Anybody else's TCL TV's suddenly choking to death on Netflix, HBO, or other 4k/Dolby Atmos/etc content?
It started just before Christmas but the older TVs are damn near useless as of today..
Planned obsolescence or deficient hardware?

Press the Home button on your Roku Remote 5 times.
Now, press the Up button twice.
Next, the Rewind button should be pressed twice.
And finally, the fast Forward button should be pressed twice.
These button combinations will now freeze your Roku TV, turn the screen black and then restart itself right away.

Not a roku tv, but we have one firetv in the kids room and its been damn near unusable since we bought it. I just plugged a external firetv in it and use it that way.

If you haven’t already, maybe try googling the issue. I had a problem with a fire stick(kept dropping Hulu Live), and finally found the suggestion to restart it from the settings. That cleared it up.

I've got four TLC TVs about four years old scattered throughout the house and patio and have not been experiencing any problems.

My issue isnt with hulu. Its the built in firetv that cant keep up with updates and has been slow ever since we bought it. Its a kids tv and they rarely watch it, so I havent ever looked into it. But Ill never buy a tv because some service is built in anymore. Ill always use and external box/device that can be updated/upgraded/or removed. Not that I wont buy a tv with that feature because it seems like most have it, just wont use it.

Possibly. Is your modem and/or router going bad?
What internet download speeds are you getting at your house?

I have to do this a few times a month. Works fine after the fact.
