Re: Express shuts down Prime & YouTube and returns to home screen after 30-minutes.

Jump to solution

I fought this problem for months. I have found a solution.  I bought a HDMI to Rca device on amazon and connected Roku to this device then to the TV via RCA cable that came with the device.. Bingo the problems gone.

  Without getting to technical , It appears as some streaming has data that your TV doesnt like so the TV kicks the Roku device off the HDMI port.   Since there is no data interaction between the TV's RCA connection and the Roku , the Roku doesnt pass the questionable data to the TV so the TV's does not respond by kicking the Roku off the HDMI Port.

Roku device model
-serial number x000004pa79p
-device ID s034d99pa79p
-software OS/version
(these can all be found in Settings > System > About) 9.4.0
-does this issue occur on a specific channel? if so, what channel and what version/build is the channel (this can be found be selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)

This happens on every single channel including netflix, disney plus, hulu and cbs all access. It just started today and now my tv is unusable.

Is there an update on this? My Roku that’s built into my TV will not load Disney Plus, XfinityStream, or Any other apps.

Has this issue been resolved?

Similar to others in this thread, none of my apps load. I click an app; and, it returns to the Home screen.
