Why is HBO Max causing Roku to overheat?

Jump to solution

EXACTLY!  We are new to HBO Max. We have had our 4K streaming stick since 2019 and no problems. 

Watched hours of stuff on various streaming sites and NEVER had a overheating issue. Even with the previous HBO. But with HBO Max overheating!!!!

What can ROKU do for us?
