Netflix is about the only thing I can watch but only for a short time before being kicked out and sent back to the home screen.  I signed up for a trial of AMC+ and I can not play anything.  It kicks me out as well.  My internet connection is excellent so I dont know what the problem is unless it's the Roku Express I just purchased 2 days ago.

Hey @Tlopez79

Thanks for the post. 

Could you tell us how your Roku Express is powered? Is it connected to the USB port of the TV or to a wall outlet? In some cases, the USB power provided by the TV is not sufficient to power the device. Even though your Roku device may appear to be working, running with insufficient power can lead to instability, crashing, and other unpredictable behavior.

Using the included power cord and power adapter, we suggest plugging your Roku into a working power outlet in the wall. Powering it through a power outlet in the wall has the additional advantage that your Roku player will not need to power up every time you turn on your TV. This means your Roku player will be up and running faster than it would be connected to a TV.

Let us know how it goes!

All the best,
Kariza

It is plugged directly into the wall. It is still kicking me out of programs.

These things are just little special purpose computers. Like their big brothers sometimes clearing things out by restarting them is all it needs.

Restart via Settings > System > System restart (Or for Roku TV: Settings > System > Power > System restart)

If a restart doesn't do it, try pulling the power plug to the device for a minute or so then plugging it back in.

Same here. Boots me out of Pluto, Roku, Tubi and others. It's constant. I have to continually update it, then force a manual restart. And the TV is configured to auto update.

Have you tried the suggestion I provided in my post above? I'd recommend starting there then let us know if there's any difference after.

Please keep us posted.
