Re: Manually Selected Display Type keeps reverting to Automatic

Thanks and that does have at least some logic to it. Many sites will give you the option to 'trust' a given device to avoid this, but I guess spammers will always find ways to circumvent the system.

Hopefully I won't need to be hanging around here all that often now that I seem to have the fix I need.

@atc98092, I wish that was true.  I have to go through a captcha if I'm away for more than about 15 minutes. 🙄😡

Re: Manually Selected Display Type keeps reverting to Automatic

This worked perfectly for me so far.

  1. Secret Menu Option (Note: This is not officially supported and may change):

    • Press the Home button on your Roku remote five times.
    • Immediately press Down, then Left.
    • Press Up three times.
    • The HDMI secret menu should appear
    • It will then display the resolution settings your Roku can use. Then just click the "Disable Automatic Recovery"
    • I found this answer on the Copalite app

Re: Manually Selected Display Type keeps reverting to Automatic

Thanks! This problem has been annoying the **bleep** out of me as Prime Video would only play shows in 1080P with the stupid Roku stick in automatic display settings. Shame on Roku for not fixing this bug after so long!!! I’ll switch to Apple TV and ditch this **bleep** stick the first chance I got.
