Not using the fire stick often these days , just tested and rebooted , home screen seems OK , Im also using Getflix DNS . I thought I had this issue a few months back and I was suspecting my WiFi .

I have the same issues with the home screen not loading while using Getflix. I note that I can still access Pluto TV once I get the app running within the Fire TV so the Fire TV is definitely running through Getflix's proxy

I'm on Getflix and no problems last nite or this morning but just refreshed home page and back to "Home page not available" last time it was a faulty router.

Happened to me 3 times yesterday on Getflix. Easy fix - tether Firestick with your phone (preferably when on the 4G network). The home screen comes back. Then return to using your home WiFi and (for me anyway all the tiem) the home screen comes back.

Been away for a few days and tonite I can't load the home screen on my Fire TV on Getflix, just get the black screen with cycling dots . Apple TV can access ok but of course not all the apps.
