Ren (@ren_tragger) reported@ComradeEevee I've seen a couple of slides on hulu, but mostly it has been within my tolerances. Perhaps they fixed it or the roku app just happens to work.
-
SynRen (@SynRen) reported@Roku I brought a brand new Roku TV on 07/05/24, now it does not work. It has a black screen. I called Roku and did all the troubleshooting, and they said the hardware is dead. I think they should replace their defective product. Yet it says it should last 5 years minimum.

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
