Flawed design - best for intermittent use only

We also experienced the overheating issue that many users are complaining about. When it overheats, it shuts down and the only way we could get it to work again was to unplug it and plug it back in. As a partial solution, we changed the settings to shut off after 30 minutes of no activity (in the settings menu). We also propped it up on a couple of DVD cases on each side to leave space underneath so that air could circulate and allow some of the heat to dissipate. If you're someone that watches TV for 10 hours straight, this is really not the unit for you. We watch it at most for a couple of hours at a time, so it doesn't have a chance to overheat. We have a Roku Premiere that does not have this problem. May be best to avoid the Roku 4.
