Josh Littlefield (@JoshLittlefield) reportedAnyone know why @peacockTV is so dark and low quality on @Roku when watching @premierleague? Looks good on my phone and computer but almost unwatchable on tv via Roku. No it’s not my internet speed: 429 Mbps down & 23 Mpbs up. #PeacockTV #NBC #Roku

-
Steve Jackson (@stvjackson) reported@PeacockTVCare Unless I'm missing something, the regular controls do not work on Roku during live sports. There is no pause, no rewind, no ability to start from the beginning of the match. They're present on replays/recorded content, but not live.
-
👑KweeenB🐝 (@KweeenieB) reported@mikethompson83 @realscientistic That’s the crappy thing abt streaming. The delays are terrible. I did the NFL app trial last wk to watch Sam play, and my phone app was 30 seconds faster than streaming thru my roku.
-
Hank Fisher (@OhHenry1313) reported@Roku @TheRokuChannel HELP!! I lost all my channels?? Is there anyway to restore my channels and settings? I turned on Roku and EVERYTHING was gone??
-
Luke Falkenstern (@LukeFalkenstern) reported@SunshineEmpire @AdamSchefter Wins aren’t a QB stat. That Jags team was god awful. Meanwhile in 8 games Minshew had 66% comp, 16 TD, 5 INT. If you drafted someone in the sixth roku draft and they put up those stats you’d be ecstatic
-
Blake Griffin (@UNEXPhotography) reportedWe’re about to get crazy. So I just proof of concept-ed that I can airplay to a 4K roku stick and extend the display. It will limit one of my displays to 1080p, but that should work for what I need in the short term.
-
Joshua Johnson (@JJsworld3450) reported@HBOMaxHelp This never works but once maybe twice a week if we're lucky. Kicks back to the Roku home screen every time. Can you please fix this issue or I'm stopping my subscription!!!!

Nick (@sketchesbynick) reportedHi @FiteTV I signed up for AEW+ on my Roku last week and have just gone to watch Dynamite now and logged in on my account and it isn't allowing me to watch even though I checked my Roku account and it says I am subscribed to it. Can you help please?
-
Ryan Munoz (@foodtruckchas3r) reported@smartaleck88 I had HBO max issues as well. I spoke with HBO, my cable company and Roku. HBO had to reset my account and my cable company had to log me in on a new account. It thinks it definitely and HBOMAX issue.
-
Christy Aleckson (@smartaleck88) reportedI’m trying really hard to embrace life without Comcast. However I’ve spent no less than 3 hours over the last week on chats with support folks from Roku, Ziply, and HBO Max. Issues aren’t fixed.

-
lofftjm (@lofftjm) reported@Roku Just decommissioned a "Chromecast with Google TV" device that I received as a free promotion. Nothing but problems. Replaced it with a @Roku Streaming Stick+ and it works flawlessly just like the other 3 @Roku devices in my home. Keep up the great work.
-
iCrazy (@iCrazyK) reported@Roku your employees on community forum for #Roku are annoying and not solving issues. Remote back button returns to Roku home screen instead of app Home Screen in all apps. This has been happening for some up to 6 months and for me only a few weeks. #fixit or offer a #solution
-
Scott (@ScottOstr) reported@madebygoogle Google TV app needs Private Listening like @Roku app. I assume it's a patent issue.
-
♡ Marley ♡ (@Marl3ysHeart) reported@jacobswartz3 @jcolburnlevy nooo netflix cancels good shows and then makes terrible movies with the money. If anything, give the show to hbomax. Also Roku is making a deal to do a movie and if the 2 hour movie does well then we can potentially have a 3rd season.
-
Christy Aleckson (@smartaleck88) reported@rachel_bell44 I have the tv that can do that. I decided to try Roku for a couple months to see if I like using it. The challenge I’m having: cancel Comcast because they can serve my house, HBO Max gets cut off, buy subscription through Roku, it won’t work. No one can figure out why.
-
Mark Kurtz (@mathku46) reported@FrndlyTV Good Morning! I recently bought a Roku player that had a 30 day free trial. When I tried to use it, it said the code was invalid. Can you help me with this? Thanks!
-
your local spoonie (@outofforkstoo) reported@AngryBird_98 @beth_morton saje headache wand or island thyme peppermint/lavendar essential oil sticks! also core water, the electrolytes help. i also play my TV roku through my phone app (private listening) & it’s made watching TV much more bearable/less triggering.
-

Jeff Rice (@coachjeffrice) reported@CfieldsVFL Happened to be in Tampa last year, they didn’t have SEC TV, yeah go figure. Cheapest fix is to go by a cheap Roku or Firestick.
