    This 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!

    @Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,

    @Crunchyroll Please fix your **** on Roku. Why does my show keep playing even when I turn off my t.v? Also why can’t I skip intros and outros??? You know people just FF those sometimes right???

    @walt_stachura @slinganswers Same. Later in the evening I got: "I was able to confirm with our team that this is a known issue with Roku devices. Our Engineers are working on getting it resolved as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

    And 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.

    @hulu_support @Ann_Elyse Not having any issues with Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Peacock, Tubi, freevee, etc. Just checked with a friend who has YouTube TV. No issues there. Might be time to switch.

    Why is the MASN app broken on Roku? Why is streaming TV so terrible... And we used to complain about cable boxes ... @Roku @masnOrioles

    @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...

    @Roku @RokuSupport NEED HELP! - My subscription support ticket (#13949322) was escalated but I haven’t received any updates. Can someone please check the status and advise on next steps?

    @hulu_support Network error message. Streaming on @Roku TV. Settings indicate I’m connected with excellent signal strength.

    @Ask_Spectrum @Roku funny the last rep I posed this to hadn't heard about this problem. My brother was going nuts & pressed every button & found out you guys moved it. It's now the 10 second rewind button. So never mind. But you can add this bit of knowledge to your repertoire.

    @AppleTVPlus I signed up a week ago, through my Roku. The Last Thing He Told Me (except the first episode) and Shmigadoon refuse to play. I get a "We're having trouble, check your internet" message but I can watch Trying with no issue. What's the fix? #help

    @russ998 @Thrones_Facts I buy the cheapest Roku TV’s that Walmart/target sell in their respective sizes, and I did not have any issues seeing what was happening.

    @Ask_Spectrum is there a problem with the spectrum app on Roku and the cell phone?

  • BagLampPillow
    DeluluDad (@BagLampPillow) reported

    Fix: On my TCL Roku TV whenever I would turn a movie on Disney+ it would turn to a dark almost black screen. after I went into Picture Settings, turned the Backlight down from 100, it worked.

    @Roku Disney Plus isn’t working on my Roku Ultra. Hasn’t been for over a week. Fix this.

    Jason Burns (@jasonburns76) reported

    @DisneyPlusUK hi there, is there still a problem with your systems? I tried for 4 hours to cancel my subscription and was sent in circles by @Roku and Disney. Eventually a member of staff on your online chat told me to try later because he couldn't get into the system.

    @TVMoJoe Roku TV, and I've had the same issue on Fire TVs, I suspect maybe only Apple is overriding whatever wonky code is happening in Peacock (because it's not just me)

    @hulu_support Well, my hulu live is 3 hrs behind on both ROKU and the HULU app on my LG TV. But the app on my phone is good. What's the problem?

    Hey @slinganswers any ongoing issues that might explain why I can't stream to my Roku, both iPhone and laptop work just fine? Rebooted everything, signed out of all devices, no joy!

    @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!

    Have 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

    Oh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?
