Love hearing this! Sounds like this has helped a few people with their issues. Remember, if you ever reset your TV to factory default, you will need to go back and turn these two settings back again! Enjoy. 🙂 ~Jeff

Turning off SIMPLINK on my LG TV worked for me too!  Netflix plays everything without the need to hit Play/Pause a bunch of times!  Youtube started acting weird as well.  It would open, and 5 seconds later, the screen would go black, press a button, and it comes back to life.  Turning off that setting fixed both things.  Nice work Jeff!

@Billeh Great to hear that the issue I had with my Panasonic Plasma TV also helped you with your LG TV. I wonder how many other TV brands were affected with this? Seems these HDMI settings affect Netflix, You Tube and Tubi. I am sure these TV brand and channel lists will grow as other members post. I feel the more we say here, the more people with these issues will find our conversations and fix their problems. ~Jeff

I was having same problem. so I cancelled Netflix. Not paying for something I cant watch!🙁

@mechelltry signing up again, and give it a try with these settings changed! It may work - but If it does not work, you can just cancel again and I don't believe they will charge you for the whole month. Or possibly sign up with a free week like some other platforms offer? Or maybe borrow a friend's or family's account for a test-run. You won't know until you try. ~Jeff

I had this issue for about a year.  I tried everything suggested but could not fix it.  I'm guessing Roku recently did some kind of update because I can finally play Netflix without it freezing.  I'd suggest to anyone experiencing this issue to update their device to the latest software.
