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.
When logged int Netflix:
[1] After selection loading never completes.
[2] During playing of a selection playing stops and attempts to load and never starts again.
[3] When trying to select, changing selection takes > 30s.
[4] Unable to change selections.
Before proceeding, may we know if this is the only channel affected by this? If so, are there any error messages prompted on your screen? Since you've performed all the possible troubleshooting steps provided on this thread, we highly suggest reaching out to the channel provider themselves (Netflix Support) for further assistance and clarification, as they are the ones who provided and maintained their channel on the Roku streaming platform. Their channel may need an update from them.
Could you please specify if this issue is only with a particular channel or specific content? We suggest trying a system restart by going to Settings > System > Power > System restart to see if that resolves the issue. If it doesn't, we recommend following the troubleshooting steps provided in this support article on how to resolve a channel playback issue.
May we know what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far? Also, when did you start seeing this issue? Alternatively, upon exhausting the provided fixes, were you able to communicate with the channel provider to inquire further and ask for additional troubleshooting steps? If so, what were your findings?
Following up on this as well... let's see if I can be relatively organized and systematic in how I describe the issue and steps already taken (although assume anything basic like remove/reload app was tried ages ago).
My Netflix "jams up" for lack of a better term, like others in this thread. Mine manifests as such: starting most any program on Netflix will begin for a short period of time, within 30 seconds, the show will start lagging, the audio will drop out (captions will keep running for a bit), then it'll buffer and eventually overload and the app will reset, or it'll just overload and I'll manually have to press the home button a few times for it to "crash" the Netflix app. Immediately going back into Netflix and trying again, yields the same result. Waiting until later, usually yields the same result.
2) I have four active Roku devices two stream bars, one stick, and this TCL/Roku TV. The only device where this is an issue is the TCL/Roku TV. I have not contacted Netflix as this issue does not appear to be any other devices. Just one specific piece of hardware, this TCL/Roku TV.
A simple search of this thread, and then this forum, shows there's no lack of "Netflix and Roku" issues. Is Roku currently acknowledging the volume of recurring/similar issues? Is Roku currently working on fixing this issue?
[00:04:45] Ramit: So the last time we talked in person was in your garage, and we had had a long day filming, and I mean, it was great. I always have a great time talking to you. We chatted a little bit here and there, but I want to know just overall, how are things going? Tell me the good. Tell me the bad. Tell me everything.
What Frank will later admit is that he has been enabled in a variety of ways. He was given money as a child, not taught how to use it. When he won The Circle on Netflix, he was enabled by this huge infusion of cash. He will even later explain that he felt his job enabled him because it was money in and money out, never having to really look at the line items of what he was spending.
And in this way, a cloud has almost been lifted from his eyes, forcing him to get real about money. Incidentally, this is the only way you can get believers to change their behavior, and that is to pull the rug out from under them, because otherwise they continue to be enabled and unrealistic with money.
This is a much more advanced way to look at money, where you make a plan, then you map it out, and you automate it. If you want to do this for your money, you can use my book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, to set this up and then get on with your life.
[00:29:37] Ramit: When you signed up to do this show, and when you heard that somebody was going to come knocking on your door and talk to you about money, what did you think this was going to be?
[00:31:13] Ramit: Okay. All right. I remember that one of the reasons that I wanted to talk to you and that I was really excited to meet you was, first, I looked at your finances while I was sitting in LA, and I remember going, this guy likes to have fun. He likes to have a good time. And I like that. I like people who spend on the things they love.
For younger viewers and families, Prime Video has the recent arrival, My Spy: The Eternal City, as well as an assortment of films from MGM, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, and Paramount. You can find all of our picks for the best movies on Amazon Prime Video below.
In case you're wondering why Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is suddenly on top of the most popular movies on Netflix, there are two things that you should know. First is that every new movie that Sony debuts in 2024 will stream on Netflix, and the other reason is that people just love the Ghostbusters even when the sequels don't quite measure up to the originals. Nostalgia is almost always the king on Netflix, and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is an even better example of that.
But if you're looking for something fresh, one of this week's other new movies, Find Me Falling, is a Netflix original rom-com. You can find those films, and 48 more among our picks for the best movies on Netflix right now. And the great thing about Netflix is that it's always adding new films, which is why we update this list every Friday.
Have you watched Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F? The latest installment in Eddie Murphy's action comedy franchise premiered earlier this month on Netflix to surprisingly positive reviews. Murphy can still flex those movie star muscles when given the right role, and Axel is right up his alley. Other movies on Netflix in July include Spider-Man 2, Bad Boys II, Zombieland, and Vanished into the Night.
Unfortunately, not every movie can stay on Netflix forever. There is a crop of entertaining movies leaving Netflix in July 2024. With under a week left in the month, stop what you are doing and watch these three movies before August 1. Our selections include an iconic psychological thriller, a landmark sci-fi action staple, and an underrated thriller from a Netflix star.

So that you don't have to spend hours searching through thousands of movies, some good, some bad and everything in-between, we've compiled a list of the best science-fiction movies and television shows currently on Netflix.
Synopsis: 13-year-old Adam Reed, still grieving the sudden death of his father a year earlier, walks into his garage one night to find a wounded pilot hiding there. This mysterious pilot turns out to be the older version of himself from the future, where time travel is in its infancy. He has risked everything to come back in time on a secret mission. Together they must embark on an adventure into the past to find their father, set things right, and save the world. Adding to the challenge of the mission, the two Adams discover they really don't like each other very much, and if they're going to save the world, they're first going to have to figure out how to get along.
Why you should watch: Ryan Reynolds leads an all-star cast in this family action drama that incorporates much of Reynold's dry wit. While not paying too much attention to the so-called "rules" of time travel, it brings drama and the complexities of human relationships into a spirited science fiction movie aimed at older kids and young adults. Joining Reynolds is an impressive line up, including Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Zoe Saldana and Catherine Keener. Plus it's directed by Shawn Levy, who also gave us "Free Guy" and "Real Steel."
Synopsis: The story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives. It both captures the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and the lesser-seen bottom up perspective of what it was like from an excited kid's perspective, living near NASA but mostly watching it on TV like hundreds of millions of others. It's ultimately both an exacting re-creation of this special moment in history and a kid's fantasy about being plucked from his average life in suburbia to secretly train for a covert mission to the moon.
