Set up on my Roku was successful but streaming apps take me right to my home screen help please not sure what to do
When does this happen?
When you select a channel and it tries to load?
After the channel loads and you try to load a video?
Some other condition?
Does it display any error messages?
With nothing else to go on, and no knowledge of what Roku model/model-number you are using, one possibility comes to mind:
If you are powering your Roku by plugging into the USB port on the TV, try powering from house power via the USB power adapter that came with the Roku.
The ports on many televisions only supply 0.5 amp or less, which is not enough to power a Roku reliably. It may appear to start up okay, but when it runs into something that requires more power than the tv's USB port can provide, something's got to give. Frequently this results in shutting down the stream you are viewing and exiting back to the Roku home screen.
If this is a new problem, possibly an update to either the Roku operating software or to some channel app software is using a little more power than in the past, triggering this problem.
If you don't have a Roku adapter handy, any other you have from another device should work as long as the fine print on it says it outputs at least 1 amp.
