    Have we as a society been too quiet about how awful tv remote controls are? Fire stick? Roku??? These things are the mini muffins of remotes and I will not stand for it

    Hey @Roku I’m in an Airbnb and you’re the most inconvenient thing on earth to login 12 times to everything. Don’t need help, just stating facts. You suck. Help your customers not be cheap and get actual cable, you’re extremely inconvenient

    @Roku I am having so many issues with my TV. What’s going on??

    @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?

    @Roku I’ve seen dollar stores in poor areas with higher quality product than you

    @Ask_Spectrum good morning. Getting a 999 code on all my Roku devices which usually means theres a App issue. Can you check?

    @james37144 @Roku It's working for a lot of people but as Glenn said on radio and on the Commuity page it still needs polishing but we tried to get it up in time to work out the kinks before the special.

    @cbailsvcu And you didn't even see a Roku time slot on there. Those are the worst.

    @Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know

    @scast86 @GetflixAU Did they give you a fix or workaround perhaps? Our @Roku just says there's no network whatsoever.

    What good are notebooks? (@Zaack23) reported

    @LMDhusky2023 @discoveryplus @FIAWEC Discovery+ isn't stable on the Roku either. It simply does not adjust bandwidth ever; I proved it on the PC with some technicals and Discovery's answer was "use tethering on your PC to force it into mobile mode." Which a) won't work and b) what ********?

    @hulu_support @cole_fine Same issue here! Live channels are down. Trying to watch on Roku and all channels are stuck on a loop. Also tried on the iPhone app and get error code p-dev318.

    Currently going through the run around with @MLBTV and @Roku about my MLB TV account - paid for yearly subscription last month - MLB is claiming it expired today. ROKU says problem is on MLB end. MLB says problem is on ROKU end - run around for 2 hours now

    @Fightincowboy @Crunchyroll My back button isn’t working anywhere on any Roku remote. Multiple TVs with the same issue. @Roku

    And that turns CC ON for EVERYTHING. Switch from @DisneyPlus to @hulu ? Congratulations! CC. Because one had to turn on CC in the Roku TV settings instead of the show on @DisneyPlus Again, completely idiotic First World problem.

    Scott (@revscottd) reported

    Our @Shentel internet has been out all day. That means no cable tv (because they stream it now), no phone (because our home phone relies on the internet) and @Roku tv’s have to have internet so the app to watch over the air antenna tv can work. 1/2

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Keep getting connection issue error and telling me to check my connection, then it dumps me back to main Roku menu. Connection is fine. I have no problems with other apps, just with Roku Channel. I have checked for updates and rebooted. Still getting error.

    This is such an inconvenience especially for the money I paid. I contacted customer service so assistance only to be rerouted to get tech help with a fee. I googled if this was normal and there are SO many complaints about TCL Roku tvs blackscreening!

    @Ask_Spectrum is there any plan to fix the "last channel" function on app for @Roku using the RW button. Functioned for years & it just stopped. Every Roku I have no longer has this function. It's really annoying to not be able toggle back/forward. V15.2 B:0

    @russ998 @Thrones_Facts I buy the cheapest Roku TV’s that Walmart/target sell in their respective sizes, and I did not have any issues seeing what was happening.

    This is a total first world problem, but I lose my mind that it takes 12 minutes and 85 clicks to finally get to the show I’m trying to watch and one accidental step of my dog to wind up on Roku Greatest Hits.

    @PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home. My ROKU is running software version 15.1.4 Build 3321. Yes I've restarted the unit and no it doesn't help. Your app is version 5.45 Build 3 I've cleared the ROKU cache, removed & reinstalled your app.

    I'll NEVER buy another @Roku TV. Mom's is 8 years old and it was fine. Turn it on, it had all her channel numbers on antenna. Recently it's "updated" with no channel numbers, no way to just have antenna channels, and she wants to replace it because it's "broken". Garbage product.

    @Roku Your captcha is garbage, your website is garbage, and I've tried a dozen times to recover my password but keep getting looped back to your goddamn captcha. Please fix your garbage!
