Listen folks, I had an incident occur two nights ago. I am not going to go into everything that led up to it, but I found myself in a situation where I would go to load a movie or show, it would start to buffer, and then dump me back at the menu screen for that movie/episode. What I discovered was ...

Click Home 5 times, RW 3 and FF 2, in fairly rapid succession. That will take you to the bitrate screen where you can force the bitrate or enable the debugging screen. Thanks kc, I discovered that a while ago and performed that task. It doesn't help at any rate, as the download bar only gets to 1/3...

Can anyone explain to me about this secret reset thing? I've read so much I'm losing my memory of what it was and where I read it. Rokuitis.

I meant to say, can anyone advise me on "forcing" the Roku.

Since I live rural and there's no phone land line competition and no cable i.e. one phone monopoly, I'm stuck with my internet speed, unless I want to cough up loads for satellite, which pretty much flies in the face of why many of us like Roku in the first place e.g getting away from satellite or c...

jcmolet, I understand what you're saying here. But when I bought my Roku way back, the FAQ at Roku said, and still says, "In order to use the Roku digital video player, you need a high-speed Internet connection (minimum 1.2 Mbps), a home network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and a TV." Check. Got al...

Year of fun with Roku screeched to a halt several weeks ago. And yes, I had a marginal speed at 1.5, but never had a single problem for the last year, always at 3 dots and a perfectly acceptable picture. Then came the new features. Pandora, Twitter, that's when it all fell apart. Now I can only get ...

Thanks dupondt and all who gave me suggestions on this problem. I fixed this issue by bridging the router as you suggested dupondt. I must admit it was no easy task, as the rangemaster came with little to no instructions, and bridging wiped out my normal modem access i.e. 192/168/0/1, and in order t...

dupondt, thanks for all of the troubleshooting. I just ordered a Netgear RangeMax WPN824 from Tigerdirect for $60's. Small price to pay if I can get this SB fully functional. As to the Airport extreme, I read on another forum where it's not working with vista 64. Who knows. Anyway, thanks again for ...

dupondt, you make a good case unfortunately. Do you know if I can just swap out the router and leave the modem? Or do I need the whole deal? I know just enough about this stuff to get myself in trouble. Thanks for your advice.

I just realized an error in what I'm doing. When hard wiring the SB as I just mentioned, I've been unplugging my admin pc, the one running Itunes from the modem, in order to steal the ethernet cable from the modem. Therefore I've been disconnecting from the Itunes source. Since I only have one ether...

dupondt, I didn't mention that I've tried many times to run this SB wired ethernet, to no avail. After reconfiguring the SB to a wired environ, it still says no libraries found......It doesn't work wired or wireless. What does this tell us? I'm at a loss as to what the problem here is. I tried switc...

Hi jimbo. Yes, I've enabled sharing in Itunes and WMP, but neither one is seen by the SB for some reason. Can I ask a novice question? The SB is being "seen" by my actiontec M1000 modem. It's listed with it's correct address in the modem config section. Can the problem lie solely with the ...

Yes, the UPnP is enabled, the WMM is not. Ouch! I hate to see that thread you just posted. So it would appear I bought a $100 radio, instead of a library player? Bummer. I mean, it's a nice internet radio, but that's only half of it's alleged capabilities. Don't worry, I don't shoot messengers. Is t...

Hi dupondt, I have an Actiontec M1000 modem with an Actiontec W1000 router. I can't hook up both the pc and the SB at the same time wired, as I only have one ethernet connection on my pc and router. I have, however, connected the SB straight into the modem (wired) and nothing changes, the SB is stil...

Also, when I type in the SB's address and get to it's config page, it says the following:

Status & Control
