfect/switches half a second before the commercial starts.  It might be due to the commercials switching resolution and it is not switching back properly sometimes when it is done?

I recently (October 8th) bought a Roku Express HD for one of our T.Vs. I liked it so much that I bought a Roku Express 4K (October 12th) for our main T.V. It worked perfectly until a recent update (December 10th), and now it suffers from the issue of this thread. The issue can be cleared, we think, by a power down / power up cycle on the T.V., which the Roku is powered from.

Roku device model: 3940CA - Roku Express 4K.

Serial Number: X01600JEKA5H

Device ID: S07S515EKA5H

What Channels: Netflix; Amazon Prime; DAZN

Version/build: 10.5.0 Build 4208-CR

What content: All that we have tried.

Issue ID: 5H-502-449

EDIT 1: "Settings>System>Power>System restart" also clears the issue. Note that I did not bother to remove and then add back the channel. I do not know how long it is before the problem will occur again, but it always seems to be present when we want to actually use it.

EDIT 2: Experiment in progress: "Disable Auto power savings" that will go into save power mode after 20 minutes of no use.

EDIT 3: The issue does not occur with "Auto power savings" disabled. The issue always occurs if the system is powered up and "Auto power savings" is enabled and the Roku had gone into power save mode before being used. The situation ends up with the T.V. in 1080p mode whereas it should be in 2160p mode.
