Ahhhhhh, why do I get signed out of @Shudder nearly ever day on Roku!? And they have the most difficult way of signing in (typing in app). I’m so sick of this. They have the worst app of all streaming channels and this is my last year of their service. I’m starting to hate them.

@Rickster5 @Roku I take that back….. I HAD an insignia 32” that only lasted 3 years …. Didn’t have any issues until a couple months ago when screen would slowly turn black like ink was spilling over it? then go complete black but sound still worked. So maybe it’s just insignia.

After no improvements viewing Peacock with the Roku box, switched over viewing on my Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K HDR Android TV Box. No more jump to next show problems, and the commercials cut in and out much smoother as well. Win win.

@YouTubeTV ngl, you guys almost had me, but the Roku fight put me off. I like the service, but I need it to work on my tv.

After no improvements with the Roku box, switched over viewing Peacock on the Mo Box S flavor of android TV. No more jump to next show problems, and the commercials cut in much less spastically too. Win win.

@NVIDIASHIELD The newest UI update on my Nvidia Shield is absolutely the worst. Getting advertisements for services I don't have, add bar takes up over a third of the screen on my television. Remove it or I will switch back to Roku.

their cloud streaming service really going I think they’re going to dump the hardware portion and just focus on the games. And I don’t blame them, there’s no reason for them to be in console business, it doesn’t work for them. They’re going to throw Gamepass on a Roku stick and

@Roku you and @YouTubeTV need to work your mess out because my mother in law needs youtubetv but roku doesn’t support it so now we gotta bring TiVo into it but she’s gonna have to deal with multiple remotes. She’s 83. This mess y’all have is hurting our parents. Fix it.

Every time I try to watch True Detective on @hbomax with Roku, the show glitches and resets. Why am paying for@this steaming service if it doesn’t work?! All I want is to is watch my show at the end of the day. #HBOMax #poorservice

I bought a new tv. One of the things I am most looking forward to is never seeing @Roku’s awful “more ways to watch” banner ever again, which pops up and asks you to spend money on the thing you’re already watching. 0/10, bad feature

I'm officially taking Pluto TV off my Roku. I'm keeping it on all the other devices, but for some reason, on Roku, it runs like ****. I mean it's always had its glitches, but it's literally unusable on Roku, I've found.

@katchicago @Nina_Metz As much as I love the Criterion Channel, my problem with watching it via Roku on my TV: The subtitles often get out of synch with the dialogue — sometimes showing up on screen before the lines are said. Annoying!

@oxygen If there was like, an Emmy’s for worst streaming apps, your smart TV app would sweep them every time. Utter trash on both Apple TV and Roku.

@mkr_ultra @da5ch0 Is it possible to re-select the quality through the YouTube interface on the Chromecast after you start casting? I think I’ve had similar problems casting to my Roku before

(@danejerustv) reported
The @Funimation Roku app is by far the worst I've seen. Almost exclusively ads from T-Mobile, extra ad breaks added to shows where there weren't any intended to be, and accidentally backing out of a show and re-selecting gets you another 4-commercial ad break. Awful.

@Rickster5 @Roku I currently have a TCL. But yeah other than what happened couple months ago, my insignia had no other issues & worked graat. Maybe insignias are badly made
