Foolishfools (@Foolishfools1) reported@Roku @AppleTVPlus I just started enjoying Roku because of the Wierd Al movie. It was great. Scanning through the selections I see many things I'll come back to and view. Why is 1981 Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin - Death Hunt movie not the movie that comes up when it is selected? Fix this please!

Old Hag (@tooancient4this) reportedWhy do all of my @philoTV channels work on my @Roku except for the @hallmarkchannel Seems fishy that all three Hallmark channels stop and I get kicked out to the Roku homescreen but all other Philo channels play.
-
Ross (@EdTechCaniac) reportedThe @CanesOnBally app on Roku is really, REALLY, bad. Why TF if I’m watching pre-game do I have to stop it, and switch to the game? And the same for postgame. And those can’t even be queued to start automatically. Terrible interface. Do better, Bally.
-
One Voice Media (@onevoicemedia) reported@NBA please fix your @Roku channel app for League Pass. It has worked perfectly for years and the update this season has been MISERABLE! It often takes 10+ attempts to get a game to load. Many times games will just drop with no warning. Unacceptable!

Corey Peart (@coreyjpeart) reportedIt is absolutely impossible to stream @cbs on an @roku. Login to cbs and always get a playback error and can’t stream the Ga vs Ky. Login into cbs sports, have cable and paramount login and it says it can’t stream this game. Login to paramount and says can’t be found. Maddening

Owen Baxter-Derro (@OwenDerro) reported from Toronto, Ontario@BlissWallpaper Walmart in the mall I work at is the exact same thing. They had a skid full of Black Friday RCA 32 inch Roku smart TVs for $98 one year & I witnessed them keep moving another pallet full of them with their equipment frequently. Yours sounded much nicer though!
