    @SD3pete @SportsPhreak71 Do you experience loading problems with Netflix on your Roku TV? Or pauses and loads in the middle of a show?

    @kadena_io @wafflepirate Has there been any consideration in starting maybe like a Roku channel or maybe an app called crypto news something that you can get right in front of the average TV viewer to help wash away some of the fear that the rest of the programming creates

    @Roku @AppleTVPlus I just started enjoying Roku because of the Wierd Al movie. It was great. Scanning through the selections I see many things I'll come back to and view. Why is 1981 Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin - Death Hunt movie not the movie that comes up when it is selected? Fix this please!

    @axelkmetz Hi Axel, you rave about Roku but problem is customer service. The CBS app (not sports or news) has not worked in the last 6 months. All responses are remove app reboot and install.NOT WORKING! It works perfect with Amazon stick..got any juice to get it fixed?

    is the hbo max app on roku ever gonna stop making the app crash three times before letting me watch something? @hbomax @Roku

    Why do all of my @philoTV channels work on my @Roku except for the @hallmarkchannel Seems fishy that all three Hallmark channels stop and I get kicked out to the Roku homescreen but all other Philo channels play.

    The @CanesOnBally app on Roku is really, REALLY, bad. Why TF if I’m watching pre-game do I have to stop it, and switch to the game? And the same for postgame. And those can’t even be queued to start automatically. Terrible interface. Do better, Bally.

    @NBA please fix your @Roku channel app for League Pass. It has worked perfectly for years and the update this season has been MISERABLE! It often takes 10+ attempts to get a game to load. Many times games will just drop with no warning. Unacceptable!

    Yo @paramountplus if you're still here. Every time I try to watch #Pickled on my Roku TV the channel crashes. I can watch other things, only having issues with that program.

    @roku @BleacherReport tried buying #AEWFullGear and it says “no receipts found for account” but it’s showing on my bank account as pending charge. Should I try and purchase again? Don’t wanna pay twice. Help!

    @RokuSupport -when is the Youtube app on your devices going to work again? I have 3tv’s that cannot access youtube now! Where is info posted? YouTube works on switch, mobile iOS devices, and Samsung Smart TV. Just not on Roku? Thx!

    @ballysportshelp It looks it was a Roku app issue. Went out of the app and back in and we’re good. Thanks for asking though!

    @slinganswers Are you all having issues with SlingAir and Roku devices? I can't stream my local channels on the Sling Roku app, I get the spinner but I can on my laptop and desktop using the sling website.

    @TeamYouTube Hey, I have! I just wanted to make sure someone was able to see the issue! Seems this one has gone unfixed for a long time, not sure if anyone’s sent feedback to y’all before instead of Roku support

    @MiketyMike Ah I got it through Roku. I went out and back in it and seemed to adjust my audio issue. Hopefully it sorts itself out!

    Anyone else getting weird sound issues on the NBA app on Roku? I don't get it on other apps...

    It is absolutely impossible to stream @cbs on an @roku. Login to cbs and always get a playback error and can’t stream the Ga vs Ky. Login into cbs sports, have cable and paramount login and it says it can’t stream this game. Login to paramount and says can’t be found. Maddening

    @BlissWallpaper Walmart in the mall I work at is the exact same thing. They had a skid full of Black Friday RCA 32 inch Roku smart TVs for $98 one year & I witnessed them keep moving another pallet full of them with their equipment frequently. Yours sounded much nicer though!
