Re: Netflix Crashing on Roku and TV not responding 2024

I’ve been having the same issues forever. I am using a Roku soundbar. Only Netflix freezes (but on rare occasion prime video as well)  it freezes so bad I have to manually remove power. For YEARS you’ve given the same canned reply and not once helped anyone fix this issue with YOUR product.

I've removed the app, cleared the cache, restarted and reinstalled to no avail. It is time to file with the FCC for a faulty device with refusal of support. 

I will be replacing my surround sound and throwing the Roku in the garbage. Complaints will be filed with the BBB and FCC. Time to move to fire stick people! $&@% this scam of a company.

Re: Netflix Crashing on Roku and TV not responding 2024

Roku is so terrible - and the same unserious replies to everyone experiencing problems with no actual updates on the supposed "investigation" is incredibly insulting to your customers. Stunning levels of dishonesty.

It's also hilarious that I keep seeing ads for "Introducing Roku Pro Series TVs" - you seriously think I am going to buy more **bleep** products from your **bleep** company? Get bent.

Netflix on my R635 now no longer displays HDR or Dolbyvision. What gives? Any fixes?

Same issue here in June of 2024.  Problem will persist for weeks and then go away for days before returning intermittently.  No other apps behave this way, no other smart TV brands in our home do this.

I'll get about ten minutes into whatever I'm watching, the stream will freeze for a second, and the TV reverts back to home screen.

I have tried all suggested fixes, including app removal, clear cache, reset, even factory reset.  All suggestions from Roku so far have not worked.

I have been fighting this exact same issue for several years and am extremely frustrated with Netflix.

No it does not work. Even factory reset does not work. And Roku customer support is dumb.

These instructions are not helping anyone. If only Netflix and YouTube are having the problem, then it is the Roku problem. Roku has hardware problems.

Re: Netflix Crashing on Roku and TV not responding 2024

I just had the Netflix blinking problem on my Roku soundbar. I did all the steps outlined by Roku to no effect.  I went to Netflix for help. They told me to reverse the HDMI cable connection. Inexplicably, that worked. But I’m furious that Netflix and Roku are not fixing this problem themselves. We are all paying too much money to Netflix to have to jump through these hoops.

Re: Netflix Crashing on Roku and TV not responding 2024

It’s only Netflix that is lagging and freezing up….  I can open any other app on the Roku and it works just fine..   Netflix app on Roku is garbage..   fix your mess Netflix!
