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)?
-
Tells, MBA (@tdotcade) reported@Roku Disney Plus isn’t working on my Roku Ultra. Hasn’t been for over a week. Fix this.
-
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
-
((MS__no__nothing)) 👨🦼🎗💙🔯 (@msnonothing1) reported@roku What is wrong with your VIAPLAY app? It works fine on my Fire TV. FIX it, or cancel and refund my money. DM for details.
-
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. 🤷🏼
-
(Rebəl) Shane (@Smoke3x) reported@Roku your @espn app is STILL screwed up! Y’all need to fix it!
-
chinedu🦀 (@chinedu_10) reported@Roku is there a reason why your devices stopped connecting to WIFI? And is this a regional issue? I could connect to the Hotspot on my iPhone. But I can’t connect WIFI to the device. I’ve tried multiple WIFI from different ISPs.
-
EriePop⁷🌈❣🖤 (@ErieP0P) reported@gagaoolala The subs still aren't working on the roku app either & it crashes when I try to fast forward. I contacted you all about this last wk & still not working 😞
-
DogPerson! (@dog_person20) reported@Prime_KD @Apple I think it might be a @Roku problem. I can stream on the Apple app on my phone and directly through the TV, but the Roku app crashes.
-
drewisgod6372 (@Andrew94722910) reportedSomebody help me find the Roku remote
-
Ask Spectrum (@Ask_Spectrum) reported@Xavier__Gregory @Roku I'm sorry for the trouble with our TV app. I'm not aware of any changes that should cause that to stop working, but if you will please DM us we will be happy to investigate further. - William
-
Melanie Morgan (@MelMMorgan1) reported@fuboTV @Roku @AskAmex Amex, fuboTV and Roku will not cancel my subscription. They each say via bot chat that the other has to do it. But no one will. Can you just block payment? Or where/how can I get help to cancel my subscription?
-
MDV (michael delvecchio (@Mdvecchio1) reported@Roku staying in a rental with a roku tv. Absolutely awful quality and user experience. This brand is toast lol what a piece of ****
-
Roger Pollard (@RogerChrista) reported@hulu_support I have 1G internet using a @Roku Ultra. It’s not an internet or device issue. Like I said, it’s ONLY on this channel and ONLY for games, not regular programming.
-
Scott (@revscottd) reportedOur @Shentel internet has been out all day. That means no cable tv (because they stream it now), no phone (because our home phone relies on the internet) and @Roku tv’s have to have internet so the app to watch over the air antenna tv can work. 1/2
-
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.
-
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.
-
The Mosquito (@URNTRBL) reportedI have no pictures on any @NBCSports @nba on my @Roku right now. All other apps work!
-
Kevin Stern (@Atherworld) reported@DisneyPlus Your Roku TV App won't work. Anything I try to watch comes up as a black screen. I can see things when fast forwarding/rewinding, but playing is a black screen. I did not just renew for the month to not watch your programming you know.
-
[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.
-
Ken Brown (@Ken_Brown_FL) reportedHey @hulu_support I am unable to log In and your chat folks actually hung up on me. I have not moved yet your app says I have. I do not have this issue with any other app on @Roku . #customerservicefail
-
Richie (@RichiePuregains) reportedDon’t ever buy @Roku theyre making junk that’s overpriced significantly. Every tv I have their POS products to use for @GetSpectrum has problems. By problems I mean everything they have including the most basic functions frequently do not work.
-
April (@MsWolfe8) reported@Roku Idk what is going on with this stupid TV ive only had a year! But I come home and all my streaming apps are gone and when I add them back Its giving me a error message!!!!!!! Never again
-
Varsity 38 (@CBW556) reportedAnd that turns CC ON for EVERYTHING. Switch from @DisneyPlus to @hulu ? Congratulations! CC. Because one had to turn on CC in the Roku TV settings instead of the show on @DisneyPlus Again, completely idiotic First World problem.
-
✨imtamikalee ©™ (@imtamikalee) reportedThis is such an inconvenience especially for the money I paid. I contacted customer service so assistance only to be rerouted to get tech help with a fee. I googled if this was normal and there are SO many complaints about TCL Roku tvs blackscreening!
-
Pathfinder 5.1 (@_brannonburgee) reported@Roku BACKDROPS is THE DUMBEST **** EVER!!! Just a ploy to help someone sell batteries…💯💯💯😡😡😡 END IT!!!!
-
Lmn (@lmn071966) reported@Roku Please fix the live tv issues
-
. (@InfraCards) reported@YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.
-
Sarah with an h (@SarahDoesKC) reportedThis is a total first world problem, but I lose my mind that it takes 12 minutes and 85 clicks to finally get to the show I’m trying to watch and one accidental step of my dog to wind up on Roku Greatest Hits.
-
Bryan (@Bry1527) reported@Crunchyroll @Roku Hey is there a way to fix the Crunchyroll app on Roku tv?? It's been saying "session expired. You've been logged out" for weeks. I can still use my account no problem on every other device like normal.
