    @AppleTVPlus I signed up a week ago, through my Roku. The Last Thing He Told Me (except the first episode) and Shmigadoon refuse to play. I get a "We're having trouble, check your internet" message but I can watch Trying with no issue. What's the fix? #help

    @Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know

  • Zaack23
    What good are notebooks? (@Zaack23) reported

    @LMDhusky2023 @discoveryplus @FIAWEC Discovery+ isn't stable on the Roku either. It simply does not adjust bandwidth ever; I proved it on the PC with some technicals and Discovery's answer was "use tethering on your PC to force it into mobile mode." Which a) won't work and b) what ********?

    youtube forcing all brand accounts to be shown on roku is very annoying. i thought for sure they would fix that but it's been like 2 years. i should be able to choose which of my accounts are visible!

    Ant Murdering She Devil (@ShelleyElwood) reported

    @TVMoJoe Roku TV, and I've had the same issue on Fire TVs, I suspect maybe only Apple is overriding whatever wonky code is happening in Peacock (because it's not just me)

  • Witchmaster
    Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported

    @Roku @caseyrosewilson Latest update on Roku has brought on tons of issues. Can't remove finished listings from continue watching, completing episodes goes on to random programs, etc. And periodically it just resets itself. How about rolling back to stability?

    @Mickultra12 @comcast @Xfinity I don't seem to have a problem with connecting but I have to unplug the Roku every day - then reactivate it and then plug it back in - Very strange. 🤔

    @DanHogan95 I’ve had it for 2+ years and haven’t ever had an issue. I use it via my Roku TV.

    FYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA

    @MsSariBrooke @Roku I can’t work out how to watch it here in the UK 😩

  • periodicaudio
    Periodic Audio: Mobile First Hi-Fi 🏴‍☠️ (@periodicaudio) reported

    Not to mention, @roku, an app I PAID FOR was deleted and there's no way to reinstall without buying it again. Where do I send the bill to, so you can reimburse me? Seriously you have a great system, but your updates are horribly broken and ruin the system.

  • ScoutCee
    Carly カーリー 🌙 (@ScoutCee) reported

    @peacock seriously needs to fix their subtitle problem on @roku. The subtitles just drop off and stop. I tweeted about this years ago. Luckily I am not hard of hearing but for people are, they cant watch the movie/show!

  • jimgolis
    Jim Golis (@jimgolis) reported

    @hulu_support @Ann_Elyse Not having any issues with Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Peacock, Tubi, freevee, etc. Just checked with a friend who has YouTube TV. No issues there. Might be time to switch.

  • ManuteSwol
    Jason (@ManuteSwol) reported

    @Roku Are you guys having some kind of outage? One of my devices failed to update... I factory reset it and now cannot add Apps. Your web site says there is a known issue. How about an update?

    @rokudoesnothing @SpaceSama @gekiko_bathory Thank you Roku. I agree. dialing things back to drama doesnt solve things. doesnt matter from whom.i just got riled up and apologize. i hope others actually involved and knowing more who dials what can be of rightious help for both being this awful situation.

    Even after buying a brand new HDMI wire I am still getting the ************* error code PLYB_122. A ******* 8k capable wire. What in the ******* hell @Verizon or @roku??

  • MattPierceblog
    Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reported

    This entire @F1 and @Apple agreement has been fine broadcast wise but it's this entire bullshit around it being forced into another subscription, lagging latency when using a smart TV, and crap. Just give me my F1 app on @Roku with a single sign in and one reasonable subscription

  • jamzdotnet
    Jason Miller (@jamzdotnet) reported from Kings Park, Virginia

    Why is the MASN app broken on Roku? Why is streaming TV so terrible... And we used to complain about cable boxes ... @Roku @masnOrioles

  • imtamikalee
    ✨imtamikalee ©™ (@imtamikalee) reported

    This is such an inconvenience especially for the money I paid. I contacted customer service so assistance only to be rerouted to get tech help with a fee. I googled if this was normal and there are SO many complaints about TCL Roku tvs blackscreening!

    Have we as a society been too quiet about how awful tv remote controls are? Fire stick? Roku??? These things are the mini muffins of remotes and I will not stand for it

    My biggest fear as a writer is to basically be boiled down to "Person's thing." Pavlov's gun, Schrodinger's cat, Roku's basilisk. All my life's work boiled down to 2 words? That's gotta ******* suck.
