Look i understand how upset everyone is, Including myself. This Hisense TV was **bleep** too… however I don’t think its fair to blame faulty hardware manufacturer on Roku…. Look I’m an IT Admin. Roku is just an operating system like Windows 10 or Android. If you buy a piece of junk cheap or free android phone, or you buy the cheapest win 10 laptop you can find, You will have nothing but trouble out of it. Thats as simple as i can make it.
Roku is facing the same problems as windows and Android. If you paired its operating system with a high end TV. You would be perfectly happy. IT would last for years, it would hardly ever freeze up. Space would never be an issue. Roku is a fantastic smart TV Platform. Its just a shame it seems only **bleep** TV’s are using it. I think its time for Roku to set standards and force these vendors to use better hardware.
Android had to do this several years ago. Not so long ago, you were lucky to get any updates on your phones. Hardware was **bleep**…. It had cool features but most phones was under powered. Then android forced phones to at least support 2 years of updates, and phones suddenly started getting better. While there is still a difference between low end and high end phones, Even the lowest spec phone this year, is light years better than high end phones 2 years ago. I think that says a lot about how Android stepped up spec requirements and reeled in its vendors.
Its time for Roku to force these cheap TV Vendors to step up there spec’s and force them to give longer warranties. I guarantee if these TV’s had 3 year warranties, you’d at least get 3 years an 1 month out of it. Lol. But at least you wouldn’t feel as cheated as it breaking in 1…. Roku needs to step up and make this happen! Make these vendors stop trashing its name.
