Only using 1/4 of my screen

When I start playing a movie it only plays in the top right corner of the screen!!!!!!! I have tried several different movies and all do the same 😡 It's not my TV as all other channels are fine!!!

Hello NOW TV forum moderators,

 

How about merging this topic together with this Only using 1/4 of my screen topic?

This seems to be affecting more n more Roku users... This suggests to me that it's not the compatability to our TVs... I have now cancelled my subscriptions due to this issue not being fixed! It's weird because the whole layout of the selection films is on the whole screen and the buffering sign is in the middle of the screen whilst the movie is loading yet when the movie starts it only plays in the top right hand corner. I would like my £9.99 refunded for this month but I won't hold my breath

Mine is doing the same. It's only when I start the film the screen reduces down to 1/4. Tried reset update and unplugging. Hope this is fixed soon else may have to cancel subscription

Hi @Anonymous User @Anonymous User

make sure the display settings on your Roku are set to at least 720p. 1080p if the Roku/TV you have supports it.

 

Also check the display settings on your TV as it's possible something in your TVs display settings could be affecting it. There is often a picture size/picture scaling setting make sure this is set to either "auto wide" or "16:9"

 

Hope that helpsSmiley Happy

I have the same problem. A small picture in the top left of the screen. I haven't found a solution yet.  Must be a now tv issue as netflix and amazon are all OK
