    @Ask_Spectrum I noticed a bill for $115 MORE on my Spectrum. Turns out, without getting my permission, anyone can add TV services from their TV. Spectrum blamed @Roku - NOT Roku's fault! This is 100% Spectrum ALLOWING my credit card to be billed. Yo Spectrum, FIX IT!

    wtf @Roku? What is the deal with our TV. Just left my dad’s house 2 hrs away & his Hisense/Roku TV had logged him out and removed all of his app’s & settings. Just got home to my house and guess what….. all my apps are out of order & all of them require a new login/pw…. Ffffff

    @Roku I had the worst experience with Aileen in support chat. She was very rude and unhelpful. I love Roku but this is making me very unhappy. I have an overheating device and she said she had to confirm it was overheating before she could help. I mean im telling her. 😞

    @roku @Walmart Do any of you care that the updated pushed out to the tvs have effectively bricked them? Having to turn a TV off and back on to change a channel is ridiculous. Fix your software!

    @Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know

    @Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Keep getting connection issue error and telling me to check my connection, then it dumps me back to main Roku menu. Connection is fine. I have no problems with other apps, just with Roku Channel. I have checked for updates and rebooted. Still getting error.

    Hey @Roku. I had a device apparently fail. Bought a new streaming stick and there was nothing wrong with the device. Now I am thinking this is a "you" issue. Currently, I am unable to add the new device. In addition, I am able to log into my account via the Web but not the Android app.

    @enhanced_games @Roku @ResortsWorldLV Crazy that it took you until now to announce where you’ll be hosting the games. Terrible marketing.

    For years I had my elderly mother perfectly able to operate her @Roku TV. Now the software is so convoluted and dumb I can't even figure out how to fix it for her anymore. It just wants to stream everything with no antenna channels. It was fine and they broke it with software.
