Re: Horizontal Lines/Bars of Pixels Stuck On Streaming Apps

Jump to solution

We complained about this issue with our 43" Hisense Roku TV and were told to return it for a replacement. We did this today, it took ages and was a load of effort, and now the new TV has the same issue. Why were we advised to exchange the TV by Hisense if there is a software patch on the way? When will the issue be fixed?

Try a reboot and see if it fixes the issue. It seems to have resolved for me, but who knows for how long?

on your remote, do this:

Home x5

Up x1

REW x2

FFW x2

wait a few minutes for the tv to reboot.

I am seeing this line since my system updated to V9.3. Just a tried the tv reboot via remote trick and issue is now resolved, for now at least.

This works but for me the lines will come back. Happened for months with my original TV Joe happening with the replacement. Unless Roku issue a fix soon I'll have to take it back and go for a different platform.

I have the 9.3 update, but the horizontal line still occurs. Is this the Roku software or tcl?

This is Roku. Other people with the same issue have Hisense or other tvs. Roku has acknowledged the problem in this thread and say they are working on a fix.. but they have been silent since. The issue is not fixed yet. 9.3 still has the issue.

So I have some new info on this problem. For me I have my PS4 plugged into hdmi, and whenever I switch it from the hdmi back to streaming the horizontal line starts. It does not stop until I force shut down or factory reset the thing. It’s been three weeks and you had the 9.3 update. Why isn’t this fixed??? I have 2 more weeks left to return it if it’s not done in a week I’m going right back to the store
