Ah, so the workaround to the @hbomax on Roku is to sign in online, click the 'Access all of HBO Max', then go to the Roku app and it starts playing.

@PBSKIDS we're having a recurring issue. Audio loading with o demand videos, but not the video itself. Using TCL Roku tv. It's only one year old. Nothing is working with troubleshooting. Any advice?

@tj_morrison714 @NBATV You can get a streaming-only deal with xfinity that includes ATTSN. No box, just gotta have a Roku or similar that can use the xfinity stream app. Doesn’t work on Apple TV unfortunately. No contract like cable cause there’s no hardware. So you can add it and remove at will

@onesoccerhelp @WhaleyStatic He's correct. Using Roku, if you go to OneSoccer the main channel is (STILL) playing Lille vs Angers - rather than One Soccer Today. Or the Nations League match. But I can see the scheduled programming using my phone. But I don't want to watch on my phone. When will you fix?

@nbc all of your Roku apps crash when opening. I’ve been trying to use @BravoTV for live tv for weeks and it doesn’t work. Any plans to fix these?

Interesting (and apparently common according to google) glitch on Roku TV - it won’t let you play any “age restricted content” on the YouTube app, so my nearly 70 mom can’t watch Jimmy Stewart movies I put on her YouTube account. Weird neither google nor roku want to fix this?

@CordCuttersNews Is there any processor difference between the Roku Express and the new Roku Express 4K+ that just came out? Just bought the cheap Express at Walmart and it has lag issues on HBO Max and Netflix. I'd upgrade if there is any processor difference.

@hulu_support Hey, I already tweeted you guys last week, and they said it might be a larger issue with Roku. It just doesn’t load. And it crashed on our smart TV last night too. Too many issues!

@RokuSupport Every time we start an episode of any show on Hulu on our Roku, it has no sound until we rewind it. How can we fix this? Started with the last update.

There's a home reno show on the Roku Channel where they fix up a murder home for the owners. Like, people live in a home where people were previously killed. It's like true crime meets Trading Spaces. It's so weird.

@HBOMaxHelp trying to watch The West Wing on your app on my roku and been having issues for about an hour and a half. App kept restarting. Watched one episode, now can’t get more than 10 seconds into another episode without the app shutting down completely

@UncleDall @onesoccer What app are you using? They seem to be running 2 hours behind on Roku. Android and Windows are working. Not sure why they don't fix it.

@tysonbrody I had the same thing happen and only solved it by staying signed into my gmail/google account on the Roku YouTube app. Maybe that'll help?

Curiously, has anyone else had a problem with the #HBOMax app on Roku not playing any content? I have reset the connection, uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled, and it won't play anything.

@SWForce4EU I have the flex whatever but it doesn't work. I put the app onto my roku in order to use it.
