Roku app update introduced a bunch of bugs.
The app ran on my Roku express and TV just fine until recently. It never handled low signal well and if it had to retune to a channel more than once it would freeze. I could live with that. Now, since about a week ago, both the express and TV exhibit these issues.
Will begin to tune into a channel and the bar will stop part way and freeze needing to restart the app and try again. These are channels with strong signal strength that I watch frequently. It never did that before, used to tune in fine consistently.
The bar will make it all the way across and then bring up a blank screen. I have to go back to the guide and try again. This is also with strong channels that I watch frequently.
When watching a favorite channel, going back to the guide used to drop you into your favorite channels. Now it drops you in the middle of the guide and you have to scroll back to your favorite channels.
Channel guide used to always be populated. Now it says no data and then fills in, so you have to hesitate on each page waiting for it to fill in the data. I had never seen this issue before the last update.
I've had to do this a lot in the last week. Sometimes trying 2 or 3 times before it will finally tune into the channel without freezing or giving me a blank screen, sometimes it works the first time, maybe 50%. This is on 2 different devices and it started at the same time.
I still love the hardware and what it does, I just wish the software would behave. I don't watch TV too much, that's why I dropped cable and put up an antenna to begin with, so I use the PC or phone apps rarely. Not sure about those, I will test them today.
