Roku Streaming Issues dark and blurry

My home screen is fine, bright and clear however shows on Prime, Crave, Netflix are dark, blurry, fuzzy. The same with cable tv. Unwatchable. However, no issues with the home screens as I said or Spotify. When I pause a show, it will show the picture with great quality but once I hit play, it is dark and blurry again. My TV is less than two years old.

Re: Roku Streaming Issues dark and blurry

I'm having the same issue except it doesn't correct when unpaused, and Netflix works fine. I factory reset all video settings to no avail. Were you able to find a solution?

For anyone who has this problem in the future, I found a solution! Doing a network connection reset returned everything to normal.

Go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Network connection reset > Reset connection

I hope this helps someone!
