  • MeganBozman Megan Bozman (@MeganBozman) reported

    @rmbodenheimer LOL, every time my husband & I use HBO* we complain about the awful UI. *& we can't remember if it's HBO Max, HBO Go, or HBO Now. Somehow we had multiple such links on our Roku homepage for a while.

  • TheJamesDTVreal James Driver (@TheJamesDTVreal) reported

    @TeamYouTube I’m having an issue where on my Roku’s YouTube app where right after a 2-ad break, exactly five seconds after the two ads, I get another two ads. So basically it’s four ads in a row. Idk if it’s a glitch or a bug but it’s kinda annoying. Please fix this soon.

  • kennybarco Kenny Barco (@kennybarco) reported

    @DIRECTVhelp @BluDreAms04 My directv stream hasn’t worked for about an hour. Wi-Fi is fine but the app won’t work on Roku, Apple TV, or fire stick. What is going on??

  • SteamboatUSA SOTUS (@SteamboatUSA) reported

    “But you can turn autoplay off” shut up I am not going into settings just to make something usable when these companies have literal teams of people paid to make their **** not terrible from a UI perspective without writing 1s and 0s with my Roku remote.

  • lmallen1129 Lisa Young (@lmallen1129) reported

    Hey @ATTHelp direcTV stream isn’t working on any smart device. On multiple roku devices getting a 50001-001 error and oops something went wrong. All other apps work fine.

  • flyingwalruss Sean (@flyingwalruss) reported

    @GrahamB47 I've used it a ton on iPhone, TLC Roku TV, a pretty cheap Vizio smart tv, and pc, never once a single issue, I've never understood all the jokes about it.

  • tonytau101 Tony Ilian (@tonytau101) reported

    Hey @9Now Your ‘recently watched’ sub menu seems to cause the application to crash. I’m watching on @telstra TV (Roku) box. The 9now app is the only app that bugs out and crashes to the main menu of Telstra TV. Any ideas? TI

  • COsvaGomez C. Osvaldo Gomez (@COsvaGomez) reported

    @heymrsbond The biz model is tough. Roku took it on the chin when they reported their earnings a few days ago. Netflix isn’t doing well either. NFLX solution includes spending tons on content to attract more subs. Not working. I’m not sure how they can value add or find other source of $.

  • jsh139 Josh Hoffman (@jsh139) reported

    Anyone else having an issue with their @Roku just randomly deciding that it doesn’t want to see any 5Ghz WiFi networks? Even after rebooting routers and Rokus they can’t see the 5G networks. Happening on multiple Rokus. 2.4Ghz seems fine.

  • NotExactlyDee RD Smith 🦹🏾‍♀️ (@NotExactlyDee) reported

    the combination of “Netflix” and “not working” hasn’t been updated at least in the US for a while, but Netflix isn’t working for me—can’t get any images to load on Roku or iOS 😐

  • c_mate13 Chris (@c_mate13) reported

    @luchadorian901 I don't know of a roku option unless there is a VPN app I am not aware of. If I want to go TV I use a firestick with nord VPN app. Problem is firestick is trash so I only use it for aew. Otherwise I just watch on computer if I happen to be at my desk

  • tankmctankytank Astonishing Communists! (@tankmctankytank) reported

    They got Greatest American Hero for free on the roku. The premise is okay, a humble teacher is given a suit that gives him super powers by aliens so he can save the world- the problem is that he has to team up with the FBI to do it. The aliens were very stupid on this point.

  • PFemme2 Jewish Mermaid (@PFemme2) reported

    @VikiStatus Roku is not working for me. Do I have to re-download the app?

  • Dan48252197 Dan (@Dan48252197) reported

    @HIDIVEofficial Yo why won't your roku app work lately?

  • EricJhonsa Eric Jhonsa (@EricJhonsa) reported

    @Bij_M Roku's user metrics weren't bad. Main issue right now is that brand advertisers are cutting spending aggressively.

  • TrevLeaderbrand Trevor Leaderbrand (@TrevLeaderbrand) reported

    @hulu_support can’t seem to find “my recordings” on the Hulu Roku app tonight. Any help?

  • Brotherwolf1 Andrew (@Brotherwolf1) reported

    @Sling im not sure what’s going on but my streaming quality is really bad on my roku device. Some seconds it’s fine then the quality drops

  • IamTiffMarlow Tiff Marlow (@IamTiffMarlow) reported

    @scornedwoman Get a Hisense Roku TV. They have models in every price range. As far as cars go, I'm no help there. I've owned a couple over time, but cars aren't my thing.
