Re: Are you being returned to Home screen after selecting a channel?

@Hifi75 @angelahowser @DM2564 @Grandmaslucky7 

The problem is caused by the latest Hulu app update (6.48.1) on some Roku devices.

Hulu is aware of the problem and is working on a fix.  There is no ETA - later today is possible, though Monday is most likely.

You should contact Hulu and report it, and receive an account credit:

Re: Are you being returned to Home screen after selecting a channel?

Just watched an entire episode of a show on discovery plus and was going to catch up on a new episode of something on Hulu and started having this issue. Already tried removing app, restarting system, and adding channel back and it returned to the home screen faster than it was before I did this. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!

Serial #: X0040000G6FA (S0093110G6FA)

Ive tried every suggestion that’s been posted for the past month. I had not experienced any issues with my device until last nite. I watched a whole movie before this starting happening. Moved to my bedroom, worked all night and now this morning its throwing the same fit as my living room device. I swear they’re in cohoots. Good Connection unplug device and or tv from power source system restart from menu system restart from reset button on back of device To no avail. Please get this issue resolved. All I wanted a was a Sunday of binge watching and coffee and now I’m stuck to doing it on my phone. Unhappy Roku costumer

Could you be more explicit about what workaround/solution worked for you, and for what app(s)?

Re: Are you being returned to Home screen after selecting a channel?

This recommendation worked perfecttly for me:

 

We would first recommend trying removing the channels from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channels back once more.

Re: Are you being returned to Home screen after selecting a channel?

Same thing keeps happening to us. On any of the devices we have external Roku players it will not load Hulu. It will load fine on the smart TV but not on the ones with external devices. We have tried removing the channel and reinstalling it, we have also tired to return to factory setting on the Roku player with no luck. Model 4230x-roku3 Serial 6325AR040504 Please assist??
