Channel Issues & Questions

I have Roku Express for my TV. Nearly every app I use crashes within 3 minutes of playing something. I’ve tried removing the apps, rebooting the system, and adding them back in that order and nothing has changed. I am at a loss for what to do, it makes my watching experience pretty much unbearable and it’s been like this for weeks. Any help is welcome

If you are powering your Roku by plugging into the USB port on the TV, try powering from house power via the USB power adapter that came with the Roku.  Many USB ports only supply 0.5 amp which is not enough to power a Roku reliably.

If you don't have the Roku adapter handy, any other you have from another device should work as long as the fine print on it says it outputs at least 1 amp.
