1/2) Thinking I may cancel my internet service with @VMediaCSR as their phone lines only work until 9pm, and I've paid for 2 months of TV that I didn't use (well, to be fair, I BOUGHT a Roku stick so I could try it as I can't watch it on a computer...). So I've used it once.

Accidentally put the ROKU tv remote in the washer TWICE so either our washer SUCKS or that’s some quality craftsmanship. Update to follow.

@MaxWrestlingWA @FBALL_Andrea My Samsung TV mirrors just fine, but I've been using a TCL Roku lately and it's a pain to get it to work. May start doing this though.

@CNNgo I am logged in with my DIRECTV credentials on the Roku app, yet I get a message that says “you’re not authorized to view this content.” My direct TV credentials are working fine for streaming live TV on the iOS app. Please fix this!

@VidarWolf Well, have learned that Hulu, Amazon and a few other things on the Roku are out. Netflix has no issue with VPN's, but everyone else apparently does. For now just put all the streaming devices on the main 'regular' line until I figure something out. May have to go a static VPN IP

@plex having issues when using Plex on the Roku streaming stick+. The audio and visual files go out of sync several times while watching one episode. Roku say the issue lies with the Plex channel. Please advise if this is being looked into? Only happening since Dec.

@VMediaCSR 1/3- So I got a call, you seem to think I have internet issues. No, I have issues with VMedia in general. "Signup for the free trial you can watch it on your device". No I can't. I had to BUY a Roku stick to try it. I didn't like it and don't watch TV all that often.

@Roku terrible move to stop supporting spectrum tv. All of our TVs were roku. Looks like Apple TV will win 5 of my TVs now.

We have Peacock already, so this really just saves us 120 bucks a year now. I barely use the service anymore anyway because the Roku and Fire apps are glitchy ******* messes they refuse to fix.

@TeamYouTube Youtube won't work on roku. When I click the YouTube app the screen goes black and roku reboots. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the app, unplugged the roku. Something needs to happen on your end or roku's end. My life cannot go on until this issue is resolved 😭😞

The @youtube app on Roku is the worst. Crashes all the time, force logs you out. So frustrating to use :(

@davescherer @jamespredditt @MikePWInsider Trying to figure out how this will work. Will the current Roku/Smart TV app just stop working and you need the Peacock app, or will it just redirect? And does it convert you to the 4.99 Peacock plan or the 9.99 one?

That old reprobate #CarolBurnett had a VERY famous show named after her, in case the young people didn't know that. It has it's own #Roku streaming channel. Filthy, mocking of any proper standards of decency... so of course she is hailed as great & well-beloved! #MSM at work!

@hulu_support Starting yesterday, Hulu app on our TCL Roku TV opens then closes, won’t load. Able to login on iPhone app, Apple TV, etc. Deleted and added the channel again, still happening. Is this a known issue?

@mattr262 @DaveWeLike LOL. Dude, please. I know how to work my grandmas ROKU. The interface, the buttons, the way you have to point it directly at the TV, the jankiness of the bottoms, shitty business model, all vastly inferior compared to the fire TV and Apple TV

@AmazonFireTVInd only streaming service that is awful. I’m gonna replace my Firestick with a roku or something. Amazon Fire stick is always off...video/voice...and it always buffers on Amazon Prime.

@TeamYouTube @ohnonotagain13 +1 For the same issue on a Roku 3. It has been playing up since the Jan 22 update. Think it has broken something.

@hbomax Hi there. I am totally blind, and am having a lot of trouble using your iPhone app with the VoiceOver screen reader. Has the iPhone app been tested for accessibility? I am asking because your Roku app works perfectly with the Roku AudioGuide screen reader.
