I'm having the same problem. The roku streaming is now so bad that I'm looking into cancelling my TV service altogether. Every other streaming app on my roku comes thorugh in HD or 4K. So frustrating.

I have had 2 technicians come out and they have come to the conclusion that the problem is the app. I have a Roku Ultra hardwired to my Xfinity modem ant the issue with a blurry screen ONLY occurs with the Stream App. Specificaly with local TV stations. News, sports, etc. Even the "live evictions" on Big Brother. CBS. Resolution starts out great, then about 10 seconds later, drops to a lower resolution.

The Apple TV app used to work fine on my roku, now when I go into the app the main screen & menus is zoomed in so it's too large to see the whole page. When I select a movie or show, it displays fine; only the Apple TV screens, menus, and screensaver are too large for the screen.

@DocX36 my TV is only 720 also, but I tried switching to auto detect, which said my HDMI is capable of 1080 (which is true, even though my TV isn't} and it worked and everything looks right. I was just testing to see what happened, because like you I thought there wasn't an answer. But it seems to be the answer, it just wasn't clarified for those of us without 1080 TVs.

You are correct! I just posted the same issue. Just found this thread. Same issue. Has nothing to do with 1080P. I have a 2009 Insignia which does not support 1080P! Frustrating that it only happens with Apple TV. All other streaming channels work flawlessly. Pic one enlarged. Cant access libarry. Pic 2 normal which is on my other 4 roku's thankfully.

I have the same issue: it seems that the Apple TV app is scaling for an higher resolution the landing screen, the main menus, the options menus, the login-scree and even the subtitles. I am using a Roku TV Stick Ultra and a 720p TV.

What is being said here is that the LANDING SCREEN, MAIN MENUS, OPTION SCREENS are scaling to a higher resolution. From what I can tell this higher resolution is indeed 1080p (I verified this by connecting to a 1080p monitor). Other Roku applications (i.e. Disney+, Hulu, Netflix) work properly in 720p.

Again, the question/issue is that the desired resolution is 720p, not 1080p- We know it works in 1080p... As stated, the problem is only occurring at the main menu screen and options, etc. Video plays fine (if you can select it). And other Roku apps such as Netflix and Hulu work fine at 720p. As far as I can tell it's an issue with the Apple TV app for Roku...
