Stuck on Privacy Policy update

Help please! My Roku is stuck on the update privacy policy agreement.

I have the options, Agree, Disagree, Privacy Policy, but I cannot select any option with my remote. If I leave it to time out I have to go back to restarting Roku as it freezes on the screensaver. 

I am unable to get to any channel before the update screen shows up.

Help! My kids want to do PE with Joe and this is the second day of no Roku.

Re: Stuck on Privacy Policy update

I switched my TV set on and switched my Roku on as usual. It took me to a Roku homescreen, however when I wanted to choose to Netflix it did not let me to do it, instead, Privacy Policy update appeared on the screen with three options: Agree, Disagree, Privacy Policy and screen froze down copletely. I cannot confirm my choice at all.

I could use my remote previously, but I cannot use it to confirm my choice.

Re: Stuck on Privacy Policy update

I am the OP and mortified to admit my remote needed new batteries!

In my defence, we have had a Roku 3 for several years and have never changed the batteries in the remote. We upgraded to a streaming stick and this happened less than a month after installing it! 

Thank you to everyone who offered advice. I changed the batteries in the remote and it is working perfectly now

Thanks for the information.

Do you experience this issue when you are trying to access any other channel or is it just from Netflix? If Netflix is the only channel that you are experiencing this issue with, we would recommend removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more to see if it resolves the issue.

Please keep us posted.


Thanks,
Danny

Problem solved! I had to restart my broadband as well as I unplugged my Roku device and it has helped! No more issues since these 2 steps.

Thanks for help!

Re: Stuck on Privacy Policy update

I still have this problem. Checked batteries. Turned off the roku prem box and WiFi. You can see the roku pages behind the message (faintly) but you can't get to them. Press OK as requested and nothing happens.

Please help!
