  @Roku Fix your new homescreen. Its takes almost a dozen button presses compared to 2-3. This update is ****. Fix it or give us the option before I replace this thing.

  @Roku your latest software update / redesign is quite bad. Is the intention to slow our devices down so we'll have to buy new ones? Please revert to the way it was or modify so our devices will not be so slow and almost unusable. New does not equal better.

  Hey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.

  @Roku the new update on the Roku tv is the worst **** I’ve ever seen and I hate you

• 
  Starko (@Starko2341) reported 8 minutes ago

  @ojkoj @Roku *Exact* same problem with all my HDMI inputs, I have three consoles and it started after the recent update. I thought my TV was going bad. Someone suggested going to the input from the Nav menu rather than the button on the home screen. I will try that tonight.

  The issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?

  @Roku FoxOne on the Roku Channel does not work; Fox apparently cannot stream the games to Roku. It isn't Roku's fault, but why am I paying $20 a month?

  @red_chem_lite @Roku Try the bitter apple spray, it really deters some dogs from chewing specific items. A little of it rubbed on the remote might work. Also have you tried the ultrasonic sound deterrent? That stopped our dogs from bad behaviors. If you see them going near the remote press it. After a few times they should associate the remote with that unpleasant sound (that only they can hear!) Good luck

  @Roku If you are experiencing some issues using TABLO, try hiding “Quick Access” and “Recommended Rows”. Both mess with the cache and sticking with the basic display seems to work much better. Trying to mess around with AI sometimes causes more problems than anything else!

  CKAKRK (@CaitlinKazarian) reported 17 minutes ago

  @Roku your support sucks. It says it’s an agent but it’s just AI. Sent multiple screenshots and the “agent” didn’t even bother to open. Sick of paying for subscriptions that I can’t use on my tv. No one is of any help. Done with Roku and being charged for things I can’t access!

  @Roku having subtitles issues continuing into 2026 on streaming services is enough of a reason to move to another platform. The UI is great but come on, it’s been years now.

  @tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!

  @TucsonBlonde @Roku Amen. If you can't find soccer without Roku's help, you need to be placed in assisted care.

  @Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

  So what absolute ******* retard at @Roku decided that when adding a remote THE ******* BACK, HOME, AND ******* APP BUTTONS DON'T BRING YOU BACK TO THE HOME SCREEN OH AND BEST PART IT DOESNT SAY THIS SO I SAT HERE HITTING EVERY ******* BUTTON BUT THE LEFT BUTTON TO GET IT TO WORK

  @Roku This new Home Screen is terrible

• 
  Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported 29 minutes ago

  @Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for. It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.

  @Roku You've removed the option to cancel a paid app subscription on the new homepage I need help

• 
  Wicked King (@StangXx) reported 37 minutes ago

  @Roku I know my internet is down right now, but why doesn't my "live tv" app work during this? I can watch the thumbnail and TV is working, but I'm stuck on that channel cuz the app itself won't load and allow me to change the channel. This is absurd

  Sparky McGraw (@McgrawSparky) reported 39 minutes ago

  @Roku Yea i do that all the time…. It’ll work for 1-5/10 turn ons then back to having to manual connect, or restart

  HomoConBear (@HomoConBear) reported 40 minutes ago

  I see that @Roku did some post-audio work and looped over the F-Bomb in their promo.

  @Roku hello. I need help repairing a remote with my Roku. I have followed instructions online, but it’s not working.

  @Roku @mohzam1997 Roll it back. Its awful.

  @robinivski @ContrailsAI @Roku Yep. They are one of the worst ASC 606 sinners.

  @Roku I hate it and will replace and purchase a non Rolu. New screen is awful!

  @amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku

  @BlueMoon_Mining @Roku Right! Besides whatever nonsense it's talking about titles this is the other reason im so angry 20 billion dollar company 450 ******* PEOPLE THEY EMPLOY THAT AT LEAST 1 OF THEM COULD ******* FIX THESE BUGS

  @ThePriorityPod @Roku I can view my ROKU camera live but the events give errors and won't show In other apps, after a few hours it goes back to the home screen. They really screwed up all the devices apparently

• 
  pompanoj (@pompanoj) reported 53 minutes ago

  @MoriahJovan @Roku I feel your pain. I will supress the male urge to try to fix it and simply say "TVs are so cheap they are disposable". Walmart has a 75" TV for under $400. OTOH, I used a firestick to resurrect a TV with lame internal smart tv features. The picture is much better too.

  @Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.
