    @DisneyPlus Your Roku TV App won't work. Anything I try to watch comes up as a black screen. I can see things when fast forwarding/rewinding, but playing is a black screen. I did not just renew for the month to not watch your programming you know.

    @gcanderson57 @PlutoTV @Roku I'm using a Hisense Roku TV and mine does the same thing you've mentioned. I pretty much did everything reopened the app, restarted the TV and neither of those things worked. Like I said it could be the app that's causing the problem.

    Let’s see if @Hulu will actually work today. I dunno if it’s on their end or @Roku but all week I’ve had problems.

    Never mind a 3 hour #SmackDown whatever is going on with @verizon or my @Roku TV. I can't get rid of this damn playback error. I even did a whole damn factory reset to my TV and still getting error code PLYB_122 for over a month. My TV is BARELY 5 years old.

    @PrachiR46315213 Mein kisi ko Kiu Roku I haven’t seen any post like that, and as I said, idc about Hania, diljit or the film. I found your statement to be dumb so that’s why I quoted your post, you should’ve been clearer about what you meant if you have a problem with me questioning it

    @slinganswers Are you guys having issues with your Roku app? Two of my Roku devices updated the Sling app and now sling will not start. Just stuck on the red loading wheel.

    . @Roku Why did you mess up the main menu? Now I've got a bunch of stuff, I don't want, that I have to scroll through to get to my apps, and I can't remove or move them. Also the app icons are smaller? Seriously? Fix this, please, and stop messing with our menus. #Roku

    Don’t ever buy @Roku theyre making junk that’s overpriced significantly. Every tv I have their POS products to use for @GetSpectrum has problems. By problems I mean everything they have including the most basic functions frequently do not work.

    @PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home. My ROKU is running software version 15.1.4 Build 3321. Yes I've restarted the unit and no it doesn't help. Your app is version 5.45 Build 3 I've cleared the ROKU cache, removed & reinstalled your app.

    @roku @Walmart Do any of you care that the updated pushed out to the tvs have effectively bricked them? Having to turn a TV off and back on to change a channel is ridiculous. Fix your software!

    Hey @slinganswers any ongoing issues that might explain why I can't stream to my Roku, both iPhone and laptop work just fine? Rebooted everything, signed out of all devices, no joy!

    @Roku Hey folks, Roku will not help you if you are being scammed by a third party. Roku will take your money but will not interfere with a fraudulent scam.

    @hulu_support Hulu live is down AGAIN on all platforms - Roku, app, etc. I've tried all of your steps and nothing works . . . the problem is on your end not the customer!

    @james37144 @Roku It's working for a lot of people but as Glenn said on radio and on the Commuity page it still needs polishing but we tried to get it up in time to work out the kinks before the special.

    @Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,

  • ashubert
    A Shubert (@ashubert) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum is there any plan to fix the "last channel" function on app for @Roku using the RW button. Functioned for years & it just stopped. Every Roku I have no longer has this function. It's really annoying to not be able toggle back/forward. V15.2 B:0
