Works just fine on a Roku device with the same cable, i’d say your product has a problem. Not to mention all of the other flaws. But that’s just ridiculous. Stick with Roku everyone. Or even Chromecast tbh

@TeamYouTube Thats not the issue. The same tv when using yttv app through a Roku stick or Apple TV gets 5.1 on the same channels that the native Samsung yttv app does not. There seems to be an issue with the Samsung yttv native app as others point out all across Reddit

@Ask_Spectrum awesome that the Roku isn’t allowing the spectrum app to work. Not even working on my phone. Perfect timing for an NFL football game.

I can tell Mercury retrograde is ending because I can’t get the dang work Roku tv to work. It keeps randomly going back to the home screen.

@hulu_support I’m having horrible buffering issues on the ESPN+ feed of the NFL game. No issues with live Australian Open tennis or any recorded problem. I’ve restarted my internet browser, Roku, uninstalled and reinstalled Hulu. Nothing works. Please help. I’m in ZIP 75023

@sidneypegula I haven't had any problems with my Chromecast Sony TV or Roku, but the Fire stick I was using it seems to fail a lot or show a blurry picture. Also make sure you watch it using the 720p or 1080p The Progressive and best for sports.

@johnny_whistle I apologize for any level of frustration this may have caused you. Roku is a 3rd party device that does not pertain to Spectrum. If you are experiencing technical issues with Roku, we recommend contacting them directly. -CA

@By_the_Charles @ZanePaul1 If the rabbit ears ever give you trouble, a couple of other options for local are STIRR on Roku, or an HDTV antenna connected to Roku.

@jammajunk @Roku And does it have YouTube, Hulu, PlutoTV, Paramount+, Disney+, Netflix and Twitch services? Also, my TV doesn't have bluetooth capabilities and only has HDMI ports. Would it work with that?

@alyankovic @erockappel @CriticsChoice Hey Al would love to watch the film but as Roku basically isn't a thing here in the UK the website doesn't work in this "region". Highly annoying, I'd love to watch it before I come to see you play in march.

@hotstarcanada why is your video quality so bad on the Roku app? There is great content that we want to watch but regrettably it cannot be watched because of the substandard quality of video. Please solve this otherwise we will need to rethink our subscription. Thanks!

So basically Disney said y’all can’t watch us on a Roku…why tf not?!? I’ve had a Roku and fire stick and the Roku has always given me less problems. But now I gotta pay extra to use Disney+ on it. What’s the reason🤨 @DisneyPlus

@wahl_kathaleen Amazon fire stick and Roku have several apps available for classic TV shows. You can usually get one for 30$ and the good thing is you never see a cable bill, they work on the same wifi most people already use to get online with all their other devices

@karin76707095 @DC_Draino @kimguilfoyle I tried Roku five years ago but my internet was so lousy, it wouldn’t work. I still have the old stick.
