@Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,
The Dude Abides (@Cantor82) reported 4 minutes ago
@Ask_Spectrum is there a problem with the spectrum app on Roku and the cell phone?
Ant Murdering She Devil (@ShelleyElwood) reported 7 minutes ago
@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)
Alex Spicola (@AlexSpicola) reported 7 minutes ago
@RokuSupport @Roku HELP!!! - My subscription support ticket (#13949322) was escalated but I haven’t received any updates. Can someone please check the status and advise on next steps?

@YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.
Scott (@revscottd) reported 8 minutes ago
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

Somebody help me find the Roku remote
Random Daily Thoughts (@thatmom80) reported 14 minutes ago
The @Roku remote sucks more battery in a month than I suck at adulting . They really need to work on their remotes . I heard a lot of people found the switch to fire stk considering, but do they have e Listen to your clients #roku #pannel
Catherine of Siena (@1catherinesiena) reported 24 minutes ago
What’s the problem @directv with logging into my account for my @Roku ? The login hasn’t changed as in password until you’ve stated otherwise in my several attempts to access through my Roku. Further makes no sense since other TV/Roku in household is ‘up’ right now.

@ChristinaSciblo @MyTweetsLie @TeflonBernie I just pay $90 for internet only and stream everything with my Roku tv.. oh and pay $16 for Hulu. Lamar even streams his games and never had problems. Make the switch Bernie
Sean N.🔫 (@dsean) reported 25 minutes ago
I've already done all of the troubleshooting suggestions. None have worked. The only device your service has an issue with is a Roku stick 3600X on a Starlink network. Every other app works fine. It's just the Hulu app that has performance issues. And by that I mean the video and audio on both live and DVR'd shows are out of sync and usually crash after a few minutes (if that). The workaround is to go to a different TV or to use a different app - i.e. use Disney+ to watch shows because it works there but not on your app. A recent example is the new Librarians show. Works fine on the TNT app using Hulu's login (though I have to sit through ads). Completely unwatchable on the Hulu app. Barely plays off the cloud DVR with out of sync audio and crashes the app every 2 minutes or so.

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!

@Roku Disney Plus isn’t working on my Roku Ultra. Hasn’t been for over a week. Fix this.
redheadgrl🍂 (@redheadgrl04) reported 28 minutes ago
Let’s see if @Hulu will actually work today. I dunno if it’s on their end or @Roku but all week I’ve had problems.
🤔🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ (@TwittaElite) reported 35 minutes ago
Contacted @RokuSupport last week after their own service (@TheRokuChannel) stopped working properly. A week and a half later, it's still not working. So glad I don't have a subscription through the Roku Channel or I'd be upset.

@MsSariBrooke @Roku I can’t work out how to watch it here in the UK 😩
Dr. Stack Sats & HODL (@NoBagHolder) reported 38 minutes ago
Dear @MLBTV please fix your @Roku app. Every time I try to resume a game the next day from where I turned it off, the broadcast begins where I left off, immediately crashes, and then starts back at the beginning of the game when I restart it.

@Crunchyroll Please fix your **** on Roku. Why does my show keep playing even when I turn off my t.v? Also why can’t I skip intros and outros??? You know people just FF those sometimes right???

@hulu_support @Ann_Elyse Not having any issues with Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Peacock, Tubi, freevee, etc. Just checked with a friend who has YouTube TV. No issues there. Might be time to switch.

Even after buying a brand new HDMI wire I am still getting the ************* error code PLYB_122. A ******* 8k capable wire. What in the ******* hell @Verizon or @roku??
Bryan (@Bry1527) reported 52 minutes ago
@Crunchyroll @Roku Hey is there a way to fix the Crunchyroll app on Roku tv?? It's been saying "session expired. You've been logged out" for weeks. I can still use my account no problem on every other device like normal.

@slinganswers Suddenly #Sling FreeStream on #Roku has this msg: "11-6 Looks like a #location issue. 1)Make sure you aren't on VPN; 2) Enable location services if they aren't on (mobile devices only)" Neither issue is valid. I am in Md USA. Please fix this. 😠 cc @Sling @Roku
Periodic Audio: Mobile First Hi-Fi 🏴‍☠️ (@periodicaudio) reported 53 minutes ago
Not to mention, @roku, an app I PAID FOR was deleted and there's no way to reinstall without buying it again. Where do I send the bill to, so you can reimburse me? Seriously you have a great system, but your updates are horribly broken and ruin the system.
Watermelon Sugar (Bisan's version) (@HippieChic82) reported 53 minutes ago
Never mind a 3 hour #SmackDown whatever is going on with @verizon or my @Roku TV. I can't get rid of this damn playback error. I even did a whole damn factory reset to my TV and still getting error code PLYB_122 for over a month. My TV is BARELY 5 years old.
