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

I have found that unplugging your tv and then plugging it back in works. It worked for me. Turning your tv off the remote way doesn’t work but unplugging does.

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

Yesterday I had an issue with mine and am not sure if it was an old model but this morning it worked fine. I suggest including the serial number and all info needed for the machine and have one of the Roku staff check it for you

Good luck hope it works 🤞 it seems YouTube Google and Roku need to fix the updates problem and need to ensure all updates are pushed to ALL models

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

I recently purchased and installed 2 Roku Ultra LT devices w/voice remote.  I am experiencing the "jump to home" issue on all channels.  I am using my Roku to activate my Sony Bravia and often find it has powered up without cause (assume "jump to home").  Both units are on current software and have been reset via power disconnect multiple times.

Model # 4663X

Serial #s YJ00DD142963 and YJ00FR978287

PLEASE NOTE:  I have run through several scenarios where this problem occurs and find the following

1)  While I could detect no fixed periodicity, the malfunction seems to occur within 3 minutes of beginning a program.

2)  When the "jump to home" occurs, the LED indicator on the front of Roku unit flickers as it does when the unit is being controlled via remote.

3)  If the voice remote (i.e., RF control) is disabled by removing the batteries, both my units respond to and function normally when controlled with older (i.e., IR only) remotes I have on hand.  The problem appears isolated to RF control.

3)  If a program is started using the RF control and the batteries are immediately removed from remote, no malfunction has occurred in many, many operations.  REPEATIf the batteries are out of the RF remote, no "jump to home" occurs on either of my units regardless of which remote was used to launch the program.

BOTTOM LINE:  It seems this "jump to home" malfunction I am experiencing may be caused by spurious emissions/operations between the RF control and Roku device.
