I have a Chromecast and does not have the issue. I also tested a fire stick for the last couple of days and did not get a single issue. However, all the various Roku sticks I have show the same issue. Look at all the posts in this thread, all of them describe the issue and it points to the Roku stick. I have personally done the uninstall, reset, re-install and clear cache procedure with no luck.

This seems like a lame attempt to divert the issue from Roku to YouTube TV.

I can confirm that this problem does not happen on my Chromecast with Google TV. Yet, it happened all the time with the Roku device.

I mean, I could take a picture next time it happens and show you the firestick plugged into the tv. I don't care one way or the other whether it happens on a roku or a firestick or whatever, I came here because I was having the same issue and was looking for a solution.

You have me a little worried now, I'm not gonna lie. If starts to happen on my Chromecast, I'm changing streaming services.

It's a YTTV issue. My LG TV which doesn't have Roku does the same thing. If you check Reddit, you'll come across other people without a Roku having the same issues as well. It is annoying af though. 😠 😡 😤

Sadly, the one thing these issues have in common is the trigger, specific commercials. My fix was to buy a used (so as to not reward Roku for their failure to fix the issue) top of the line Roku device and I have been black screen free for over a week.

One would think that Roku, Amazon and Google/YouTubeTV would get together and would solve the issue. There are literally millions of users of the systems, and we are all affected, and the responsible parties don't seem to give a **bleep** about it even when this issue has been around for a long time.

If these would be cars, there would have been a recall. Maybe it is time to get the FCC involved.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the posts.

Please be aware that the appropriate Roku team is currently investigating this issue. I do not have any information to provide at this time. However, once more information is available, I'll be sure to update this Community thread.

Thanks,
Danny

Really?  What progress have you made.  No reply is as good as telling me you have no plan and are just an impediment to finding a solution.

Happened several times again this passed weekend on more than one channel. Seems like it is getting worse not better. Why doesn't this "Roku employee" that keeps posting on here have more information on the progress on getting this problem rectified? Is he not allowed to speak with the tech team to see where things stand?

No, it hasn’t been fixed.  Mine is becoming progressively worse.
