No volume control
on April 9, 2023
Posted by: Turn it up
Never imagined a roku that doesn't allow you to adjust the volume. Will be returning tomorrow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Posted by: Irritated
Don't buy it. There's no customer support for this device and the Internet has been useless. Neither this one or the 4K will connect to the mobile app. Abosolute TRASH
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Website is useless for help

I have been a Roku user for 9 years. My oldest one works perfect. I bought a new roku last year and it worked for about a month. Now another new one arrived today and it won’t power on. All is connected properly. Tried both tvs but nothing. Reconnected old Roku and it works perfectly. Website offers links but the links lead to ads. It is useless for support!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Channels keep logging out of tv provider

Been having issues for months where in the middle of watching games the content just cuts out. I’ve followed a multitude of online guides for resolving these issues but nothing has worked.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Mike, this does not sound like typical behavior and we'd like to help. Is this only happening on one channel?
It's difficult to determine the cause of this error without learning more. Sometimes, performing a system restart on the player can resolve this. Other times, you might need to uninstall and reinstall the affected channels, check the status of your wireless connection, or contact the channel's service provider.
Our Support site has a robust FAQ article that may help, too. Learn more: https://support.roku.com/article/208755548. If your issue continues, please contact us directly at support.roku.com/contactus so that we can assist.

Could have a longer lifetime...
on February 2, 2023
Posted by: John
from Ohio
We have 2 Express and one Ultra. The Express models seem to get too hot and when that happens the WiFi gets flakey and they die. Had one suddenly show marginal signals from my router only 10 feet away and line of sight! Still streams but when I used it on a TV farther away from the router (and where it had been working fine until recently...), it shows no signal and refuses to connect. Same thing happened to a previous Roku model we had (pre-Express I think).

Does Not Live Up To The Hype
on January 11, 2023
Posted by: Bookie84
I purchased the Roku Express almost a month ago. It worked great for three days, now I have to constantly reconnect to my wifi network before I can watch anything or reset the box every couple of hours because it stops working. I only bought the Roku Express because my Roku TV quit supporting my wifi network and I couldn't find another Roku TV I could afford.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Installation problem
on December 29, 2022
Posted by: PhatDaddy
from Baltimore
I own 5 Roku Expresses and generally like them. The first I bought for an old tv to make it a smart tv and it worked great. Now replacing that Roku with a new Roku Express (my dog ate my original) I cannot install it. The instructions state to go to website for tips. I did and what I found was just ads for Roku. Not helpful at all.
