Re: Keeps going back to home screen

@Jamaica 

Thanks for the post.

Can you please provide us the following information:
-Roku device model
-serial number
-device ID
-software OS/version
(these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
-does this issue occur on a specific channel? if so, what channel and what version/build is the channel (this can be found be selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)
-tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times)

Once we have this information we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate team to investigate further.


Thanks,
Danny

Re: ButRe: Keeps going back to home screen

I have just been using Netflix, YouTube TV, and Hulu and anytime I go back from one streaming channel to the other I have to restart my Roku because it freezes.

Re: Keeps going back to home screen

My Roku does the same, no matter if it’s Disney+ or Netflix. I returns to homepage after 3-5 min

What model Roku do you have (model number, not just the name)?

In addition to what @atc98092 asked, how are you powering the Roku device? Is the device plugged into the TV USB port or is it plugged into a wall outlet?
