I tried multiple channels and it happens on all of them. However, last night the problem worsened. Everything on home screen is visible, every channel is visible. Once I select a show, any show, the audio begins but I have no picture at all. I have reset multiple times with no help. Disconnected and reconnected the Roku with no difference. I have updated with no difference. I am very disappointed in my purchase. What more can I do? My TV is useless!
Try setting the Display type on your Express to the display resolution of your TV, rather than "Auto detect".
From the Roku home screen go to Settings > Display type.
When you change the Display type to a new setting it runs you through several screens:
• A screen that lists the display options supported by that Roku device and allows you to choose one. It will warn you if your TV has not indicated it supports your choice but will still allow you to try it.
• A screen with a picture, with two options below it: "No, there's a problem" and "Yes I see it". The "No" option is highlighted by default. To keep the screen setting you're currently trying, you have about 15 seconds before the page times out to arrow over to the "Yes" option and click on it.
If your screen just goes black and stays that way, or if your TV displays a "No Signal" or similar warning, in about 15 seconds it should return to the previous menu. If it doesn't, press the Back Arrow button on your remote to return to the menu you could see.
I have done this multiple times also with no results
Hi @kjc23,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop. We appreciate all the troubleshooting steps you took to resolve this concern.
Do you happen to have another TV where we can hook up the Roku Express? We want to observe if the issue persists with a different TV.
Please keep us posted.
