    Fix: On my TCL Roku TV whenever I would turn a movie on Disney+ it would turn to a dark almost black screen. after I went into Picture Settings, turned the Backlight down from 100, it worked.

    @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?

    Trying to change the batteries in my @Roku remote for the first time. Except there is a lip at the bottom of where the batteries go, I am sure to help prevent them from popping out on accident...BUT HOW THE HELL DO I GET THEM OUT ON PURPOSE.

    Oh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?

    @Roku is there a reason why your devices stopped connecting to WIFI? And is this a regional issue? I could connect to the Hotspot on my iPhone. But I can’t connect WIFI to the device. I’ve tried multiple WIFI from different ISPs.

  • a9ymous
    no, i don't think i will, thanks (@a9ymous) reported

    @Roku stop continually making the Live TV interface worse, it's one of the reasons we got this RokuTV (pause/rw terrestrial TV). and fix your subtitle support, constantly having to go back to the main menu and unselect/reselect Always On.

    @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.

    @DisneyPlusUK hi there, is there still a problem with your systems? I tried for 4 hours to cancel my subscription and was sent in circles by @Roku and Disney. Eventually a member of staff on your online chat told me to try later because he couldn't get into the system.

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Why don't you brilliant guys over there just put a "Add new device" link in our profile, since all the other ways to have to add a device DON'T WORK!

    @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.
