Forum Discussion
Social media has zero impact on Roku. Their only interest is in selling more devices, after you bought it, problems and all you're on your own. Went thru several months of heartburn last year over network issues, many, many complaints in these forums. Zero resolution. Roku's universal response is limited to "disconnect then reconnect power". I also now went to HDHomerun and it plays 30 seconds and stops the stream. Also at that point it does not release the receiver which still will show as being active. Firestick much better but more confusing to use.

Yeah. Talk to the hand (I guess). Once in a while an HDHomerun show will play on Roku, and firestick is reliable, but I'd rather watch from my iPad or desktop PC. (Mac Mini is choppy.)

Dear Danny,
1. I have 6 Roku devices, including a stick, a new model puck, a late model puck and 3 TVs of various sizes from TCL. If it's a hardware issue, it exists for most of the Roku family.
2. I am running the latest build of HDHomeRun, V55.0 build 20200504
3. Issue ID 39-427-270
4. Select an OTA channel like ABC via HDHomerun, usually it gets kicked back to reselect an OTA channel after a few minutes.
