  • Themariocrafter Google Juice (@Themariocrafter) reported

    @skim71 Additionally, Smart TV forensics is really unknown as of now, and there are a few platforms with ZERO “real” forensic work that have BILLIONS of users, Roku OS, SmartCast, VIDAA, and Tizen.

  • leonikatanya yikes (@leonikatanya) reported

    My Roku app doesn’t load in on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I’ve tried redownloading it but it still doesn’t work. Any help?

  • LoriPettit12 Lori Pettit (@LoriPettit12) reported

    Begin day 5 of #RainbowBridgeCat. Torn between getting actual work done or drinking coffee and mindless binging old sitcoms on ROKU. Will probably chuck it all and go on a grocery/dog food run, then wind up with face buried in a DQ large vanilla cone.

  • thenordz Shaun N (@thenordz) reported

    @kendallbaker Roku app is absolutely junk wish they would fix that

  • SeeDubyaSee Chris Colby (@SeeDubyaSee) reported

    Gotta find some time to research setting up a VPN and if one would work with my Roku TV. Don't know where to start. Probably with a notebook, a pen, and a Google search.

  • Bluewaveacoming Blue Tsunami (@Bluewaveacoming) reported

    @Roku I bought two dozen of your proprietary TVs and NONE of them will work with an outside sound system other than you cheap ****** speakers!! I have a large venue and I am throwing every one of your **** TVs in the trash and starting over! **** you you sad **** company

  • SmellyFishtank Croatian Jedi🇭🇷 (@SmellyFishtank) reported

    @TSN_Sports your ROKU app is a steaming pile of crap, live feeds are not working. Why is there no Android TV app? It's Daytona weekend do better.

  • sandeepsivan86 Sandeep Sivan (@sandeepsivan86) reported

    @hotstarcanada I’m seeing an issue with hotstar app since Friday morning. I use Roku streaming device, just get an error like geographical licensing restrictions. CO-7.. can you help me in fixing the issue

  • Cult_Film_Fan Cult Film Fan (FOLLOW Please) (@Cult_Film_Fan) reported

    @Stephen81240202 It might be free on Tubi or something I haven't looked. I'm making the plan to watch my DVDs, but I suspect better quality prints might be on Roku since many of my DVDs are old.

  • TheAimercat Amy Harber, queen of all social media ;) (@TheAimercat) reported

    can someone please tell @AMC_TV that their app is broken....no, it's not my TV or Roku cuz i've tried it on 3 different TVs

  • normalsizedhand fullbathtub (@normalsizedhand) reported

    Can someone at Roku fix how loud the mf YouTube start up screen is

  • Xmetalfanx Xmetal (@Xmetalfanx) reported

    if i remember the fine people at @MyRadarWX (@ the app) said they couldn't make this happen because of the way @Roku 's OS is or something but it'd be nice IF there was some way the two could work together and get it so there COULD be a Roku app

  • JNCO_suave Sandy Banchero (@JNCO_suave) reported

    @jamesabaileyjr @NBA mine hasn’t had any issues in a long time. Using iPhone and Roku

  • Flannimal66 Flannimal (@Flannimal66) reported

    @AngryCops @hulu I don't like the program on PC, but I don't have any issues through a browser or on Roku.

  • mi77en Darren (@mi77en) reported

    @bareknucklefc fix your **** app. Not working on Nvidia Shield or Roku. I know it is not my internet. I have fiber speeds. #KnuckleMania3

  • itsdrea89 Drea (@itsdrea89) reported

    I have a @Roku tv and stick. I love it but every time I go to watch anything on Netflix it crashes or doesn’t work at all. Does anyone else have Netflix issues on the Roku? All my other services are great but Netflix is the only one that doesn’t work. #roku #netflixroku #help

  • chick_earth Earth Chick (@chick_earth) reported

    @Roku why have I just started seeing a remote battery life indicator on screen every 30 seconds when it’s fully charged? Appears to be an issue since forum posts date back to 2015. Make it stop!!!

  • Crayzcapper That Nick Guy (@Crayzcapper) reported

    @AngryCops @hulu I watch on Roku and, aside from slight delays whenever I pick something to watch (2-3 seconds), I haven't had any problems. I also only have 2 devices on and connected at a time, so take that with a grain of salt I suppose.

  • lilaclover4 It'smybusiness (@lilaclover4) reported

    Spectrum sucks. I have a Spectrum Outage on my Roku, had to call support to find out that it was out, no notification. Thanks Spectrum!

  • Lary9 L.E. Alba (@Lary9) reported

    @Roku @RokuSupport9 I've tried to "Sign In" and/or "Create a New Acct" from my Amazon Fire Stick, following your instructions, three times. Nothing works like you say it's supposed to. I can't even get to square one. Maybe bcz I owned a Roku HD streaming box for 10 yrs. (~)

    @NBA Horrible. This belongs in a video game. Not the actual realtime game that I’m watching. How about y’all fix the bugs on Roku TV first?

  • ffarkiplier ffarkiplier (COMMS OPEN / 4 SLOTS) (@ffarkiplier) reported

    @Shudder The AMC+ app on Roku continues to underwhelm. Needs some work.

  • BrandonBockrath Brandon Bockrath (@BrandonBockrath) reported

    I feel like there are a dozen things I should be doing today but I found This Old House Classic on the Roku and I'm content putting a dent in the couch watching Bob Villa work his magic now.

  • ChrisBishopL1C4 Christopher Bishop (@ChrisBishopL1C4) reported

    @newjvbell270 @Ceece17 Sorry for the questions…trying to understand to see if I can help. - Are you trying to connect the roku to the cable box and then watch it on the tv? - I assume you have wifi for it to connect to?
