    Bought this in March of 2024...it's now end of May 2024 and it no longer holds a signal. I purchased a Roku stick for $19 about 6 years ago and it still works flawlessly. It's a shame these days that you have to buy a service plan on everything because they know things are just junk now.

    Drops Wifi Connection

    Very disappointed in this Roku Express. I’ve owned many Roku devices and they’ve all worked great. This one, not so much. It regularly drops wifi connection. It’s not an internet issue, it’s a Roku issue. All troubleshooting options don’t resolve the issue.

    3rd device but still has a glitch

    My specific reason for buying the Roku was to allow AirPlay on my older Vizio Smart TV. Although, when turning on the Roku & TV. I have experienced a black screen that shows no video only audio. It is very odd as this occurs after each time the Roku is turned on from an original off state. This issue only affects any video played on the device. That means casting YouTube videos or streaming videos from the native Roku Youtube app still causes a black screen with only audio. Same issue persists with all streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu etc.. Solving this issue, it is suggested to restart the device by going in the system settings and clicking restart. Again it only affects videos but you can still go back to the Home Screen and navigate just fine. I have factory reset my device multiple times. I even switched devices from the Roku Stick to the Roku Express from Best Buy with the same issue. And even had to purchase one from a different retailer only to find the same issue. Customer service recommended to go into settings and force a restart but there is no permanent solution. Each time I fire up Roku I have to immediately restart it or else I will get only audio. This is my experience with Roku and it hasn’t been a pleasant one. I would recommend buying a newer TV with built in Streaming devices such as Airplay included.

    The Roku Stick works excellent, but this Roku keeps dropping internet even when the stick is working fine and further away from the wifi router. Pay the extra for the Stick.

    Controller had issues from the beginning. Straight from the box. We assumed the batteries had died so we changed them a few times but no the remote was the problem. You had to push the buttons down super hard to move to the options you wanted to go to.

      Hello, thanks for your feedback. If you are receiving an on-screen error message indicating that your player is too warm, we invite you to visit: go.roku.com/tempcheck.

      You may want to try finding a cooler location for your Roku player. For example, avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, or inside a cabinet (or other enclosed space). Similarly, avoid placing the unit on top of other electronic devices such as cable boxes, routers, or audio/video receivers, as these also tend to emit heat.

      If your issue persists, please send us an email at support.roku.com/contactus so we can help you directly,

      Thanks!

    Faulty unit. Got sick right after it was delivered so it didn't get installed right away. Then it was too late to return it. Contacted the manufacturer who was unhelpful. Bummer!

      Hello, we appreciate you reaching out and we'd like to help!

      First, remove the power cable from your Roku device, wait 5 seconds and then re-connect the power cable. Wait until your Roku device displays the home screen. Now, restart your remote by removing and reinserting the batteries. Then, press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds until you see the status light begin to flash. If the light does not flash, replace the batteries with a new, fresh set. Wait for 30 seconds while the remote establishes a connection with your Roku device. Once the Roku device is connected to the remote, the pairing dialog should appear on your TV screen.

      If you continue having remote troubles, send us an email so that we can assist. Visit support.roku.com/contactus to get started.

      We hope this helps!

    Trouble loading menu

    I like Roku’s menu and navigation, but this one doesn’t load/turn on consistently for me. Not sure if it’s my Wi-Fi signal or something with the device, but it’ll show its loading and do the bubble chimes when I turn it on but then screen goes black and nothing happens. I have to turn it off and then on again. Usually after the second time the menu appears and once on it works fine. Kind of annoying though.
