Pluto channel is black. Can’t watch it.

So this just happened. I clicked on the Pluto app and nothing happened. I get the opening Pluto logo then the screen is just black. I waited a good full minute and it never came on. 

i tried updating software and restarting but that didn’t work. I am so annoyed at these updates lately. And that’s another thing. 

When I click to update software, it ALWAYS shows it’s doing one update, like aligning solar panels. Then I click it again and it’ll say updating the hyper drive. If I click it again it’ll say opening stream gates. Like every single time I click software update it has a tiny update. It NEVER says no updates any more. So I never trust I have the latest.

Re: Pluto channel is black. Can’t watch it.

And now it’s happening with Netflix. Just a black screen. But Pluto came back after uninstalling, restarting Roku and then reinstalling. 

This is for the birds. I’m about to remove my stick from this program until you have more stable updates. I’m not about to sit here on Easter Sunday and can’t even watch what I want to without great effort. WTH?
