Ever since I got my Roku the problems have only gotten worse. The time on the tv is never right no matter what I do. Yes ive put my time on automatic and manual and it still doesn’t work. Max doesnt boot up half the time and the other half it wont play anything when it does boot up. Hulu always has me sign in and when I do it give me an error and I waste my time. Nowadays Prime Video has me sign in everytime I click the app and it tells me that there’s no network connect so it won’t let me log in, or it tells me my device time is off so it doesn’t let me do anything. Other than Prime Video, the newest addition to the issue is that YouTube will load the thumbnails of videos and I can search through them no problem but it will show no preview when hovering over a video and when I click on a video it shows an indefinite black screen and never plays. I know that this is a problem with Roku because when I use a different non Roku branded device it works totally fine with no problems at all.

The connection is excellent
Connecting to hotspot, then connecting back to WiFi only makes YouTube work. Nothing else.

A video clip of what? There nothing to see, apps don’t load like I stated before, the time on my tv is usually always off regardless if it’s on manual or automatic, and the times that it isn’t, it makes no difference. Netflix and Disney plus are the only two apps that work without fail or having to do anything special.
YouTube can be temporarily fixed by joining my hotspot, opening YouTube, going back out and reconnecting to my WiFi, until it decides it doesn’t want to work again.
Prime Video gives me two ways to sign in but I get a failed to generate code everytime. Sometimes before it goes to the two ways to sign in screen it tells me my device time is wrong.
Max will continuously load but sometimes it will let me browse the video selection but it will never let me play any of it regardless if I connect to my hotspot and then connect back to my wifi or if I’m just on WiFi.
This is a Roku problem due to the fact that these apps and websites can work on mobile devices and anything but a Roku Tv product.
@Brynks Have you tried to factory reset the TV?
That’s probably the only thing I haven’t done. I was hoping I wouldn’t need to. I’ll try it later and post how it goes
During factory resetting and putting in my email to set it back up it wouldn’t even send me an email, nor would it put up a QR code to use. I had to use my hotspot instead which I do not want to have to keep doing.
After getting it setup back up I go on to Prime Video and there is no change at all. It still will not allow me to sign in while on my WiFi.
And max loads indefinitely
