We've had Roku TV for a while now and in the past month or so sometimes the menu screens would only show a few letters. The only way to fix this is to reset the Roku. Anybody else have this problem and what is the fix?

There's no fix yet, but it is a known issue:

Thank you! The only fix for us is to reboot the Roku.

Same issue here. Rebooting the device corrects the missing letters, but annoying to have to reboot this device. Will happen a couple of times a day.

A system update to the software on the Roku was available and was installed a couple of days ago. Thus far, no issues with the missing letters from any of the apps or the Roku software. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for this site and user information!

Missing letters are back in force.

Today is November 3.  This has been going on for more than 6 months.

Hi @JFEREJOHN,

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community!

May we know which Roku device you have that is still experiencing this issue? (e.g., Roku Express, Roku Streambar, Roku TV—specify TV) Have you tried updating your software? What software version are you currently on?

We'll be waiting for your response.

Kind regards,

Eunice

I've been dealing with this for months. Reset, hard reset, pressing buttons on the remote reset, unplugged for days..nothing works and it's so annoying!
