Channels & viewing

[NatRuss]

Similar here. Not sure about our other Roku TVs, but our 65” Roku Insignia keeps stopping at random points during movies and tv shows going blank and then opening the Home Screen. It started only happening a few times and would always be at specific points a few years ago. We figured it was just a bad/old TV and bought a new one. Same thing. In the last few months it occurs at random points during our viewing time, but it occurs constantly. Amazon, Netflix, HULU, Peacock, YouTube, Paramount+, Disney… EVERY APP.  This is quite probably a programming issue, and is only getting worse as the years go by. This TV  is brand new and there should be no reason for it to repeat the issue. We need a solution.

Hi @NatRuss,

Thanks for the first post in the Roku Community!

In some cases, removing the affected channel and then re-installing it may help. 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 > System restart. (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.)

For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link: How to resolve a channel playback issue

Please let us know how it goes.

All the best,

Chel

Thank you for the quick reply and offer of support. I read this in a previous part of this post. Sadly, I have already tried this twice.
