    @NBATV fix your app in all your media - have the NBA League but I cannot watch it because your app in different platforms are USELESS (PS5, Xbox, Roku, and phone).

  • TinasBoobPunch Not Really Such A Boob Punch (@TinasBoobPunch) reported

    @secretlybatman Thanks. That does sound like it would interest me, even if it's lesser overall quality! Putting a follow on Roku so they'll let me know whenever it's available on a service I have.

  • MatyRice Maty (@MatyRice) reported

    @NBALPSupport if you guys can’t get your Roku app to work correctly, I’m gonna need a refund. This is unacceptable

  • Codsterdad1996 Craig Cassel (@Codsterdad1996) reported

    Anybody else having issues watching NFL games on @paramountplus via their @Roku ? Plus shows are not loading either

  • hexbugfightclub charles foster kate (@hexbugfightclub) reported

    Disney+ on roku is so broken that marge Simpson wouldn’t stop speaking French until I uninstalled and re-downloaded the app ON MY PHONE and changed the language preferences for that episode

  • gabe90034 Gabe (@gabe90034) reported

    @EricDrown @NBALPSupport I get the same issue on my Roku even today. I figured out a workaround. After it goes to the black screen, I click back on my remote. The game will then play as a small preview. Then, click back into the game, and it works.

  • siberianmi Kevin Kolk (@siberianmi) reported

    @richburroughs The Roku remote on your phone (and some models) supports voice commands, which can do things like “fast forward two minutes” that work great for content with ads.

  • gabe90034 Gabe (@gabe90034) reported

    @brianwipf @NBALPSupport @RokuSupport I get the same issue on my Roku. I figured out a workaround. After it goes to the black screen, I click back on my remote. The game will then play as a small preview. Then, click back into the game, and it works.

  • KarlaJanice7 KYaniss 🌛 (@KarlaJanice7) reported

    @KOT4Q The app does not work in PS5 or Xbox, is not working on Roku and the app is lagging so much that is a joke.

  • JohnH99987 John Hanson (@JohnH99987) reported

    @AdamCrigler @rumblevideo The Roku app needs work. Can it at least show the length of the video on the preview?

  • gabe90034 Gabe (@gabe90034) reported

    @oordco @NBALPSupport I get the same issue on my Roku. I figured out a workaround. After it goes to the black screen, I click back on my remote. The game will then play as a small preview. Then, click back into the game, and it works.

  • JSConiferCO Jack Sparks (@JSConiferCO) reported

    @TheGeffyMan I was able to authenticate my Directv League Pass on the NBA Roku channel and it worked fine. But can’t do it with the NBA app on phone or tablet. And Directv support - while trying to be helpful - are not able to help or even understand the annual problem.

  • alexpeerenboom Alex Peerenboom (@alexpeerenboom) reported from Portland, Oregon

    @BrawleyPDX We watched this during the worst of covid. Had never seen it before, and didn't know it was back again (we saw the Roku stuff too).

  • SeanS1135 Sean Sizemore (@SeanS1135) reported

    @SwipaCam I tried watching on the family Xbox in the living room didn’t work, so I brought my ps5 in there, didn’t work, then brought it back in my room, didn’t work, then brought in a roku tv, didn’t work, then after going in an all out rage I tried my phone and it worked.

  • Todd4LOM 🎃Todd & the Book of Pure Evil🎃 (@Todd4LOM) reported

    @TomPadfoot I’m using Roku and I’ve never really had any issues with it until now. I did a forced restart and I’m trying again. The episode I want is playing fine on the Shudder app on my phone.

  • OnAFoldDraw Travis T Williams (@OnAFoldDraw) reported

    Just a few clicks shy of buying a new @Roku remote off of @amazon, taking it with me to work every day - and not letting the family know about it… just so I always have one at home when I want it. Yes, I know there’s an app but it doesn’t always work with a cold TV

  • mike_fromSJ Fired CNN+ Employee (@mike_fromSJ) reported

    @jtylerconway Well looks like You got got bc you can cop a 400$ Roku tv and be done with it all. 5k for **** that don’t work sounds like it sucks

  • austinherr5 Austin Herr (@austinherr5) reported

    @crosseyedcamel @tslate34 @JustinMBibb I went back and forth with them for 2 weeks last season because the phone app said invalid login, but it worked on the roku app. Customer service was super unhelpful and never helped me fix it so I gave up

    @KevChestnut I get the same issue on my Roku. I figured out a workaround. After it goes to the black screen, I click back on my remote. The game will then play as a small preview. Then, click back into the game, and it works.

  • dkingloyno Dave King (@dkingloyno) reported

    @snowlikejonn When I started streaming Bally I had to get an Apple TV for it to run right. It’s still very glitchy but at least it solved the freezing and audio sync issues. It was garbage on my Roku although I have no other problems on the other Roku’s in the house.

  • TireWorldLou Ellis Redding (@TireWorldLou) reported

    The TBS Roku app is literally unusable. And so is watching online. Neither are working. **** TBS.

  • reigningrobin mk 🦇 • D-29 (@reigningrobin) reported

    me at work talking fondly of my roku tv to my coworker then coming home that night for it to never turn on again. CRUEL

  • blake_stakes B (@blake_stakes) reported

    Okay Twitter, the Bally Sports app on my Roku think I'm in the NOLA market and won't let me watch the Mavs game. I can watch it on my phone or Fire Stick, but not my Roku. What's the fix? .@BallySportsSW

  • ChaSiuBaoDS DS (@ChaSiuBaoDS) reported

    @Sling @slinganswers If parental controls are on an account and device, why is it not required if someone tries to add a streaming service on the Roku app? It completely defeats the purpose of having a PIN and your dev team needs to fix this issue.

  • oordco OORDCO™️ (@oordco) reported

    @NBALPSupport games don’t play on roku, just a black screen. Why is league pass terrible year after year?

  • gastonxleone Gaston (@gastonxleone) reported

    @NBALPSupport how did league pass get WORSE this year?? doesn’t function at all on roku, HELP!

  • ilikejazzut GettingYourGoat (@ilikejazzut) reported

    @ItsShake4ndbake Couldn't get mine to work at all on Xbox, but got the NBA app on my Roku and it's been playing smoothly

  • jtylerconway Tyler Conway (@jtylerconway) reported

    @mike_fromSJ I shouldn’t have to buy a $40 Roku when I have 5k in TV equipment right in front of me that should just work properly

  • davelguy Davel Raleigh (@davelguy) reported

    @BallySports Doesn’t work on Roku!

  • TireWorldLou Ellis Redding (@TireWorldLou) reported
