It took me 3 hours to get the the roku to upload the roku software I kept getting a 011 error code. I had to go through all the reboot set up several times. That should not take so long and be so frustrating
I decided to go with Roku for the content availability over and above my Netflix.I had been using a Blue-ray with web access as my portal, but it stopped working. I plugged in the stick and after a few minutes of registering, we were off and running. So far very happy with function and content.
I am concerned because the Roku is extremely WARM to touch when plugged into the TV and outlet. When it's unplugged from the wall (but still plugged into the TV) it is a little cooler. I am concerned about the Roku causing an electrical fire.
Not sure if it's the Roku or the streaming services, but although things started off pretty well, lately I've been experiencing an annoying amount of freeze-ups and "loading...please wait" interruptions on both Sling and Watch ESPN. It's just hasn't been as reliable as I would like. I have good broadband and a strong signal according the Roku.
This is our 2nd Roku, the 1st one was the XD and worked fine. We purchased the streaming stick and were unable to sync it with the remote; attempted to troubleshoot, and ended up downloading the Andriod app to use as the remoe.
