Playback Issues - Audio/Video & Power

Hi,

service announcement, do not buy roku boxes they do not work if you have a home theater system.

My Roku works fine with my AVR and TV. So your statement is not universal. Could be there's something different about your AVR that is not compatible with the Roku out of the box. Might need to look at changing settings. Does the AVR have HDCP 2.2?

I wouldn't say they "don't work", but for the price, the current generation definitely shouldn't have been released with the software as unstable as it is.  It seems every software update causes someone an issue, and none of them are fixing my Amazon audio sync issue (with zero feedback from Roku on whether they are even working on it).  I will be returning my Ultra this weekend and moving on.  $130 is far too high a price to be a beta tester.

Here is a link to a video review of my roku

its basically just a video of the roku loading up and then nothing.

I will also be returning this box for a refund.

I don't think that's an example of it "not working with an AVR receiver"...looks more like yours got borked with a bad update as others here have complained about.  I don't know if there's a non-software factory reset, but if not, your only choice is to return it.  Hopefully if a lot of us return our Roku and leave bad online reviews, they will get their act together.  I've never once had a contact from Roku, neither an email response to my open case or a staff response here.  I left a a bad online review and then got a response the next day.

it's also not a good enough "reason" to not buy a ROKU for the vast majority of people.

Darn it, 9 years using Roku's and I find out now that I should have never purchased them.

lesson learned, no need to buy any future boxes.
