Has anyone had any problems from their Roku device? Last July I bought
one to stream Netflix. For about 8 months it worked flawlessly then the
wireless stopped working. Last week I received the replacement but I
can't really watch anything on it. We tried to stream a video from
Amazon and Netflix but it felt as if the device had problems playing
back the video. One time the device restarted itself. Today I tried
Netflix streaming on my Wii and my BD player and both of those work
fine.
I'm thinking these Roku devices may have a serious issue that is rearing
its ugly head after several months of usage. Just before the wireless
on mine died I had horrible problems streaming Pandora. At first I
thought that maybe my wireless signal was weak in the part of the house
but an HP laptop next to the Roku had no problem streaming Netflix.
