Closed Captioning is from the previous show on Roku Channel

When proceeding from one episode to another in a series on Roku Channel, the Closed Captioning is from the previous episode. The only way I know to correct it is to go to Home and reset the Roku device [a pain]. Happens on multiple shows [Cardinal, Necessary Roughness, among others I'm sure].

Re: Closed Captioning is from the previous show on Roku Channel

It might be something to do with your router/modem.  But if the router/modem is not the issue, you probably need to check if the Roku is powered through the wall outlet or the TV USB port.  It must be powered through the wall outlet.

Hopefully someone at Roku will help you more in this situation.

I’m into videotapes and old electronics stuff, including extenders, converters and analog 4:3 TV sets (which are obsolete these days), and Miss Bianca is my favorite character in Disney’s The Rescuers (1977) and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under (1990). I am not a Roku employee, only a user like you. ~ Jordan

Thanks for the post.

Try removing the channel 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 channel back once more. 

Does this clear up the issue you are seeing? Please keep us posted what you find out.

 

Thanks,
