I ABSOLUTELY agree. We have to unplug our Roku and just plug it in when we want to watch. Then if we have watched quite a bit, we have to unplug it part way through a show.
We do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
Please reply here with the serial number of the affected Roku device. It can be found by navigating to Settings > System > About or at the back of the player itself.
Once we have the information needed, we'll be able to forward it to our support team for further assistance.
All the best,
Kariza
mine is YH0019457093
thanks
Thanks for the response.
I have passed along your information and concern to our Support team. They will follow up and further assist you through email.
All the best,
Kariza
I have not sent the information. That was another poster. However, if all you are doing is sending out a 3" adapter to get it further from the TV, then it doesn't work.
I have been disappointed in this product since I purchased two of them a year ago.

I 2nd that I DO NOT Need another adapter that is NOT the issue

to air it out.
Getting a shorter HDMI cable does not work. You have to unplug the Roku and plug it in when you want to use it. This is the same thinking that Roku has. They are not fixing the problem!!!
ROKU PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!
THIS IS THE EMAIL REPLY FROM SUPPORT..FIX THE FAULTY DESIGN IN YOUR PRODUCT..A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO UNPLUG THEIR DEVICE IN ORDER TO USE IT AND FOR IT TO COOL DOWN NUMEROUS TIMES PER DAY.

THIS IS A JOKE!!! My Roku is directly behind the TV and not in a cabinet. They just do not want to admit that their product has an issue. They could contact the ones that are having problems directly and offer a solution but that would cost them money.
We do not plug in our Roku until we are ready to use it. Might use it at other times but if we have to get up, we just go with the OTA channels.
