@findkylesxbox @Wario64 This is literally as expensive a streaming device as you could buy and your comparing it to the basic cable service lmao. A subscription to 3 streaming services and a Roku will be $100s less a year, have more personally interesting content, and work better than cable's UI

@LGUS There was info on line that I could use web browser to navigate to @ESPNPlus but that didn’t work. So I guess I need to buy a Roku

@BackpackerFI @for_retirement @BahamaBen9 Agreed, however I would assume most holders of PTON, TDOC, ROKU & SQ wish they had that tax problem to deal with rather than being down 60-70%. Point is if the stock market corrects 30%, individual names will be down 50-60% from here. A bear market is not kind to BTFD.

@NKiyoubinbou @WIRED I've owned 2 Roku sticks and they have both run hot enough to degrade the image quality. I've gotten skilled at modding Rokus with heat sinks but nobody should have to do this

My mother would threaten my very existence on this earth if I dared call her at her work unless it was an emergency. Now, she calls me at my office at 11:04 am on a Tuesday to ask if a Roku television "is a good one to get".

@HBOMaxHelp Hi, this isn't a "me" problem. It's a "you" problem. I noticed it on Roku, then reproduced it on the web and the HBO Max app. I'm done watching the movie, so you can either choose to fix it or not. Good luck!

@RekietaMedia The stream has gone down for me on the Roku YouTube channel several times today. I've had no internet issues here as my work computer has not lost connection to the work network. Just an FYI.

@JackPosobiec I use Rumble, but it has some serious issues. Especially on their Roku app. There is no "watch later" option for one.

love the #roku tv but dam, you have terrible placement of commercials on your streaming shows. Watch Miami Vice and have them right in a shootout, fight, conversation, anyone monitoring this? They do have breaks in them and your not placing them there...you can do better.

@barstoolWSD Yo, find out if you can stream cable through like a roku or similar device, then you don’t need the box or to pay the box fees each month. You just use your comcast login and get all your cable channels through the roku or apple tv or whatever else is supported

@JeremyAnthony I'd chalk it up to Roku, but I've had similar, if not the exact same, issues on the website. Weird

@Roku please fix the commercial placement when it comee to streaming episodes of Third Watch. Commercials shouldn’t be occurring in the middle of a scene
