Express at times will start over

After watching TV with the Express , during a show it will switch back to the home screen. then you have to find the channel you were watching. Then it may or may not do it for an hour or so then do it again. Has anyone else seen this

Re: Express at times will start over

@Moose2 

Some channels/apps have an inactivity timer (no interaction w/remote) as well as the Roku OS.

Try disabling the Automatic Power Saving feature (available on some models) and Bandwidth Saver (available on all models).

Settings/System/Power/Auto Power Savings

Settings/Network/Bandwidth Saver

If still an issue, try powering your Express from a wall outlet using a USB power adapter (cell phone charging adapter 5volts, 1amp) instead of your TV USB port if currently doing so.
