-
Michael Brand (@michaelbrandorg) reported@hbomaxhelp On @roku, can't get MTL-CAR hockey game. Erroneous message, "Event has ended". Have a fix?
-
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
-
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
-
Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported@Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?
-
Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported@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
-
Lucas Soares (@lucasgsoares11) reported@F1Help @Roku @tvglobo This broadcast is becoming unbearable. The audio is out of sync, now there’s a random zoom that fixes nothing. Ever since it moved to Globo, it’s been nothing but headaches. The broadcast quality is terrible, and honestly I’m seriously considering stopping
-
Sarah Young (@Sarah_young5314) reported@Roku, I’m not happy. We have a ONN Roku TV. We have an antenna. Until today, I could watch local channels. Now I can’t. I followed all the steps to fix this. Every one. Then I hoped onto chat and had to talk to two different reps, neither of which fixed the issue. One said (1)

cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reported@Roku PLEASE HELP
-
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.
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
-
Brandon (@BATZMANZ) reported@Roku Give us Photo Streams back! Backdrop is terrible. Doesnt autostart when idle.
-
MrRamone420 (@MrRamone420) reported@Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers
-
Arika ⸆⸉ ♡ (@arikajeannoel) reported@Roku This is TERRIBLE! How do I revert back to the old home screen. Literally no one asked for this
-
Pencil Army (@pencil_army) reportedHey, @Roku, how many times do I have to hide "Soccer Zone" from my Home Screen before it actually stays hidden? Or is this some new feature where I will have to continue to keep doing every day? Would be nice if you could get the Hide function to work.
-
Todd (@twchristensen) reportedDear @Roku @rokuone I have been nothing but a fan and advocate, until now. Your last update is atrocious. I don’t know who your UX/UI team are or what they were thinking, but they got this all wrong. I could not be more unhappy. You turned one click into 3 or 4. How could that have ever been your goal? Who approved this? It’s just absurd. I will be looking for alternatives because that’s how bad you’ve broken this. And don’t think I didn’t notice that you continue to jam Howdy down my throat. I have deleted it every time, why would you continue to force us to have that channel when we say we don’t want it? It is clear to me that Roku no longer cares about what the customer wants - the death spiral of just about every company that has ever existed. You ruined a good thing. It is going to have unforeseen consequences, starting with me. Unless, of course, your goal was to shed users. All five of my TV’s will be turned over to another streamer by end of next week as I do some research. What a shame.

Rose Vera, J.D. (@rosevera) reported@Roku Im interrupting your post to bring something to your attention. I have been a loyal customer for years. Recently, your billing department has billed my credit card several times a month. I've called to complain but get nothing but a bad attitude. Perhaps you can help me.
-
mmmhmmm (@bleezy_db) reported@Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.
-
Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported@roku so you sell me on your wireless surround sound then discontinue the products that work with it so that when one dies I can't even use a measly discount code on your website to replace the device! Garbage!
-
Niitefalls (@Niitefalls) reported@Roku AI bot trying to fix problems. lol
-
Faithful Gaming (@ColshopS) reportedHey @Roku update your TVs. My Roku TCL TV has been consistently having issues displaying anything connected to an HDMI port!
-
🐸💚💚💚 (@desunyan2) reported@Roku I need the apps I use right at the top. I need to rearrange the quick access area and I cannot. Tell me how to rearrange them. I have to scroll all the way past a bunch of stupid junk to see my apps on the order I want them in. Tell me how to fix this immediately
-
Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported@Roku Nevermind. Not only do you refuse to help, but you completely reformat the home screen to “suggest” 20 different apps or shows and only show 1/3 of my installed apps so I have to search for them. You’re useless. **** off. Buying Firesticks Saturday.
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.
-
Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported@Roku @mohzam1997 Roll it back. Its awful.
-
Lisa (@_lovablecurves) reported@Roku wtf your backend is bent and broken it’s making use a 2FA but after trying and begging it for a ******* code to my email twenty times it hasn’t sent me a single ******* one you are the reason people are miserable and insane this **** is so ******. I hate companies like yours that make life hard for no ******* reason. I gave you a correct password and login let me get in my account wtf you ******* ********. You’re wasting my precious time on your failing tech and you fail you’re incompetent and you suck ***.
-
Jake Tomberlin (@jaketomberlin) reported@Roku I’m a long-time Roku fan, but this latest home experience is terrible. It’s so bad I’m considering Apple TV. Please roll it back to the last version or give users the option to do so.
-
Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported@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!
-
Marvin Barry (@GravelyKen48135) reportedThe Netflix button is way too close to the play/pause button on the Roku remote. Pls fix @Roku @netflix
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@thegreat_hair @Roku How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!
-
Brendanfly1998 (@Bren9889) reported@RokuSupport I need your help and please don’t give me an automated reply. The apps on my new @Roku TV keep crashing, mainly YouTube, Disney+ and Paramount+! What is causing this and what can I do to fox it?
