Did you read what I wrote it is not the remote because I took the batteries out!

I have a sharp as well and it kept doing it over and over wouldn't let me do anything but turn off and on... so really quick before it switched to Netflix, from the home screen I went to settings> system> system restart... so far so good

I'm pretty sure Netflix and HULU are paying ROKU to switch to their channels occasionally.  This keeps happening to me randomly when pressing any of the buttons on my ROKU Ultra remote.  Doesn't matter what I'm watching.  I've had it happen pressing OK, any of the rocker buttons, pause/play, rewind, and forward buttons.

Save the hassle of calling and do this first

1) replace batteries

2) reset system from settings menu on your Roku Home Screen.
settings

system

power

system restart

This does not remove apps you downloaded   It will automatically go back to the Home Screen for you

 

worked for me!

I had the same issue just popup on my new Hisense Roku TV. I'm watching live television and it keeps taking me back to the Netflix login screen. What's weird is the sound is still from the live TV, and the profile icons are showing what is on live TV.

Has nothing to do with the remote. It's a software glitch.

I fixed it by opening Netflix, scrolling to 'Exit Netflix' to close out of it, and went back to watching live TV. It's been 60 minutes and it hasn't popped back up yet.

Disabling "Device Connect" didn't work for me with a TCL Roku, but going into Netflix and clicking on "Exit Netflix" DID work! Thank you!
