    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Just had the worst customer service experience with ROKU. Dealt with 6-7 different reps. Each one telling a different story of why my purchased subscriptions wouldn’t work. Ranged from uninformed to just plain lazy & uninterested in helping. NEVER AGAIN!

    @TCL_Global I will never buy one of your products every again because of the garbage @Roku does. i should not need to connect to the Internet to make changes on my TV. Absolutely terrible. I paid $1000 for my TV, I should have comple control of it. Never again.

    I generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.

    Gee, thanks @Roku. Randomly today we get hit with hdcp errors on a setup that has worked fine for years, and the solution is just to move to a different hdmi port on the TV. You are the reason why people pirate.

    @Roku i've never had a problem with roku, had to reverse a Cable one time and that was it, and I love the new voice remotes that are rechargeable, only issue I've had is with Disney not being able to click on it and it comes on says can't login from your area error 43 error 83

    @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...

    @thatoneguychaz @FOXSoccer @Roku Fox One is a hot mess. They seem to have blown it on capacity planning. A Grok survey of complaints confirms the issues are multi platform. Roku has a 100 million user base so they are going to get mentioned more than others, but it's cross platform. If there's something roku can do to help fix thst would be great though. The games on Fox over the air have worked just fine. This is when having a $40 Walmart antenna or even better a Tablo antenna tuner/dvr is helpful. The problem is they seem to have 37 games scheduled for streaming only.

    @Roku @FRANCE24 Your channel on my Roku TV is not working. France24 channel. One of my go-to channels.

    Hey @Roku update your TVs. My Roku TCL TV has been consistently having issues displaying anything connected to an HDMI port!

    Dear @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.

    @CordCuttersNews Great! I will make sure after I throw this POS TV down the stairs that I never buy another @Roku TV again. Every update makes my TV more useless and unusable. Can't wait! 😒😑

    @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.

    Anyone else while watching #wrestlemania after a commercial break, it goes back to the beginning of the match that just ended or just a different part in general! watching on @Roku fix this, I'm tired of fast forwarding, then watching another 4-5 mins of ads then back to Mania!

    @BioMathJason @Roku @TCL_Global Yes, that's the way it is supposed to work, and has worked for the 5 years I've owned this tv. TCL did an update the early part of this year that removed the ability to watch OTA without internet. They did send a fix for most customers after the backlash, but many are still twisting in the wind. Their LiveTv is the culprit.

    @PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home. My ROKU is running software version 15.1.4 Build 3321. Yes I've restarted the unit and no it doesn't help. Your app is version 5.45 Build 3 I've cleared the ROKU cache, removed & reinstalled your app.

  • Cakefacethedad
    David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported from Rome, Latium

    Dear @Spotify and @Roku , It has come to my attention that @Google is regulalrly attacking my Roku streaming device. The first time I installed a Chromecast in the house, my Google Play functionality immediately disappeared from my Roku player. I was forced to use the YouTube app, but could only see movies I had purchased, no TV shows. Recently, I tried connecting the Chromecast to our new wifi. It said I needed to donload the Google Home app to change the wifi, so I did. From that point on, anytime I watch a podcast on Spotify, the video will not work. None of this is a problem on my phone, sitting in the same room, usung rhe same accounts on the same wifi. The common denominators here are me installing or updating something on my Google Chromecast and instantly having a major, negative change to my Roku streaming box. How is this legal? Why is Google allowed to attack my Roku player and disable functionality from other apps?

    @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. 🤷🏼

    @Roku Your captcha is garbage, your website is garbage, and I've tried a dozen times to recover my password but keep getting looped back to your goddamn captcha. Please fix your garbage!
