Roku 4 gets extremely hot, short battery life and unit has a tendency to stall on the regular causing you to either turn off unit or remove batteries .. upon further investigation on the internet, I discovered that remote freezing is common and instructions on how to fix this issue was posted

Roku support is terrible, our Roku 4 scrolls menus endlessly until the battery is removed and support blamed it on our WiFi LOL

If you use the headphones in the remote often, I would suggest buying rechargeable batteries because it drains the life out of them faster.

I don't even use the roku anymore and it still drains batteries; and guess what?

I have done soft reset, hard reset, different remote batteries, plugged into different plugs, and nothing works

No amount of pairing, battery changing or manipulations via the internet fixes on this ever made it work.

It acts as if the batteries are dead

Extremely disappointed in the crappy battery life

Remote will stop responding randomly (not a battery issue) and will require using the phone app to control the device- Using headphones in the remote will drain its battery within

The batteries get very hot after a short time, even if I put in new batteries the remote still doesn't work

The batteries drain in 1-2

It runs really hot!Even with fresh batteries the remote becomes unresponsive

The remote also drains batteries

Their response was that this is a wifi remote and therefore drains batteries very quickly and that this is normal.

But it has been extremely frustrating that in all this time, I can't get Roku to offer any help in terms of the remote, which has been sporadically killing batteries for the entire time I've had it

I used it so often, I had to keep a rotation of rechargeable batteries ready to swap when the screen started blinking a small icon telling me the batteries are just about dead

From freezing screens at 200 MBPs connection to quickly draining batteries of the remote, Roku has been giving me a lot of problems and with Chromecast evolving, NVidia Shield 2017 costing $199 and TV having apps built into

This item in particular is a fickle b___.

The headphone jack is greatly appreciated as I can watch TV late in the evening without disturbing anyone's sleep.

I would highly recommend this unit for first timers as well as those that want to upgrade..

After several hours with the screen saver on, the unit was just as hot as when it was showing a movie or sitting idle with no screen saver.

It worked as it's supposed to on the first unit, but not on the replacement

The one I have in the living room seams to freeze a

but alas, I still have a hot unit that does not work as it was advertised

The Roku 4 freeze up a

If you're okay with not having a remote for your device and purchasing a device that doesn't work as it was intended, then this is the streaming player for you!I have had multiple streaming devices over the years

t would recommend this Roku player to everyone.
