    @amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku

    @Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.

    Hey @PureFlix fix your payment system via @Roku please. I am not having multiple places bill for our tv. It goes through Roku or we don’t get it. I’d like to have the service back, but I’m not subscribing via your website.

    @Roku the new update on the Roku tv is the worst **** I’ve ever seen and I hate you

    @hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.

    So I pay for a subscription on @Roku payment goes through they get the money. Subscription does not work. @Roku is good at taking the money but… that’s where their part ends taking the $$. **** doesn’t work and zero real support. You ******* suck and I’m going back to cable.

    @robinivski @ContrailsAI @Roku Yep. They are one of the worst ASC 606 sinners.

    The Netflix button is way too close to the play/pause button on the Roku remote. Pls fix @Roku @netflix

  • PokeyTexan
    SlowdownMemes (@PokeyTexan) reported

    @YouTube please fix the Jump Forward feature on your @Roku app. I don’t care whose end of the tech it’s on. I pay for three YT Premium, so that my kiddos don’t infect my feed or complain about what each other watch. I’ve told them “ give it a few days to patch it”. It’s been hell

  • StangXx

    @Roku I know my internet is down right now, but why doesn't my "live tv" app work during this? I can watch the thumbnail and TV is working, but I'm stuck on that channel cuz the app itself won't load and allow me to change the channel. This is absurd

  • hughjorgen921
    Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported

    @Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

    @TCL_USA @Roku these new updates suck! Fix it!!, now my tv just shuts off, when ever it wants!

  • MikeyBoom32
    Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported

    @Roku Roku tells you force restart, unplug and do the secret remote cache restart. None of it works because the new software sucks. If your lucky enough to not have a bricked tv you are left with just horrible service. FIX THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.Hopefully Fox will rethink the purchase

  • Dukefan11
    Inigo Montoya (@Dukefan11) reported

    @Roku I'm a minimalist. On the home screen, your recent update added several items such as "the best across your streaming services" row, "jump to" row & an add apps button. The screen now feels very cluttered. Please help me hide these. ChatGPT says it cant be done.

    HELLO CAN YOUTUBE ON THE ROKU NOT FUXKING CRASH @Roku @YouTube whixh one of ur faults is this because it happens all the time

  • crufro
    cru λ (@crufro) reported

    The issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?

  • IMFletcher2

    @BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.

  • CharlesEWirtzJr
    Charles Wirtz (@CharlesEWirtzJr) reported

    @espn and @Roku - I can’t access any content. I’m logged into all my accounts, including @Sling, uninstalled and reinstalled all the apps, factory reset the tv, but still can’t get past the get access screen. I get confirmation “success” when I log into through my phone. Help!

  • Squirdlok
    Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported

    @RepTheDMV @livenowfox Good eye. I am also terribly upset by the piss-poor quality of the breaks on the ROKU Channel. Chopped all to Hell! Does @Roku let AI run it's board? High-School rookies could do a better job!

  • stilltrynnadie
    **** Dracula (@stilltrynnadie) reported

    Low-key hate roku I hit the ok button multiple times nothing but if I so much as accidentally touch the guide button I get my YouTube video sent to the ******* backrooms @Roku fix your **** NOW

  • Ritentune
    Ritentune (@Ritentune) reported

    @Roku If you are experiencing some issues using TABLO, try hiding “Quick Access” and “Recommended Rows”. Both mess with the cache and sticking with the basic display seems to work much better. Trying to mess around with AI sometimes causes more problems than anything else!

    @Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.

    Hey @Roku @NFL you need to fix the nfl app it wont open. I have uninstalled and reset everything. Every year the nfl app is the worst app ever invented. I enjoy NFL plus but man you guys gotta make an app that works all the time for once.

    Hey @Roku I not happy right now! Tried to get an issue settled, and your AI assistant was no help. Tried to call corporate customer service, it said I might not even get a call back! REALLY!!!

    @Roku how come I can’t create an account and I only have to sign in as a guest!? what kind of stupid set up is this?

  • bobrickert
    Bob Rickert (@bobrickert) reported

    Taking out the remainder of my Amazon Fire Cube controllers @amazon I have 3 and I thought they would all work well. Tried one Roku Stick and it is a much better experience. Too much advertising and useless stuff on Fire Cube plus it never really worked that well with You Tube TV. @Roku

    @TCL_USA @Roku @RokuSupport Is it typical that bugs can crawl into your screens? any chance you can help me out here?

    @Roku Problem started July 5th I’ve tried everything, sound still works but tv screen is still like the picture above, I’ve seen on Reddit that your tvs do this to plenty of people i don’t think anybody has a fix for it yet
