    @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 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

    @Roku This is awful. Please let me revert back to the old home screen. I've praised my Roku tv and from here on out no more praise will be had.

    Devin Goble (@devinbgoble) reported

    Gee, thanks @Roku. Randomly today we get hit with hdcp errors on a setup that has worked fine for years, and the solution is just to move to a different hdmi port on the TV. You are the reason why people pirate.

    @Roku To @YouTube - can you tell us how to fix this glitch please

    @Roku I did a system restart this evening and it seems to have fixed the problem! 🫶🏻

    @YouTube please fix the Jump Forward feature on your @Roku app. I don’t care whose end of the tech it’s on. I pay for three YT Premium, so that my kiddos don’t infect my feed or complain about what each other watch. I’ve told them “ give it a few days to patch it”. It’s been hell

  • RealHeatherOB

    I have no idea what anyone else thinks, but @Roku's new Home Screen adds are awful!! There is NO way to remove the adds. All they do is clutter up the screen. I've used Roku for over a decade. Bought several, including for others - just loved them. Now? They're so annoying, I may need to find an alternative. It's just not for me. And they don't even let me "hide" them. Not cool. I neither need nor want all this junk.

    @Roku Wow, those changes to the app are terrible! Thanks! 👍

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

  • SpangleAngler
    🎣 (@SpangleAngler) reported

    @Roku If the playback speed on Roku TV for U-Tube videos suddenly stopped working and that feature is no longer even available (it once was), is that fixable through Roku support or is that @YouTube who would fix it? Our family's TV used to have playback speed options but now doesn't

    @Roku I have done all but still the same problem

  • rables73
    Rob Ables (@rables73) reported

    @Roku Hi @Roku thanks but as I stated in the original post, it does it on all 4 of my Roku devices, so it is not a restart issue. Also, it is only the @MLB app. None of my other apps have this issue or other buffering. The MLB app does it multiple times per game and gets stuck.

  • WhatsMyLime
    TimeToWatch (@WhatsMyLime) reported

    @Roku I need help creating an account can we message? I’m getting the TV today and it says I need an account can be free but when I hit continue nothing will work and yes, I know how to do that

    wtf @Roku? What is the deal with our TV. Just left my dad’s house 2 hrs away & his Hisense/Roku TV had logged him out and removed all of his app’s & settings. Just got home to my house and guess what….. all my apps are out of order & all of them require a new login/pw…. Ffffff

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

    @Roku Give us Photo Streams back! Backdrop is terrible. Doesnt autostart when idle.

  • imken24

    @Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.

  • sandiek
    sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reported

    the new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.

  • mrhappybw
    Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported

    So @Roku just not going to address the issue they cause on the TCL and I assuming other TV’s with that horrible update or fix it? I am tired of having to reset things to get i to recognize the HDMI ports or them not be corrupted every day since.

  • CaptFriggan
    Friggan (@CaptFriggan) reported

    @Roku How do I put my HDMI inputs back on the main screen after this terrible update?

  • LoveMyFFAJacket
    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.

  • WhtTheActualFuk
    Wallybonkers™️ (@WhtTheActualFuk) reported

    Just a consumer FYI!!! @Roku WILL NOT HONOR A WARRANTY. My Roku ultra will not keep connectivity. Done ALL troubleshooting. Called my internet provider. JUMPED THROUGH A MILLION HOOPS, still boots off. After all this I get told sorry, your warranty don’t cover connection issues🤔

  • Nerd4915
    Stacey (@Nerd4915) reported

    @Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.

  • burownidl01
    burownidl (@burownidl01) reported

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now

  • MattSmithFOX13
    Matthew Smith (@MattSmithFOX13) reported

    @KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.
