-
🌪Jeff Schipull🦌 (@ojkoj) reported@Roku And like… if i reset the tv itll work sometimes, but its a big hassle, and after troubleshooting it appears to be a software issue with the update.
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reportedIs anyone else having issues with @Roku ‘s app?
-
Jennifer Glazer (@JLGlazer) reported@Roku hello. I need help repairing a remote with my Roku. I have followed instructions online, but it’s not working.
-
Abnormal Accrual (@bbm010) reported@robinivski @ContrailsAI @Roku Yep. They are one of the worst ASC 606 sinners.
-
Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported@tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!
-
Mitch (@MizNizzle) reported@hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.
-
Fletch will return in Avengers Doomsday (@IMFletcher2) reported@BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.
-
John Joseph Bonforte (@BonforteJohn) reported@Roku Problems since the update: 1. Sound goes away for DVD player. 2. Sometimes DVD player will no longer play to TV. Restarting fixed it temporarily - until today. 3. Spontaneous resolution changes after a sleep timer is used. 4. Trouble communicating with cable box.
-
ky baby (@__kbolaydiggs__) reported@Roku might be the worst TV brand ever. Remotes never work, when you try to use a mobile remote it can never connect to the TV.. Let’s get it together.
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku asking for a private message is ridiculous. Roku knows exactly what the problems are as it has been widely reported and complaints are numerous. Almost no Roku owner has not been touched by the new update. Slow apps, apps that will not open, unable to download new apps.
-
Vakom Sunrunner (@VakomSunrunner) reported@Roku @RokuSupport Couldn't figure out where to report this but the episode order for The Transformers (1984) series is massively out of order. Not only are episodes not in the official chronological order, you've got season 2 episodes in season 1 and such. Please fix this.
-
𝐌𝐫𝐃𝐫 𝑺𝒂𝒈𝑫𝒆𝒄𝑾𝒉𝒐 (@SagDecWho) reported@ThePriorityPod @Roku I can view my ROKU camera live but the events give errors and won't show In other apps, after a few hours it goes back to the home screen. They really screwed up all the devices apparently
-
Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) reported@Roku UPDATE: I was proven wrong! The Roku TV in question suffered from a software bug, one that the company is aware of and is in the process of fixing. A small number of TVs experienced the glitch, and the company is working to address it. Roku's terrific customer support restored my faith in the company, and I'm so glad we don't have to replace this TV!
-
Sergio Olarte (@repeye) reported@RokuSupport @Roku paying for your home monitoring service but your Entry Sensors have been out of stock for TWO YEARS. Frontline support has no answers. I need an escalation manager to contact me about hardware availability. This is a security system, please help.
-
George H Frost III (@ghfrost3) reported@Roku you are a rip off. Customer service is bullshit take my money and when you can’t make it work refuse a refund. Well **** you. Back to cable
-
Rob Ables (@rables73) reported@MLB can you please fix your streaming app for @Roku and Apple TV so they don’t suck? EVERY SINGLE game I watch on ANY of my streaming devices stops at least 3-4 times per game with spinning circle of death. No other apps have buffering problems on my 1GB line and mesh WiFi.
-
Mike Bryant (@djmikebryant) reported@Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks
-
Inigo Montoya (@Dukefan11) reported@Roku I'm a minimalist. On the home screen, your recent update added several items such as "the best across your streaming services" row, "jump to" row & an add apps button. The screen now feels very cluttered. Please help me hide these. ChatGPT says it cant be done.
-
cru λ (@crufro) reportedThe issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?
-
Rhymes with funky (@KirkYuhnke) reported@MatthewKeysLive @Roku Problem is... finding an actual "dumb tv" is almost impossible anymore. The business model for TV companies has shifted. They don't make $ when I buy the TV anymore.
-
Yehuda @ Y10Tax (@Y10Tax) reported@TCL_USA @Roku @RokuSupport Is it typical that bugs can crawl into your screens? any chance you can help me out here?
-
Cricket (@horseful) reported@Roku what the hell is the point of the 'continue watching' list when you back up my video by 25 minutes????!!!!!!! FIX THAT. THERE'S ENOUGH STUPID **** IN MY LIFE ALREADY.😡😡😡😡
-

-
𝕏༄༂PureBlood༂࿐𝕏 (@MAGALaura818) reported@Roku I HATE THIS NEW HOME SCREEN! IT'S TERRIBLE! CHANGE IT BACK!
-
Charles Wirtz (@CharlesEWirtzJr) reported@espn and @Roku - I can’t access any content. I’m logged into all my accounts, including @Sling, uninstalled and reinstalled all the apps, factory reset the tv, but still can’t get past the get access screen. I get confirmation “success” when I log into through my phone. Help!
