I have a Sharp Roku TV and it keeps dropping whatever I'm watching and switching to the Netflix login screen every 5 minutes or so. I'll be watching a movie on Amazon Prime or HBO and the screen will just go black, and switch over to Netflix. I went to the main menu and checked for the most recent software update, and it's up-to-date, so I'm not sure how else I can fix this. Please help. Thanks!

This would appear to be a remote issue. Please contact your TV's manufacturer directly to report this issue and request additional support. Each Roku TV manufacturer provides direct support and warranty services for their products running the Roku OS.

For my specific issue I finally have an answer. My son is pushing the "cast" button on his Ipad. It had nothing to do with the Roku, remote or TV and everything to do with casting. My son has low vision and hits the wrong icon when trying to perform a search.

There is something wrong - i am watching prime and it keeps switching back to netflix and my son gets logged out from Netflix on the Ipad whenever this happens. Very annoying - it happens often. This seems to be a bug Roku needs to fix it.

My TCL Roku keep switching to HBO this is ridiculous! TV only a year old to be having issues. I need some answers now! I would not be purchasing another TCL tv wouldn't be recommended to family members or friends.

Thanks for your reply. My TV is in living room and H800/AV Receiver is in garage, so it is quite far. I have two HDMIs from TV to garage, but one is not used yet. Can I just hook the spare HDMI to AV receiver? will it magically output audio to AV receiver?

My AV receiver (Denon AVR 3808CI) doesn't support ARC. I am thining of buying a XBox One, hoping it supports both Nexflix and Youtube. As I mentioned above, my TV and H800/AV Receiver are in two places connecting by a long HDMI, I need to figure out how I could place xbox in garage, but console/kinect in the family where TV mounted on wall. Has anyone done that before?

Unfortunately AFAIK there are no proven working extension cables for Kinict on the Xbox One - thank Microsoft for making that connection proprietary. There's lots of reports of people working on it, but at best you're looking at running a specialized cable.

You can do it, search AVS forum for a thread dedicated to extending Kinect with Xbox One. But AFAIK no way to do it with ethernet like you can with the proper setup with Kinect for 360. I've pretty much resigned myself to no Kinect with Xbox One, and at this point its pretty dead anyway. I don't know of anything exciting in the pipeline that wasn't already released long ago. I guess some people live or die with the voice integration, but in a theater situation I'm not sure it would have to be in the front of the room for voice integration (I understand that is not the OPs setup).

I output the AV from XBox one to my AV receiver (Denon AVR 3808CI). I think there is the only thing I need to do as the AV receiver has been outputing video to my smart TV and audio to my speakers for some time. But I don't see anything on my TV. I suppose I need to configure somewhere using Composer 2.6.0.

A few days ago my roommates and myself changed the name of our wifi and since then myself and my other roommate have been unable to "Get Teredo IP" on our XBOX and are unable to play on XBOX live. We can watch Netflix on our Xbox's and access the internet, however we are both unable to play games on xbox live (i.e. access COD servers). Since this problem is happening to both of our consoles I believe it is a problem with our wifi, if anyone has experienced this before please let me know. It is rather frustrating.

I'm also unable to get a Teredo IP address, completely unrelated to SSID. I just upgraded from 600 to Fibre+, and since installing the new hardware, my NAT has been unavailable. I've verified my port forwarding is correct & power cycled my gateway with no success. Ideas?

Do they have wifi? I have a chromecast which I love. You find things on your phone and then cast to the TV - youtube, netflix etc. It also has apps on it and a remote control to control it.
In order to work (and I think firesticks are similar) you need:
TV with HDMI port
Power near the TV to connect it to
Wifi - to connect the chromecast
Ask if they have smart TVs so you can log in on their TV with your accounts.

Different things which do similar - chromecast, roku, firestick

You can connect your iPad to your tv with a special dongle. You have to buy the Apple one or it doesn't work but that effectively puts your iPad screen onto your tv screen so you can steam Netflix that way.

You might want to check the wifi is good enough for that though. If it isn't, you could download a load of stuff I guess

When we go we take our play station which has netflix on it. It worked fine.
You need a hdmi cable to attach to the tv. This is the cable you connect your game console, sky box etc to her tv with.

Apparently this is a common problem. Most TVs won't pass Dolby Atmos through from an external source such as an Xbox or Blu Ray player into a sound bar. You will only get Atmos when it is 'native' to the TV, such as from broadcast, cable or TV app.

Atmos has been designed to transit only from device A to device B, it cannot go from device A through device B into device C except where a few TV manufacturers have flouted the rules. Unfortunately this isn't something you can find in technical specs so you just have to get lucky.

Most Atmos sound bars will include an HDMI output so that an external players such as Blu Ray could go straight into the soundbar first, and the video signal would then be sent to TV from the sound bar. Unfortunately the Sonos Arc does not include an HDMI out.

Hello! I will try to save you time here. The issue is the audio codec used by xbox, playstation, and apple tv 4k. When you switch to atmos they use LPCM. LPCM is not recognized by the ARC. There are a few threads that mention this issue. Sonos has stated they are working on it without an ETA. Dolby digital 5.1 should work but not atmos/true hd until Sonos provides a software update. Good luck and join the folks waiting like myself.

Also to add, you need to setup the Xbox correctly, and you need to download and install the Dolby Atmos Xbox app, and your TV also needs to be setup correctly. That is always the tricky part, as every TV requires different things to be turned on within the system to get this to work.

With the tv internal speakers I get Dolby ATMOS with the Xbox but not on the Apple TV 4K (neither internal nor Sonos Arc). I am just using the internal LG apps for AppleTV+ and Netflix and on my Xbox I just keep it at Dolby Digital.

A major overhaul of the Xbox Live platform is in the works, with the console set to get new online functionality including the ability to talk to friends outside of games and use streaming video and audio services.

Microsoft is expected to announce the new features at E3 next week, although the company hasn't confirmed anything as yet - saying only that it is planning "groundbreaking announcements" at the show, and making vague grammar-bending comments about "innovating the Xbox platform".

One of the key expected upgrades will be to the Xbox Live buddy system, which currently allows players to locate their friends in-game and converse with them using the voice system built into Xbox online titles. Microsoft is now expected to expand this functionality onto the Xbox Live dashboard.

This means that players will be able to see if their friends are online and initiate voice chat with them without starting a game - effectively giving the Xbox its own version of IP telephony, and giving Xbox Live users the ability to effectively make long-distance voice calls for free.

Another major update to the system will be the ability to play music and video either off the Internet or off a PC on a home LAN with the Xbox. At present this functionality exists on chipped Xboxen running third party software; Microsoft may well hook the console into its own DRM (digital rights management) systems, thus allowing people to purchase or rent films and music online and play them on their Xbox.

This upgrade would effectively make the Xbox into a living room media centre as much as a console - something which commentators have been predicting since the console was first announced several years ago. It would certainly make the Xbox into a more attractive option for many consumers, and through the online movie and music purchase or rental systems, would give Microsoft a new way to recoup its losses on the Xbox hardware.

One thing which still hasn't been mentioned officially, but which may well happen in the future, is the integration of Internet Explorer with the console. If these rumoured upgrades turn out to be true, the Xbox will effectively have variants on the Windows Messenger, IP telephony and Windows Media technologies built-in; the one key component of Microsoft's online services that's missing is Internet Explorer. There's undoubtedly a worry, however, that should the company integrate IE into the box, people will start buying the Xbox purely as a set-top box - which is almost exactly what Microsoft is trying to prevent with its crackdown on mod chips.
