-
Stepford Diana (@StepfordDiana) reported@Roku You've removed the option to cancel a paid app subscription on the new homepage I need help
-
Jerry Young (@xprezJerry) reported@Roku This is possibly the worst update in recent history. I have disconected my ultra and using the built in Vizio apps now, that is how bad it is. Looking for better solutions elsewhere #roku
-
Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported@Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.
-
NorthRoad Creations (@northroadcreate) reportedWhy isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!
-
HockeyDad2A&Z (@HockeyDad2AandZ) reportedHey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.
-
Abnormal Accrual (@bbm010) reported@robinivski @ContrailsAI @Roku Yep. They are one of the worst ASC 606 sinners.

cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reported@Roku PLEASE HELP
-
tac0ghost 👻🇺🇲👻 (@tacooghost) reported@Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.
-
burownidl (@burownidl01) reported@Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE
-
Sasha :) (@hldmydk) reportedSince when is the Roku remote app behind a paywall? My remote is broken and I can’t turn down the volume or turn off the TV and I don’t wanna pay $8.99 like are yall crazy ? 🤨 @Roku
-
Red Chem (@red_chem_lite) reported@SophiRene1 @Roku The dogs have Kongs with peanut butter and cheese, they have puzzles, they have toys and treats. They don’t touch the remote when we’re around. I put the remotes up when I’m done. This isn’t really a dog problem It’s a somebody else in my house doesn’t put the remote up problem.
-
Heather O'Brien✍️ (@RealHeatherOB) reportedI have no idea what anyone else thinks, but @Roku's new Home Screen adds are awful!! There is NO way to remove the adds. All they do is clutter up the screen. I've used Roku for over a decade. Bought several, including for others - just loved them. Now? They're so annoying, I may need to find an alternative. It's just not for me. And they don't even let me "hide" them. Not cool. I neither need nor want all this junk.
-
Sydney 👑 (@LoveMyFFAJacket) reported@Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku please fix your data on live tv. Several streams show NO DATA AVAILABLE. It’s frustrating not knowing what you’re watching or when something you might want to see is coming on. This problem didn’t exist before. Get the info back please. Thank you
-
Rhymes with funky (@KirkYuhnke) reported@MatthewKeysLive @Roku Problem is... finding an actual "dumb tv" is almost impossible anymore. The business model for TV companies has shifted. They don't make $ when I buy the TV anymore.
-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reported@Roku I hate it and will replace and purchase a non Rolu. New screen is awful!
-
Andrew Staten (@AndrewStaten) reported@TCL_USA @Roku So, is there really no way to go back to the old home screen UI? I don't get why companies feel the need to change things that aren't broken. More often than not, they get worse with new UIs.
-
steve (@steve48717445) reported@Hisense_USA @Roku Apps will just crash. Don’t get a Hisense. I have to get a new tv
-
Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reportedWow - this new @Roku Home Screen update they forced on everyone is one of the worst technology “upgrades” ever. Lost the ability to customize the Home Screen - and they added a lot of apps no one wants, that you can’t remove. Horrible decision - the customer is always last…
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@LeetOffice @Roku Someone just posted this How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!
-
Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported@Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for. It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.
-
A Howard🛩 (@ahoward7652) reportedDon’t buy a @Roku TV. Support is terrible. TV worked perfectly for 30 days then starting have echo with optical and built speakers on. Did everything support told me to do no luck Now they ghosted me! All I want is to have it replaced.
-
Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) reported@Roku UPDATE: I was proven wrong! The Roku TV in question suffered from a software bug, one that the company is aware of and is in the process of fixing. A small number of TVs experienced the glitch, and the company is working to address it. Roku's terrific customer support restored my faith in the company, and I'm so glad we don't have to replace this TV!
-
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!
-
CKAKRK (@CaitlinKazarian) reported@Roku your support sucks. It says it’s an agent but it’s just AI. Sent multiple screenshots and the “agent” didn’t even bother to open. Sick of paying for subscriptions that I can’t use on my tv. No one is of any help. Done with Roku and being charged for things I can’t access!
-
sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reportedthe new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.
-
Fletch will return in Avengers Doomsday (@IMFletcher2) reported@BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.
-
Doc Myers (@JDMyers77397139) reportedI wish you two, @Roku and @Crunchyroll could work it out that I could watch my subscription when I'm away from home and my Roku t.v. Letting me watch on smartphone.

shane✌️👍 (@shane_grand1) reported@Roku The new home screen is terrible..switch it back
