    @hoichoitv I'm living in USA and purchased an annual membership. I am not able to see any pictures of new movies and series on my @Roku TV. I can hear only the sound. Free episodes/ trailers are working well on my TV. Please solve the issue asap or else refund my money.

    @PrachiR46315213 Mein kisi ko Kiu Roku I haven’t seen any post like that, and as I said, idc about Hania, diljit or the film. I found your statement to be dumb so that’s why I quoted your post, you should’ve been clearer about what you meant if you have a problem with me questioning it

    Why is the MASN app broken on Roku? Why is streaming TV so terrible... And we used to complain about cable boxes ... @Roku @masnOrioles

    Fix: On my TCL Roku TV whenever I would turn a movie on Disney+ it would turn to a dark almost black screen. after I turned the Backlight down from 100, it worked.

    @Roku @caseyrosewilson Latest update on Roku has brought on tons of issues. Can't remove finished listings from continue watching, completing episodes goes on to random programs, etc. And periodically it just resets itself. How about rolling back to stability?

    Does anyone know someone with experience building a Roku app? I find a bunch of people who are down for the work until they find out it's for a rental app and not AVOD. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

    @DIRECTV & @Roku count your days! Why would you allow a customer to sign up via Roku and thru your services for the same exact product. Why tf would i sign up for the same sorry *** service twice! & for @Roku not to issue refunds after I’ve been charged twice is crazy

    @TVMoJoe Roku TV, and I've had the same issue on Fire TVs, I suspect maybe only Apple is overriding whatever wonky code is happening in Peacock (because it's not just me)

    @Verizon hey, why does my home internet default to a different location then I’m at? I cant get my @watchfoxone to work correct because it’s giving me Chicago as my local news, not Milwaukee! How can I fix this? I updated my correct address on @Roku
