  • webbermon Kyle Barton (@webbermon) reported

    Occurs on all my devices-Roku, Samsung Smart TV, PS3, ATV3, Samsung BluRay, pc. It is not my internet. No other video app has this problem. Please notify tech dept.

  • AndrewMihal ribs.2020.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC (@AndrewMihal) reported

    The cool thing about renovating people's homes is that sometimes they'll say "The closed caption on the roku doesn't work so I got a new TV. Do you know anyone who would like the old one?" and then you have a new TV.

  • TCLNA_Support TCL USA & Canada Support (@TCLNA_Support) reported

    @FiddleElphier @TCL_USA AirPlay 2 and HomeKit work on the vast majority of 4K TCL Roku TVs.

  • banoonoo Anna with Bridgeport Alliance (@banoonoo) reported

    I'm on my lunch break trying to fix my mom's Roku box remotely. My mom: Why is it so difficult? What did it do? Me: Why is it so difficult? What did *you* do?

  • spurpura Stephen Purpura (@spurpura) reported

    @aronchick @googler It does work really well. But Hulu on Roku is broken since the last major update.

  • lbblazej No Restaurants - No Property Tax (@lbblazej) reported

    @danielccross @lblegend33 Story of my life for sure. I’m too quick to trade sometimes. And too willing to hold crap others. CLVS holding too long lost me a bunch. Worst holding. Trading in and out of ROKU has made a bunch.

  • kimverlina k💋 (@kimverlina) reported

    also, roku tvs are the worst **** ever made

  • Rosco9104 Utah,GetMe✌🏼 (@Rosco9104) reported

    My internet is worthless in this f’d up hillbilly state. Phone and computer are running like dial up, Roku won’t work so I can’t watch oan, Alexa won’t work so I can’t listen to music. Guess I’ll sit here in silence and drink

  • CalebPlunk Caleb (@CalebPlunk) reported

    I lost my Roku remote like a week ago and I still can’t figure out where it is HELP

  • thegreatest_og Pete Pablo’s Assistant (@thegreatest_og) reported

    @theCookieMane @Apo1loTheLeo So much hostility roku remote. If you bust quick just say that. No shame in that, just work on it.

  • No1_in_Canada An Alan Smithee Production (@No1_in_Canada) reported

    @BlueMeanieBWO @WWENetwork @Roku They have a lot of issues with the app. Same as their Firestick one.

  • arrongibson Arron Gibson (@arrongibson) reported

    @_developit I’ve found the secret is to plan on a console unit like chrome cast or roku or Apple TV and then entirely disregard the “smart” features. Focus solely on picture quality, size, color etc. Smart features evolve so quickly don’t couple them to the display.

  • skol_kat17 Cathy (@skol_kat17) reported

    @TeamYouTube Last 3 days have issues with stuttering, freezing and crashing when attempting to watch live TV. For a paid service has become unwatchable through ROKU player. Have followed tips to remove and re-add channel without resolution.

  • BlueMeanieBWO Brian Heffron aka The Blue Meanie (@BlueMeanieBWO) reported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Dear @WWENetwork, I'm having problems with @Roku app where if I rewind or fast forward it goes to the start of the program I'm watching. Please fix it!

  • NateMing NATEVEMBER (@NateMing) reported

    @KeikakuKat honestly I'm not surprised that they haven't done any work on the Roku app the Roku is already a nightmare device to work with, but customers have never had an easy or consistent time with CR's Roku app

  • antjo1987 Anthony Josephson (@antjo1987) reported

    @ruskin147 We have a NOW TV box (Roku) and the app on there isn't perfect (will often think you're 15 minutes behind where you left off) but it's not terrible and it has a search function to find specific shows and saves ££££ compared to the same packages on Sky.

  • GreggC_CC Gregg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GreggC_CC) reported

    @AbbasSpace I've gifted my xbox one to my parents to have a better quality streaming box than the roku that struggled.

  • perrylegate Perry Legate (@perrylegate) reported

    @slinganswers trying to play a recording and it is just playing ads on a loop on my Roku TV. Help?

  • MsMarie206 Christine Weldon (@MsMarie206) reported

    Watching #centralpark @AppleTV. Its so good. So happy i was able to fix my account to be able to watch on my phone and roku.

  • MatthewWords Matthew Ross 🎙️✍️🇨🇦 (@MatthewWords) reported

    @Angry24Habs Too much work. I watch Netflix on Roku and Firestick. Not on a browser

  • ladyoftheflwrs Laura (@ladyoftheflwrs) reported

    @Wallflower30 HBO Max is a streaming app, so you download the app on a smart TV, Amazon Firestick, or Roku, and then login with your cable account. I have it via DirecTV and use the same login that I use for the DirecTV site.

  • _pcantagonista Teresa 🇺🇸 ⚡ Release the Kraken! ⚡ (@_pcantagonista) reported

    @CitizensIReport @EzraACohen I can't find The Beam of Light video on Rumble either, Katie. I'm trying to watch again on Roku. Trouble there too? Other vids are there but not that one.

  • BArellno 🅱️ NASTY (@BArellno) reported

    How yall put porn on roku? my phone been broken for a whole week

  • IceNibbles Petrificus Totalus (@IceNibbles) reported

    @esemccutiepants Yeah, I think he let his friendship blind him, and he underestimated what Sozin was capable of. Roku did admit to his mistakes in the finale ATLA, but I do agree with you. Avatar Kuruk was maybe the worst one objectively... idk he didn't do much at all....

  • cjt27 Carolyn (@cjt27) reported

    @Sling STILL having issues using Sling on Roku. Can't watch a program from the beginning if the program is still recording. This has been going on ever since Sling added their own commercials into broadcasts, so over a month. When is this glitch going to be fixed?!

  • EmorytheMemory ladybug 🧳 (@EmorytheMemory) reported

    Bruh when that Roku remote not working on the phone I get so upset...

  • yeahgiancarlo Giancarlo Dittamo (@yeahgiancarlo) reported

    @BlueMeanieBWO @WWENetwork @Roku Hey Meanie!!! I have the same issue with my Amazon Firestick. You need to use the left and right buttons to rewind and fast forward.
