Kicks me to Home Screen

Everything worked fine for months. Starting in the last week or so now it keeps kicking me out of apps. In Sling it will freeze during commercials or if I just change the volume and kick me out. In Prime or Netflix if I browse for something to watch (or change the volume) or just randomly - sometimes as soon as I enter the app. It’s driving me crazy. I’ve tried rebooting everything, changed the bandwidth saving feature - I don’t know what else to do. This is awful; why is this happening?

Hi, it’s a TCL Roku TV. I bought it last summer and didn’t experience any issues until recently. Now it’s sporadic but happens at least once or twice a day. Thanks.

Re: Kicks me to Home Screen

I'm also being kicked out continuously, as if the last two weeks. I've tried Disney+ movies/ shows, only to be kicked out to the home screen. I've been kicked out of Sling just being in a show/ movie or when it's on a commercial, or just because I change the volume.  Im getting really tired of it and I know it is not my internet provider as they've been to my house to check my setup of everything. How do I make this stop? I'm getting very frustrated.
