ITVX black screen after an advert break

I am also having the same issues where the screen goes black after the adverts on ITVX. It usually happens on the adverts mid way through the program or the last advert.

Re: ITVX black screen after an advert break

HI, As others have reported, in the last couple of weeks my Roku Expres has started to do the same, black screen after an advert break on ITVX, needs to go right back to home screen and then back into ITVX. Typically, in a one hour program it always happens after the third (last) set of adverts. Details as requested above are :

Model : Roku Express 3920 EU - Streaming Stick 4K

Serial No : X01700H51YPL

Software : 12.5.5 Build 4174-CU

Device ID : S09241A51YPL

Network Signal Strength: Excellent, Internet 35MBbps

ITVX version:  3.11 build 1

I have tried removing ITVX, then restarting Roku, then adding ITVX again ... but it happened again afterwards!

This is becoming VERY annoying.

Re: ITVX black screen after an advert break

Hi @Mavison,

Welcome to the Roku community!

We appreciate your additional report about this issue with the ITVX channel and your troubleshooting effort.

We'll take care of this information and forward it over to the appropriate Roku team for further investigation.

In the meantime, we'll also recommend getting in touch with the channel support team and reporting this. If an issue is isolated to a specific channel, this is likely an issue that can be rectified with the channel team with an update. Most of the channels on Roku are handled and maintained directly by the channel provider themselves.

You can contact them here: How can I contact the ITVX viewer support team? - ITVX Help

Best regards,
Rey

Re: ITVX black screen after an advert break

@RokuERey I have reported to ITVX support.

<Edit>

They suggested router poweroff, Roku poweroff, and clear cache.

It all (as I expected) had no effect, as the problem recurred afterwards!

I await further suggestions from Roku or ITVX.

I also have the same problem at the end of the last set of adverts in a one hour programme.
