    The Fox News app freezes and won't load past 13%

    I can see that this has been an ongoing issue. If it continues I will be replacing all of my Rokus and will no longer recommend them to others. Please get it together.

    YouTube app freezes on Roku device

    Youtube app on my TCL 55-in TV freezes on startup. Also cannot stream YouTube from my pixel 8 Pro to the TV even though YouTube runs fine on the phone. This just started today and has been unresolved all day.

    Roku slow to respond when navigating channel

    I have a Roku3 and have been experiencing similar issues. Not only was the Roku itself laggy, but the lag affected apps differently. YouTube was by far the worst affected, lagging to the point of being unusable and often crashing to a gray screen that required rebooting the Roku before YouTube would ever work again. I solved the problem (fingers crossed, knock wood!) by connecting the Roku to my router via Ethernet instead of wifi. Apparently, using wifi heavily taxes the Roku's CPU.

    Red tint and loading on my Roku Express

    Uhhh, so recently, my Roku Express has decided to go ‘red tinted’ and it loads really weirdly. Like, it’s overlapping words and pictures as if it has 2fps. It’s really annoying. Thoughts?

    Screensaver Crashes the Roku Ultra 2024

    Same exact thing with the new 2024 4850X. I have the 4800X that I was upgrading from and that unit is just fine, no issues. The new model has the same exact issues. Screen saver crashes the system entirely, sometimes the whole thing becomes unresponsive randomly in an app and reboots and other times just hitting home from anywhere will cause it to freeze crash and reboot too. There’s a new processor in these models and my bet is there’s some memory handling issue or something they need to patch. Very annoying and not a good experience at all. This new one is terrible, I’d never look back at Roku if I was a new customer and I thought this was normal.

    New CNN Update is Freezing on the New Menu Screen on my Roku Player

    Hi all, I tried to access CNN via the Roku player as I usually do, and today there was an update about their "new and improved" menu. However, it's not improved; I can't access anything and just see a black screen with some menu text, but no pictures. Any help? Edit: It doesn't work on my Roku TV either!

    Multiple channels and screensaver crashes

    Nov 1, 2024 Device type: Roku Ultra Serial number: X028000E7524 This one is a replacement from a 3 week RU that crashed... this new one here crashes also! It's like there's some kind of odd memory leak. They crash at the stupidest times too... MOSTLY from just exiting the screensaver OTHERS like a hard back to HOME from like YouTube or Streaming service. It is extremely ANNOYING! Where is the quality control Roku? I have a latest 80" Sony Brava TV that supports EVERYTHING. External Inputs are all setup properly to Dolby Vision. I have HDMI 2.1 that support the best in Dolby Vision. This problem is NOT on my end. PLZ fix your Firmware! Thanks
