-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reportedIt took until July for me to get this “New” Roku Home Screen and it is awful. And reading the comments since @Roku rolled it out seems it has been awful for a month now. A two year could have done better. Reverse this ****.
-
Moe's Place (@MeetYouAtMoes) reported@theblaze Please tell me why your app on @Roku has CONSTANT buffering problems. It's the only streaming service I have that does this. Every show, every day, I have to back out of the live show and come back in every 10 to 15 minutes because of buffering. It's making all the shows I dearly love completely unwatchable. Please respond, or I'm going to have to cancel, because there is just no point paying for this.
-
All Late Models (@AllLateModels) reportedI’m getting an error code for @FloRacing on the @Roku app. Anybody else having problems??
-
Vakom Sunrunner (@VakomSunrunner) reported@Roku @RokuSupport Couldn't figure out where to report this but the episode order for The Transformers (1984) series is massively out of order. Not only are episodes not in the official chronological order, you've got season 2 episodes in season 1 and such. Please fix this.
-
YourHead Drone (@DronePremier) reported@daisy_musician @paramountplus @Roku Paramount is the only one we had issues with. Appears it was a Walmart plus issue for us.
-
CKAKRK (@CaitlinKazarian) reported@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!
-
Samantha (@Samanthawood2k) reported@roku please fix screen settings! The F1 app is zoomed in. I’m missing so much information. Tried many different fixes. #roku #screensize #issues
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported@BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.
-
Rikki Ratliff (@rikkiratliff) reported@MeetYouAtMoes @theblaze @Roku I don't work at Blaze but Glenn has had Internet connection issues from FL to Dallas today.
-
tac0ghost 👻🇺🇲👻 (@tacooghost) reported@Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.
-
Born Free Pronoun-free 🇺🇸 (@SLnat) reported@Roku you’ve got to do something about your remote control design. It’s terrible! The buttons don’t depress well, they roll and often require pressing multiple times to make a selection. Take a page off Xumo, Apple TV or FireTV. Redesign your remote!!
-
Robby Thomas (@RobbyThomas2525) reportediphone computer even my roku streambar just the streaming sticks is having this problem and the version i'm on for both my rokus are 15.1.4 @Roku @RokuSupport
-
imaidiot19 (@imaidiotWill) reportedSince the latest @Roku update is trash and ruined the simplicity I loved with the device, which alternative should I go with? Thinking Firestick, although it will have similar issues, at least it is the most widely supported. Thoughts?
-
Reductio ad absurdum, PhD. 🐑🥫😘 my 🫏. (@tweetbuster01) reported@Roku @calvinbrain97 I have a issue with it. On several Roku’s and EXCLUSIVELY ON SPECTRUM app, the closed caption feature just stops working even though it says it ON. And it’s in ALL programs and channels on the app. WTF. I have to exit app, load something else then come back to Spectrum to fix
-
Michael Brand (@michaelbrandorg) reported@hbomaxhelp On @roku, can't get MTL-CAR hockey game. Erroneous message, "Event has ended". Have a fix?
-
Brian Richards 🕔 (@CptCracker) reported@thatoneguychaz @FOXSoccer @Roku Fox One is a hot mess. They seem to have blown it on capacity planning. A Grok survey of complaints confirms the issues are multi platform. Roku has a 100 million user base so they are going to get mentioned more than others, but it's cross platform. If there's something roku can do to help fix thst would be great though. The games on Fox over the air have worked just fine. This is when having a $40 Walmart antenna or even better a Tablo antenna tuner/dvr is helpful. The problem is they seem to have 37 games scheduled for streaming only.

alex (@alexsears97) reported@Roku This new Home Screen is terrible
-
🎣 (@SpangleAngler) reported@Roku To @YouTube - can you tell us how to fix this glitch please
-
Sydney 👑 (@LoveMyFFAJacket) reported@Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.
-
Zero Jehuty (@Zero_Jehuty) reported@Roku Who do I need to contact about an issue with a commercial on your service? My mother saw an ad for a assistance card, and since she did that, she has been getting non stop spam calls meaning a commercial on YOUR service sold her phone number.
-
Brian Kemm (@BrianKemm) reported@mrhappybw @Roku Boooo. Thanks for the intel. And, well, sigh. If I wanted to go through all the hassle (with no guaranteed fix), I’d just as soon start using a different brand if I have to log into everything again 🤡 These tech companies really are entirely out of their minds
-
Inigo Montoya (@Dukefan11) reported@Roku I'm a minimalist. On the home screen, your recent update added several items such as "the best across your streaming services" row, "jump to" row & an add apps button. The screen now feels very cluttered. Please help me hide these. ChatGPT says it cant be done.
-
unQuestionable.com 🍌 (@FoshayTower) reported@Roku Would you please add support for Siri Shortcuts / automations? I would love for my tv to have a trigger phrase to go to a specific app after turning on at a specific time of day, and could make that work with Shortcuts
-
shareurmic (@shareurmic) reported@SomaKazima2 I’m ready to get rid of it anyway since the sound goes out a thousand times during a half hour show; and none of the ‘fixes’ work @Roku
-
Rob Ables (@rables73) reported@MLB can you please fix your streaming app for @Roku and Apple TV so they don’t suck? EVERY SINGLE game I watch on ANY of my streaming devices stops at least 3-4 times per game with spinning circle of death. No other apps have buffering problems on my 1GB line and mesh WiFi.
-
Travis Lausch (@lauscho1) reported@RaceCanada_ca @TSN_Sports @Roku (realistically, I'm guessing there was some kind of error and one that was actually expertly quickly fixed... but still, that damn near made my heart stop)
-
Geoff Meador (@geoffmeador) reportedOur @Ask_Spectrum outage has lasted all morning and USA vs AUS is coming up, so I just switched our @Roku TV to OTA antenna… except, in the most idiotic decision imaginable, watching antenna TV on Roku apparently requires a working internet connection now. 1/2
-
Isabella Valentine (@PrismaticOwl) reportedI generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.
-
Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported@RepTheDMV @livenowfox Good eye. I am also terribly upset by the piss-poor quality of the breaks on the ROKU Channel. Chopped all to Hell! Does @Roku let AI run it's board? High-School rookies could do a better job!
