Re: Tv keeps returning to home screen

Hi @Biness,

A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!

We understand you're having a problem with the Roku TV since it was reverting back to the home screen after launching a channel. We're happy to assist you further. Can you please provide the following information below?

  • Did we recently make any changes to your network or network provider?
  • Is this happening on all channels and contents, or is it isolated? (Specify)
  • When did the issue start?
  • Have you tried restarting your wireless network connection and Roku TV?

Please keep us posted on what you find out.

Best regards,                                                                                                                                        John

Re: Tv keeps returning to home screen

@Biness,

We appreciate the update,

A factory reset clears the majority of data from your Roku device and restores it to a factory default configuration. If you are able to control your Roku device, you can easily perform a factory reset from the Settings menu. If you cannot control your device or it is completely unresponsive, you can perform a factory reset using the physical Reset button on the device.

Perform the following steps with your Roku remote or the Roku mobile app.

  1. Press Home  on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select System
  4. Select Advanced System settings
  5. Select Factory reset
  6. If you have a Roku TV, select Factory reset everything. Otherwise, move to the next step.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions

Please keep us updated on your progress so that we can continue to assist you. We look forward to your response.

Thanks,
Arjiemar
