Apple TV app color rainbow.

The Apple TV app on my roku tv ( not Apple TV unit) has turned all colors into a super colored rainbow. Best way I can explain. Everything online refers to the Apple TV unit and options I don’t have. All other apps work fine. How to fix it?

"Try uninstalling, restarting, and clearing cache on Roku

The most obvious response to an app not working on just about anything is to uninstall it, and then re-install it. But even before that, you can attempt to knock out the cobwebs by restarting your Roku first. Here’s how you can restart your Roku:

Press the Home Button five (5) times on your remote

Press the Up Arrow once

Hit the Rewind Button twice

Press the Fast Forward button twice

This will automatically restart your Roku after a few moments, and then you can attempt to open the Apple TV app again. When restarting the Roku, this method automatically clears the cache on your Roku, essentially getting two birds with one stone.

If that doesn’t work, you’ll want to uninstall the Apple TV app and then reinstall it onto your Roku device."

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the Apple TV app isn't working properly, and we'd like to assist. Does this happen with all shows and movies you try to watch or only specific content? Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app and restarting your Roku device?
