ROKU ROKU Customer Practice North Las Vegas Nevada

1) I am a ROKU lover...I have 2 ROKU 4's, 1 ROKU 3 and 1 ROKU 2.

2) Never had any issue with them until the 2 ROKU 4 units seemed to have failed.

3) As a recap (as per the 3 request tickets #1378967, 1392691 and 1402172), the issue started as follows:

a) ROKU 4 in living room was frozen on menu screen.

b) Tried to restart with screen...frozen.

c) Pulled out the "plug" from the ROKU 4 and it started up with the ROKU screen looping.

d) Tried to reset by holding the "button" at the bottom for 30 seconds or more...still looping.

e) Went to the bedroom where the other ROKU 4 is and verified that it is working OK.

f) Decided to SWAP the bedroom unit with the living room unit and the bedroom unit is now looping.

g) Swapped the bedroom unit and the living room unit back and the bedroom unit is now looping.

h) Called ROKU Customer Support and went through all the ROKU testing...same result.

i) ROKU customer support recommended buying a new power unit...I did...same result.

j) RoKU customer support concluded that both units are defected and the only solution is to buy 2 more units since my warranty is over.

4) Is there anything that the ROKU company can do for me ==> I asked ROKU customer support.

This is my warning to all ROKU owners:

1)  Despite the fact that I am a satisfied, happy ROKU owner and a ROKU lover with 4 ROKU devices, I would have thought that ROKU  would have given me a discount on a purchase of a new ROKU unit...at least.

2)  I would have thought ROKU would have wanted their original power unit back and the old ROKU's (ROKU 4's) back for analysis.

3) My assumptions are:

    a)  ROKU did some update that made the 2 ROK4's useless???

    b)  The power unit somehow "fried" the ROKU 4 and then when I swapped it out

          for my other ROKU 4 that was working..it "fried" this too. 

What can I say? I guess this is their business practice??? SAD
