I have a client with a theater we installed several months ago.  It consists of a Epson 6050, Yamaha Pre/Pro, with a Binary HDBaseT with in-wall mounted receiver in the ceiling over the projector.  The only source is Roku.  All of the streaming channels work fine except Netflix.  When he selects Netflix, he gets no picture and an HDMI - No Signal message.  I have not been back on site to troubleshoot, so haven't done much testing.  I can try bypassing the Pro/Pro or grabbing the Roku and installing at the projector to test when I go back.  Wondering though if anyone has seen anything like this where just one streaming source does not work.  I believe the sources themselves do not have separate resolution settings so not sure what would cause this.

We just ran into this on Monday. We changed the output resolution in the Roku from Auto to 4K @ 30hz and then everything worked fine. Good luck!

In your case, did everything work except Netflix before you changed the settings?

Yup. This was the first time we had seen this.

About 2 minutes after reading this comment a client texted me.

"Its Netflix that is the problem, we watched HBO all weekend and soon as we switched to Netflix the TV went to no signal"

Procrastinating on paperwork really paid off on this one. Thanks!

I had an issue with ROKU that did not make much sense and couldn't be fixed by changing resolutions -- until I rebooted ROKU, then everything was OK.

Also been there, done that, switched off Auto.

I suspect it's as much that Roku's menu vs Netflix on screen overlay vs the program all having different resolution outputs.

Just had a similar problem with a client who called me last night. I told him to reboot the Ultra and it worked.

If you read the hundreds of posts on reddit under "Tales from Tech Support" you will find a surprisingly large percentage of posts from tech service saying that turning it off and back on again was the cure. I say "surprisingly large" because we should all have that near the start of our troubleshooting list, but it seems to be so easy to forget! Even those of us who admonish others to do that will sometimes be surprised that that is the solution.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Lets not muck this thread up with another Ernie side bar.  Lets go on the assumption that everyone here knows how to do their job and rebooted first (first thing we do and did in this case).  Reboot did not fix.

This thread was perfect timing. I was running into this exact situation. I set the Roku output to fixed and boom it worked.
So thanks
