My new Roku Ultra keeps losing its HDMI connection to my TV
This is a nice addition to the Roku lineup but it has a major flaw. Once it started happening to me, I checked the internet and found out that quite a few others are having similar problems. About 1/3 of the time when I turn on my TV and Roku, it indicates there is no signal to the TV. The various fixes suggested for this involve connecting to other TV HDMI inputs, swapping in new HDMI cables, reversing those HDMI cables, and cleaning the contacts on the HDMI cables and the HDMI plugs on both ends. I can certify that none of these work reliably and, if they do at first, the problem will shortly recur. Based on my and other users' experiences, it appears clear to me that the problem is either in the Roku's HDMI plug or the associated wiring/firmware/components. The only way I've found to restore the signal consistently is to power down the Roku and it will make the connection instantly as soon as the Roku reboots. I've seen Roku reps continuing to give the same advice to others who notice the problem and I've seen no signs that they are investigating it as a design or manufacturing problem. This is the only Roku I've had with this problem and I've owned about eight up to now. I'm not sure what to do, but my next step will be to specifically contact Roku, if they don't respond to this, and try for a replacement unit (or two - I have another I bought at the same time that I don't use much but may have the same problem when that happens. I'll swap the two I have and see what happens next.)
I had the same issue with 2 ROKU Ultra’s and my Visio TV. The fix was going into the ROKU Ultra advanced video settings and changing from Auto Detect display type to 4K HDR TV. Never lost the signal after that.
for some reason the ROKU thinks my TV is compatible with Dolby vision and selects that type when it’s in AUTO. But that leads to a No input and a blank screen
