Hi everyone,

Thanks for the posts.

We appreciate your patience while we worked with the channel provider to investigate the issue. We believe the issue is now resolved.

We would recommend checking to see if the issue you were experiencing is still occurring.

Please keep us posted what you find out.

Thanks,
Danny

This just started happening to me tonight. Our account is current and I can watch Hulu on my laptop so it's a Roku problem. How can you fix it?

Hello @tikobird

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

Does the issue only occur on Hulu or across other channels installed on your Roku device?

If you haven't tried yet, you can remove the affected channel and then re-install it. To ensure the process is successful, restart your device before adding the channel back in. We would recommend doing this from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.) > System restart.

For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link: How do I resolve channel playback issues?

Let us know how it goes.

All the best,
Kariza

For me Hulu jumps back to ROKU screen on several of my TVs.  This started happening about 3-4 days ago.

So if it has been resolved I still need the fix.  

Thanks

Danny, I have nine Rolu’s in my house. Nine separate televisions, flat screens… Trying to troubleshoot. I turned all of them on to Fox News and after about a half an hour of watching Fox News all nine of them get sent back to the Roku home screen… Been going on for about two weeks.WTF?

Same issue here, happens consistently when watching Fox News on Hulu.  Can other shows on Hulu for hours without ant exiting to roku menu.  Exits every 20-45 minutes.  While wathing FoxNews.  Started a week or two ago.  Have done full resets on 2 Rokus.

As of today the problem is not fixed and I only seem to have it whenever I watch any Fox owned channels
