Roku customer service indicates they have a problem causing xfinity app to have audio and video out of sync.

roku has not been able to supply an estimated fix date so I purchased a fire stick. I find it unacceptable that I have had xfinity app audio and video sync issue for weeks and roku is still unable to provide and estimated fix date.

In general I must say roku is not the way to stream.

Mine does this every 20 minutes or so. Have to go back to the Xfinity menu screen and then back into the station I'm watching.

Same for me. I have been working with xfinity and roku on this issue. Roku seem to believe this is their issue and related to a server outage.

The reason I went with a fire stick is because I have had this issue for weeks (approaching 2 months), and roku can’t even provide an estimate of when the issue may be resolved.

if you ask me I would never buy a roku device or tv. I guess I also understand why sony does’t offer a roku tv.

I guess roku has no motivation to resolve issues. Follows the saying “buyer beware”.

I don't have Xfinity, but if I did, that's what I would drop.

I am finding out of sync audio to video also lately. I does not seem to relate to a specific Roku device or something I am watching. Last night, watching SkinWalker Ranch on my 65" inch TV powered by a Roku Sound Bar, this out of sync happened until I had to return to the main menu and then back again. Now this morning I am watching a podcast on my 32" TV powered by a regular Roku device and again, the audio and video went out of sync. This sure is annoying at best.

My Roku crashed a few days later and would no longer connect to the WiFi unless it was just a few inches away from the router. I have a feeling that a lot of these are wearing out. I bought a Google Chromecast, and couldn't be happier.

@Johnrl, of course you should do a "System restart" (not a "Factory reset").  It's no different than rebooting your computer or cycling the power.
