I have a question about this Roku thing. So many of you use this for your streaming and is there a reason why? Is it a better quality? Was it cheaper? I’m curious, thanks

@chrisfholm @Roku We have a ... chromecast thing ... and cast HBO Max from our phones to the TV. It was an inexpensive fix for us.

@SarahLReinhardt @Caissie Depending on the age of the iPad, it should work. I'm told Roku's new version (which doesn't require the Chromecast) is buggy. I think the Chromecast thing I bought was around 50 bucks, but I don't remember exactly.

@BlessAmysHeart @thecool_table I just went down the twitter comment rabbit hole regarding this exact issue! According to people in the know, HBO Max will be on Roku very soon. Plus there are other screensavers aside from the dancing R-O-K-U letters? #thingsyoulearnontwitter

I hope HBO and Roku work things out, but at least I don't see a single Warner Bros. movie on that list released today that I'm remotely interested in.

@IN_BC_CAN @Roku I live in Canada. I got my Roku off of Amazon. So I am guessing it would work.

@jeffreyremick See, I love both my Roku tvs. Never had an issue. I do have an issue with HBO being in a contract dispute with roku. Also, they have literally not said a word as to why they had a PS4 app, but no PS5 app. Other than that I'm great.

@MrsSpaceCowboy Wait I saw people saying that if you have an iOS device you can AirPlay hbo max to your roku now. Idk if this works on an android or if this would help you 😭

@Caissie I solved that problem with a $30 chromecast, but I still mostly use roku bc I like the interface better. But I use chromecast for hbomax and casting podcasts and music to my tv

Not sure I care about any of the 2021 WB movies anyway, besides In the Heights. But I now have Roku *and* Amazon Fire and apparently I can't watch HBO Max on either one? Fix your ****, mostly so I can watch West Wing when it moves over.

@NumbZombieMom 2/Available on roku, Amazon etc. Stankey likely had a conversation with Redfield on a worst possible scenario for vaccine rollout. Redfield must have given it to him...This is contingent if the conversation took place...some movie industry folk say no, some saying maybe

@Caissie I think you can airplay to Roku now from your iPhone but I realize this tweet isn’t exactly about finding a work around lol

@ManohlaDargis If Hbo wanted me to pay for max, they could’ve made it available on Roku. Torrenting is the next best option (and cheap- only costs a good quality VPN). Airplay from my mac works just fine.

Anyone else have this issue on ROKU? I can't stand watching ads so when one comes on during the program I'm watching I channel surf, but when I go back to finish watching my program the ad is at the same point I left it. I must clear the "continue watching" under MY TV. Why?

@declanpgarvey You can still pick up an Amazon Firestick Lite for $18, to tide you over until Roku makes the deal. The user interface is as bad as anything I've seen, but it does work.

@TheChairmanMow @rodney_paris I think HBO Max is the only app that doesn't work and that is a new development (HBO Go always worked fine). I have an Apple TV as well, but its old and looks really janky, and the Roku is right there when I turn on my TV and has all my apps.

@AnnaNimiteeAZ @addictedtotext @DoctorZorders It’s not but you have access to HBO Max for free since you have Prime. I use a FireTV for the app. Just go to Prime Video Channels as the subscriber when you want to login. You can use it from a phone and firestick too. Not Roku though. It’s worth it!

@75toRupp Overall it's better. No playback issues, when i had some occasionally with Roku (due to an inconsistent wifi signal). The interface feels quicker. It remembers more of what you watched previously. Hell i even prefer the remote.
