    **** both @Roku and @TeamYouTube for their bs bickering over money, as if either company is hurting, just for both companies to screw over their customers and act like it's a technical issue. Pathetic ********.

    @YouTubeTV @Roku why won’t my YouTube TV app work through my Roku device? Been using great for 2 years and now not working. What’s the deal

    @YouTubeTV very interesting that your service doesn't work on my @Roku but does on my @AppleTV. Stop using your customers as pawns in your negotiations.

    @Marvelous32 Thanks for trying to troubleshoot – the Roku team shared on their Help Center, they're already looking into this issue. We recommend not to uninstall the YouTube TV app, which will lead you to lose access to it on Roku devices. Appreciate your patience in the meantime.

    So, is everyone having trouble with their #Roku right now? The only service I’ve found that will load at the moment is Netflix.

    @Cat_Gray14 Hello! We're here to help. If your Roku doesn't connect to your apps, try restarting your modem, network router, and Roku by turning off the power to these devices. Wait for 30 seconds, and then re-start them. Let us know if the issue continues. -Sara

    @TeamYouTube I deleted the youtube tv app because the error it was giving me the fix says to delete and re-install. You no longer can download the youtube tv app on roku. Are you refunded me for 3 rokus then? If I cant watch football this wknd will be snapping on you guys.

    @TeamYouTube @funkmasterjedi This @teamyoutube tweet just admits you have a contract dispute and it is not a technical issue. Also why tell people to not uninstall or you will lose access, the access is gone either way. Roku seem to have kicked you off and blocked yt and yttv simple as that. Right?

    @TeamYouTube @RedCadillac21 It removed itself from all the Roku devices including a Roku tv,and now can’t be reinstalled,I’m paying 70 a month for your service,I’m not buying another streaming device,fix this

    @TeamYouTube is the freaking app on roku broken yet again?

  • savageVero
    Veronica Sawyer (@savageVero) reported

    @flfosgl43 Yes apparently @Roku is working on the issue. But I think the issue is due to roku and @YouTubeTV are fighting. Whatever you do don’t delete YouTube TV app you’ll never get it back.

    @BriefsStrategic @KaiLeiRe @Sling It's messed up on my Roku too. Says that I have an issue with the network connection. Worked this afternoon with no problem.

    @HBOMaxHelp the audio assistant randomly turned on and won't **** off. I've restarted the device, confirmed the feature is off, and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Any idea how to fix this? It on my Roku soundbar.

    My @newsmax app won't load tonight on @Roku @RokuSupport. I never added more channels but it's saying it can't run because there's not enough room? I even deleted a channel and that didn't fix it so I uninstalled Newsmax and reinstalled it and I'm getting the same thing.

    @ssaint565 @Roku @amazon My old Roku without tv controls was basically unusable. Where this Roku I have now I think is real good. I always felt amz firetv had a slow operating system. I use Chromecast in my living room but you basically use your cell phone to control everything. The new one has remote

    Hey @roku, I don't care what fued you and Youtube/Google are having, I expect the apps on the Roku devices I have purchased to work. If I can't watch YouTube/YouTube TV on any of the SEVERAL Roku devices I have within 24 hrs. I'm DONE with Roku. FIGURE IT OUT!!!!

    @TeamYouTube is there something going on with the Roku app? I keep getting an error stating it cannot be reinstalled from the network. I’ve reset everything to no avail.

    @YouTube is there a problem with YouTube on Roku? @Roku I haven't been able to get the app to load in 2 days! I've restarted, deleted, reinstalled, restarted and still nothing

  • Cat_Gray14
    Cat Gray (@Cat_Gray14) reported

    @AmazonHelp The issue continues. It seems to be a problem on @Roku's end, they've posted on their website they're looking into it. They've apparently been looking into it all day. 😣 Thank you for your response though! If enough channels are aware, maybe it'll put pressure on them to fix it.

    @TeamYouTube too late, uninstalled youtubetv on roku trying to fix error, you should have pushed messages to users in advance of this fiasco!
