Can I Download Apps On Roku Tv
Haldis Momeni
If any channels/apps are added/removed from one Roku they are added/removed from every Roku linked to the same Roku account. You can see what Rokus are linked to your account by using the email address that shows up under Settings->System->About to log in at . Check to see if there are any devices shown there that you don't recognize. If the email address that shows under Settings->System-About isn't yours or you don't recognize it then you have bigger problems.
Roku has, in the past, pushed channels. I'm not aware of them doing it recently. Those were big name apps (Showtime, etc) that got a major push. Think along the line of the whole Apple/U2 album release fiasco; everyone got it, despite not wanting it. Roku was doing the same thing around that time.
I was sitting watching TV Netflix on roku and it just logged me out. When I logged back in it said I needed to activate my roku device. So I did that and when the reactivation was complete every app was gone. Even though when I go to roku app and search for all the channel apps I had everyone says they are installed, but nothing is on my TV to choose from.
@Crolson Someone probably got into your account after they bought their own Roku and deleted all of the apps from your devices or something like that. Hopefully @RokuKariza-D or someone else at Roku will explain to you more in this situation.
After entering an app about 5 minutes later it will kick me out of the app and return to the home screen the roku doesn't shut down it's never done this before we've had it for almost a year and it just started doing it the other night I tried resetting the bandwidth and everything nothings working
Im experiencing the exact issue The roku tv worked fine for a little over a year , now it stops streaming after 5 minutes or so and goes back to the Home Screen. These TVs ARENT CHEAP! This should not be happening! It seems hundreds of people are experiencing the same thing.
I am having the same problem. Roku Ultra LT. Device ID 04607F608553. Connected via Ethernet. Happens consistently with YouTube, PBS and Apple TV apps. YouTube crashed repeatedly recently. Did system restart. Problem continues but usually resolves after restarting app after one crash.
I turned on my Hisense Roku TV today and all of my apps on my home screen are now blank. I can't even get to my DVD player button. I do not have my TV hooked up to any wifi, I always just watch my DVD player off of it. I've tried restarting my tv, unplugged my TV for over an hour, reset my TV audio picture settings, I've almost factory reset it but I decided to wait to see if we can figure out what's going on. Any help would be great. I bought this tv less then a year ago. Very frustrating.
I have the sane issue. If reading the original posters problem correctly, they don't mean that single app don't work, they mean the Home/Apps list of all apps installed shows nothing but transparent blank squares. Sometimes they'll pop up and show the list of installed apps, but most the time it'll show nothing but blank squares. I noticed this happen on 2 of my roku devices, both are different devices. 1 a roku streaming sound bar, & the other a roku premiere 4k. It gets very annoying as you can't choose any of your apps cause a screen of transparent squares show where the apps are supposed to be, & even if trying to move to the right of the screen to see if you land on a square maybe the apps might pop up, well they dont, the button click to the right only takes you to the ad banner to the righy of where the apps should be. I really hope there's a fix for this because ive tried everything & the only thing that works is being lucky & having the app list pop up after having the tv turned on with the home screen sitting there blank for no set amount of time before the app list possibly pops up. And even then you still have to be lucky that when it pops up when you finally click to the righy to choose an app to use that the app screen don't disappear right away like it seems to do after it possibly finally pops back up.
Many people are replying back but Roku is crickets. All the suggestions have been a waste of time and effort. The problem occurs on many devices with many apps and the only thing that binds all these people together is they bought Roku TV's and Roku Sticks. It should be obvious it's a problem on your end. Fix it please
ive had the same issues at the same time hulu told me told me to delete the hulu app turn the tv off for a minute the reload the app didnt work yesterday roku said go to network bandwithsaver and turn it off then go toadvance system settings network reset which disconneted the wifi,go back and reconnect wifi networksetup connection . i thought this fixed the problem but this morning im gettin disconnected on hulu it seems to happen when im watching fox on the 1/2 hr or on the hr when programs often change. im going to contact roku again getting tiredof ths BS
Same issue here. Brand new roku hooked directly to my 2 month old Samsung soundbar via its HDMI input - if I fast forward a video and when it starts playing again, there is no sound. This is across all apps - at this point no sound will play on any video no matter the app. I can however still hear UI/system noises, clicks etc. if I reboot the roku it all works again, then boom the problem comes back as soon as I FF or RW.
I have had a problem today, when streaming videos on YouTube, hulu, or any app, after 10/15 minutes of using said app, my roku will go to the home screen? I have tried everything recommended and nothing seems to be working? I have tried unplugging everything, resetting my device, deleting apps, restarting my device.
I would click on the app (let's say YouTube app) and it would act like it's loading then go back to the home screen. So I rest my whole roku over and installed all apps back and still the same thing is going on. This time I tried the Netflix app and still so no rest this time because I don't want to rest put everything in again n over. Getting tired.
I agree all apps should have settings including the ability to turn "autoplay" (in all its forms) on/off - however, for those that don't, you'll need to contact the app developer (Roku doesn't code other services' apps).
Wow, fast feedback, thank you! Perhaps shoulld have said but naturally have already uninstalled app more than once and reinstalled the app with restart and reactivated to no effect. It still needs reactivating the following day. My Mac devices all know I use Infinity and so "reboot" when I click on IDs app and go through a cycle where it loads Xfinity and then ID. But somehow thought Xfinity is the default still in Roku, it doesn't do the same in the app - just this app. The other apps are fine. I always wonder why it does the cycle everywhere twice?
I haven't had that happen for quite awhile. Found out it wasn't my roku player but my internet because of the drain during the first couple months of everyone bing watching in our area. Check with your provider and see if that's the problem
To be honest I was excited when I first saw the roku offerings. Hope that I could either register my cams in Roku app or have Roku app pick up from Wyze. I have Roku TV/boxes and the ability to pull up on tv/projector directly would be cool.

It would be awesome if roku could get a working twitch app. At this point, I would pay money for it - ad supported or not. I can't switch the entire house to fire tv/stick/cube right now but watching twitch on my tv is really important.
Roku devices, if you ask us, are some of the best streaming devices out there. In fact, I recently ditched my Apple TV for Roku, and it's mostly paid off (the Netflix bug on Apple TV 4K has yet to pop up on my Roku Ultra). Unfortunately, I've recently come across an odd bug that makes it look like I have zero apps.
Basically, there's just a giant sea of purple where the apps should be. I don't know how to trigger this issue, it just seems like a problem where the Roku is having trouble loading its app icons. Confusing, right? Well, I'm not exactly alone. A 2020 Roku forums post saw a user share a similar issue, as they noted "none of my channels show up" and a device reset (which I'll explain below) didn't work.
