-
Support Your Producing Housewives (@RespectProdHWs) reportedFYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA
-
austin bb (@popespeed) reported@Sling on @Roku Sling channels with scoreboard inset (e.g. ESPN), the Roku "*" function button does not work (to bring up menu to adjust brightness/other settings). Have to exit to a different channel before I can adjust settings. Is there a fix (or way to disable scoreboards)?
-
Dr. Stack Sats & HODL (@NoBagHolder) reportedDear @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.
-
Ant Murdering She Devil (@ShelleyElwood) reported@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)
-
RoughTradeRadio (@RoughTradeRadio) reported@walt_stachura @slinganswers Same. Later in the evening I got: "I was able to confirm with our team that this is a known issue with Roku devices. Our Engineers are working on getting it resolved as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
-
Brittney (@hope_britt) reported@DIRECTV & @Roku count your days! Why would you allow a customer to sign up via Roku and thru your services for the same exact product. Why tf would i sign up for the same sorry *** service twice! & for @Roku not to issue refunds after I’ve been charged twice is crazy
-
[a case of the blog] (@acaseofthetwit) reportedI normally love my @Roku — I have one for each TV! — but my living room one has been a real issue. The remote randomly stopped working and the device itself now reboots itself multiple times a day (often in the middle of viewing something). Very annoying.
-
Greg (@Xuser784) reported@Skippyqsb @Roku @TheRokuChannel Same here. New issue.
-
Alex Spicola (@AlexSpicola) reported@Roku @RokuSupport NEED 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?

-
V@rified Packer Fan (@zhotster) reported@CoachDrewNelson I have been getting tons of notifications from @Roku. I found out on Reddit that it was a Roku tech problem, not a hacker. Hope it's the same for you.
-
((MS__no__nothing)) 👨🦼🎗💙🔯 (@msnonothing1) reported@Roku FIX your apps already. ViaPlay, Howdy. Hire some good techs & earn your money. Two days now. Shame on you. @RokuSupport & tell your AI bot what go sod yourself means...
-
Ben (@TableTopLiberty) reported@DIRECTV I did the trial and I have some feedback on what would win me (and I assume others) over from @YouTubeTV. I use @Roku and the left and right buttons for changing channels instead of rewind and fast forward is the worst. Also allowing 3 streams outside but only 2 from TVs is dumb.
-
Dr. GigaDad, PharmD, BCPS, BCEMP (@Shayne_McKee_) reported@enhanced_games @Roku @ResortsWorldLV Crazy that it took you until now to announce where you’ll be hosting the games. Terrible marketing.
-
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 ********?
-
Mark Tapanes (@MarkTapanes) reported@RokuSupport @Roku I’ve emailed 5x on case 00135722 and then yesterday I got an email asking if I still need help. Still need help- thanks!
-
Salt Bae of the ******* (@thisiskenzo_) reportedAight im tired of tweeting about this. @Crunchyroll @Roku YALL HAVE ONE WEEK TO FIX THIS ROKU APP BEFORE I PERMANENTLY END MY SUBSCRIPTION
-
Justlivingonearth (@Justlivingonea2) reported@Roku Roku refuses to let me login to my HBO Max account. Now HBO says email and password don’t look right. Yet when I use the Vizio remote, there’s no problem. 🤷🏼
-
✘ 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐒𝐎𝐍 (@RiseLordWilson) reported@Roku Day 9,000 of asking you to fix your **** *** private listening on your app.
-
🍂 Autumn 🍂 (@AutumnTweets) reported@Roku you SOB, you used to have some of the most seasoned and easy to work with tech support operators out there - now you trying to be sneaky, transferring us from one dog **** clanker to another. 😭
-
Aaron (@_aarontokes) reported@Roku @Roku You guys make the shittiest ******* TVs I just bought this and all it does is glitch! Piece of ****!
-
Marek Tyrpa @marekt@dotnet.social (@marekt) reported@slinganswers Are you guys having issues with your Roku app? Two of my Roku devices updated the Sling app and now sling will not start. Just stuck on the red loading wheel.
-
G.P. (@zerochill13) reportedCrunchyroll has the worst roku app ever. At this point they are better off not offering it at all
-
Rych Rage (@RychRage) reported@Roku @jjscomedy Roku, we shouldn't have to connect to the internet to watch OTA channels. Please fix this. If there is an internet outage, which does happen, then Roku users are screwed from even our local OTA channels.
-
Drew Schuyler (@drewsky1) reported@Roku when do you think you'll get this audio issue figured out? getting real annoying to have to stop and restart because of the audio glitches
-
Liam Matthew (@ElBick8) reportedHave 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
-
Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reportedThis entire @F1 and @Apple agreement has been fine broadcast wise but it's this entire bullshit around it being forced into another subscription, lagging latency when using a smart TV, and crap. Just give me my F1 app on @Roku with a single sign in and one reasonable subscription
-
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @Roku Why did you mess up the main menu? Now I've got a bunch of stuff, I don't want, that I have to scroll through to get to my apps, and I can't remove or move them. Also the app icons are smaller? Seriously? Fix this, please, and stop messing with our menus. #Roku
-
Atul K. Verma (@atveusa) reported@Roku your streaming stick is not working and I can’t find a way to return it. Your support page is asking to speak with someone but the number is not connecting. Not a good support model I see
-
(Rebəl) Shane (@Smoke3x) reported@Roku your @espn app is STILL screwed up! Y’all need to fix it!
