If your Roku TV keeps going back to the home screen, it can be frustrating, especially if you're in the middle of watching a show or movie.
One common reason for this issue is a loose HDMI connection, which can cause the TV to lose signal and revert to the home screen. Make sure all cables are securely plugged in.
Another possible cause is an outdated software, which can lead to system crashes and restarts, forcing you to go back to the home screen. Check your Roku TV's software version and update it to the latest version if necessary.
A third reason could be a problem with the TV's memory, which can cause the system to freeze and restart, resulting in the home screen appearing again. Clearing the cache and restarting the TV might resolve the issue.

Many users have reported this issue on various channels, including Netflix, and it's not just limited to one device model. The problem persists even after trying troubleshooting methods like deleting and reinstalling channels, restarting the device, and replacing cables.

Some users have been able to reproduce the issue on multiple devices, including the Roku Express and the Streaming Stick+, and have even tried replacing the device with a new one, but to no avail.
To help Roku investigate the issue, users are being asked to provide details such as their device model, serial number, device ID, and software version, as well as a Tracker ID generated by pressing the Home button five times and the Back button five times.
Here are some specific examples of users who have reported this issue:
- Diane Ault reported that she had left her Roku streaming stick unplugged for two weeks, but the problem persisted when she plugged it into a different TV.
