This worked for me. Thank you

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply.

I am still getting the green screen issues. I was monitoring as I believed it was limited to just the ITVx app, however this is not the case as it happens on other apps too.

I have replaced the Roku supplied HDMI cable with a high quality cable, but with to no avail.

The only way to clear is to restart both the Streambar and the TV!

Starting to get a bit annoyed with it now, especially as it doesn't happen with any of the other Roku devices I have.

Hi @Kirbster,

Thank you for keeping us posted here in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you letting us know about your streaming issues on your Roku device. We will work with you to know what went wrong so we can assist you further and fix the issue. For us to know more about the issue you are experiencing, kindly provide us with additional information:

• When did the issue occur?
• What software version is your Roku device currently running? (Check on Settings > System> About.)
• Have you tried updating your software to the latest version?
• Can you send us a photo of the running issue as our reference?

In the meantime, you can also try to power-cycle your Roku device (unplug and replug from the power source or outlet).

We'll be anticipating your reply.

Kind regards,                                                                                                                                    Eunice

Hi, 

System software version is 12.5.5 build 4174-95.

Unable to update as the system is stating that this is the latest version and it checks every day to ensure it is up to date too.

The green screen started about 4 weeks ago.

I am unable to send a photo at this stage as the issue is sporadic!

I have carried out the power cycle as suggested every time it happens as it is the only way to "reboot" / clear the issue when it happens.

Hi @Kirbster,

Thank you for the quick response!

We appreciate you providing these details. Kindly send us a photo once it happens again so we can examine it better on our end. 

What is the brand of the TV that you are using? This might also be an issue with the TV so we recommend reaching out to your TV manufacturer too if the issue occurs again for more advice.

Let us know how it goes, and we will continue to assist you further. We are eager to hear from you and investigate this matter further. Thank you!

Kind regards,
Eunice

It's not the TV, as I have tried it in multiple. Sony, Samsung and TCL (which to be fair is Roku powered)

I can send you a photo, but not sure what that will achieve as it will just be a screen that is totally green. 

Apologies I'm not sure what pantone number the green being displayed is.
