Prime video blacking out please help me

Jump to solution

I have a element roku tv and I was watching a movie on Prime Video, about 20 minutes in the TV screen goes black but the audio is still playing. Powered off the TV and everything came back, restarted the movie and it happens again. I was thinking it might be a problem with the tv but switched over to my firestick and no more issues. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with Prime video lately?
