    @KlowdTelevision Georgia - Not working on ROKU

  • jericalrogers Jerica (@jericalrogers) reported

    Hey @hbomax your Roku app doesn’t work for me and waiting on an “advocate” to help takes 8 hours? As the most expensive streaming subscription I have, the math isn’t adding up.

  • billsrock12 EB (@billsrock12) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum Thank you for the link…that’s actually the same one I found. It’s still not working correctly. Are there any limitations to using certain model televisions? I have a TCL Roku tv and I know the Roku is no longer available to use the Spectrum TV App. Could this be my problem?

  • JacksonsDee SipN601 (@JacksonsDee) reported

    Been on the phone 30 minutes trying to help my homeboy get closed caption off his tv. Soon as i ended up throwing **** he tells me that its not the tv itself but he's running his roku

  • doffomoffo Doffo M. Moffo (@doffomoffo) reported

    @Muna_Mire I'm guessing they want you to stop using the streaming devices you're currently using. They made Roku sweat it out & they were one of the last to get the app and now w that it's on Roku, I have absolutely no problem when I use it.

  • yungdreadhead25 DFade (@yungdreadhead25) reported

    Damn got to busy at work and missed Roku upside, I called it Friday 😭

  • hra_marie 🦑Hayden💚&💚Marie🦑 💕Pyun💗Pyun💖Pyun💕 (@hra_marie) reported

    I'm gonna watch it on my PHONE until @Roku @TeamYouTube please fix it NOW. Please.

  • jausenbaugh Jamie Ausenbaugh (@jausenbaugh) reported

    @laurabwise @nbc We were having the same problem. I ended up installing the NBC app on our Roku and streaming it. Frustrating for sure.

  • Gerbzah1 Gerbzah999 (@Gerbzah1) reported

    @RokuSupport serious question. I’ve been running across many problems with running YouTube on Roku recently. It’s been going on for a month. When I click on it it won’t start up or I get a message that says youtube could not run bc it couldn’t be reinstalled. It’s across 2 homes

  • TeamYouTube TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) reported

    @raiderdawg71 Hmm, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the YouTube app? If yes, we recommend restarting your Roku device as well. If that didn't work, you can send a report by going to your profile icon > Send feedback. We're here if you have any other questions!

  • JajTyson jaj&tyson (@JajTyson) reported

    @Roku @netflix which one of y'all is to blame for the Netflix app constantly messing up on my roku TV?? Fix it!

  • Jay01El ElJay01 (@Jay01El) reported

    I have so much trouble with this damn YouTube app on the roku. Roku deletes it half the time and now today it won’t load at all. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • NorthOakmontStk North Oakmont Stocks (@NorthOakmontStk) reported

    Many investors are missing the boat with Roku stock. Their problem? A majority of investors incorrectly think of Roku as its product — the streaming stick or smart TV — instead of Roku as its platform.

  • KasiTheKidd kasi (@KasiTheKidd) reported

    @originalmrvn @Roku unplug your tv for like 5 mins cause i was having the same problem and now they’re working!

  • robinrene13 Robin-Rene Montgomery (@robinrene13) reported

    @ToriHelms @LokiSnakes How does Roku work? Do you pay for Roku and get other streaming services? How much per month? Extra charge per streaming service?

  • EYEOFNIGHTVALE cecil (@EYEOFNIGHTVALE) reported

    HELP THE VOLUME BUTTON ON MY ROKU REMOTE STOPPED WORKING

  • Atomic_Spike Atomic Spike (@Atomic_Spike) reported

    @TheJovenshire @hbomax I have that issue with the shudder app. Works fine on the roku but stutters and freezes on the new Xbox

  • JoeWill47322478 Joe Williams (@JoeWill47322478) reported

    @cmartin78 @YouTubeTV @Roku I did the remove, restart, and add on my Roku device. But the YouTube app still doesn’t do anything when I click it. At least through Twitter I found I am not the only one that has this problem. Google themselves don’t even acknowledge😤

  • RedsfanIndy Steve in Indy (@RedsfanIndy) reported

    @hulu_support still having HUGE problem watching live TV with our Roku interface. Keep getting “Live TV can only be paused for a limited time” and program, especially sports, shows something from hours prior.

  • elijahkamskis celeste :) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ RANBOO 3 MIL (@elijahkamskis) reported

    @YouTubeTV Any reason why I haven't been able to launch the YoutubeTV app on my Roku Ultra, it tries to open and just closes, happening for weeks now, any help appreciated!

  • MFYBOMH MFYBOMH (@MFYBOMH) reported

    @90TJM @cminmd @Muna_Mire Using roku. I don't recall any notable problems when I had some active time on there for a month earlier this year.

  • hra_marie 🦑Hayden💚&💚Marie🦑 💕Pyun💗Pyun💖Pyun💕 (@hra_marie) reported

    WtF, @Roku. I wanna watch E3 on my TV, and it won't let me in YouTube. FIX IT NOW!

  • joeolson2009 Joe Olson (@joeolson2009) reported

    @neonboudeauxesq @Less_HumbleTeej This … that Disney+ package was a disaster since we had it on Roku at first and it wouldn’t recognize the account on any other platform. When you see is truly work on YTV or ANYTHING else it just reminds you how atrocious this is
