-
Imani Drayton (@imanidrayton27) reported@gcanderson57 @PlutoTV @Roku I'm using a Hisense Roku TV and mine does the same thing you've mentioned. I pretty much did everything reopened the app, restarted the TV and neither of those things worked. Like I said it could be the app that's causing the problem.

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?
-
B (@shortbumble22) reportedTrying to change the batteries in my @Roku remote for the first time. Except there is a lip at the bottom of where the batteries go, I am sure to help prevent them from popping out on accident...BUT HOW THE HELL DO I GET THEM OUT ON PURPOSE.

Dr. GigaDad, PharmD, BCPS, BCEMP (@Shayne_McKee_) reported@enhanced_games @Roku @ResortsWorldLV Crazy that it took you until now to announce where you’ll be hosting the games. Terrible marketing.

𝕯𝖆𝖑𝖙𝖔𝖓 {ł₮'₴ ₵Ⱨ₳Ø₴; 𝕓𝕖 𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕕} (@daltagnan_) reported@TCL_Global @PlayStation Turns out it was @Roku's new screen Trial. If this issue happens to you, go into TV Settings > Home Screen and disable the Screen Trial that is listed in there. Fix my issue right away.
-
John Tanner (@Lordofdeath14Xb) reported@Roku hey guys if you could fix your ******* app every time when I'm listening to music on my phone through the app it disconnects so how about you guys get off your *** and fix the ******* app thank you.
-
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)?
-
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @CBSNews what's going on with the CBS News app on @Roku . Only a few videos in the main area, Sunday Morning area has no videos, lastest eps of 48 HRS and 60 Minutes not loaded. Please fix. #CBSNews #ROKU
-
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.
-
Courty (@NascarSTARlite) reported@hbomax @HBO please fix your @Roku app. I shouldn’t have to hunt for the show I’m trying to finish binging! Also “continue watching” doesn’t need to feed me the previous episode that I just finished #bemorelikenetflix
-
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.
-
xxx (@xxyumhaj) reported@PrachiR46315213 Mein kisi ko Kiu Roku I haven’t seen any post like that, and as I said, idc about Hania, diljit or the film. I found your statement to be dumb so that’s why I quoted your post, you should’ve been clearer about what you meant if you have a problem with me questioning it
-
Sean N.🔫 (@dsean) reportedI've already done all of the troubleshooting suggestions. None have worked. The only device your service has an issue with is a Roku stick 3600X on a Starlink network. Every other app works fine. It's just the Hulu app that has performance issues. And by that I mean the video and audio on both live and DVR'd shows are out of sync and usually crash after a few minutes (if that). The workaround is to go to a different TV or to use a different app - i.e. use Disney+ to watch shows because it works there but not on your app. A recent example is the new Librarians show. Works fine on the TNT app using Hulu's login (though I have to sit through ads). Completely unwatchable on the Hulu app. Barely plays off the cloud DVR with out of sync audio and crashes the app every 2 minutes or so.

Atul K. Verma (@atveusa) reported@Roku your streaming stick is not working and I can’t find a way to return it. Your support page is asking to speak with someone but the number is not connecting. Not a good support model I see
-
Rodrigo Torres Muñoz (@rodritorres_81) reported@DisneyPlus I'm havig this issue several times now, I't started with @Roku devices and @Roku Tv's at home saying we were not in the same household that I should update my household, so I logged off from all devices, nothing same problem 1/2
-
Jason (@ManuteSwol) reported@Roku Are you guys having some kind of outage? One of my devices failed to update... I factory reset it and now cannot add Apps. Your web site says there is a known issue. How about an update?
-
Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedI'll NEVER buy another @Roku TV. Mom's is 8 years old and it was fine. Turn it on, it had all her channel numbers on antenna. Recently it's "updated" with no channel numbers, no way to just have antenna channels, and she wants to replace it because it's "broken". Garbage product.
-
Brittney (@hope_britt) reported@DIRECTV & @Roku rcount your days! Why would you allow a customer to sign up via Roku and thru your services for the same exact product. Why tf would i sign up for the same sorry *** service twice! & for @Roku not to issue refunds after I’ve been charged twice is crazy
-
redheadgrl🍂 (@redheadgrl04) reportedLet’s see if @Hulu will actually work today. I dunno if it’s on their end or @Roku but all week I’ve had problems.
-
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
-
Lmn (@lmn071966) reported@Roku Please fix the live tv issues

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
-
MrScottFletcher (@MrScottFletcher) reported@Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.
-
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @Roku Why did you mess up the main menu? Now I've got a bunch of stuff, I don't want, that I have to scroll through to get to my apps, and I can't remove or move them. Also the app icons are smaller? Seriously? Fix this, please, and stop messing with our menus. #Roku
