Most (all?) of these boxes have some form of an operating system. I have found that my boxes occasionally get themselves in a non-responsive state and need to be rebooted. If it is requiring a reboot frequently (say weekly or monthly) then you may have a problem. Once every 6 month or a year is not unheard of. My Roku boxes need to be kicked about every 6 months.
