  They have systematically taken away our ability to reach our audience, taken away our discord, our YouTube, our Twitch our Patreon, our PayPal, our Roku channel constantly has problems, our Dlive glitches out, they did this right before Christmas.

  I know it's the first worldest of first world problems, but my Roku tv keeps changing its settings and I'm losing my mind. Periodically resetting my wallpaper was one thing, but now the captions are suddenly weird and I can't seem to change them (I've tried, they won't stay)

  I have just given a crash course in how to use a TV and new Roku device to my parents... that was a challenge.

  Welp, worst TV I’ve ever owned just died on me after 2 years. 2 years of non stop glitching and random restarts. Cheap *** Roku TV.

  @Bristol_Travelr @DylanW419 NASCAR has this, it was poorly advertised. NBC Sports Gold @_TrackPass aired every East, West and modified race live, non-FS1 ARCA races live, local stuff (the World Series from New Smyrna was great) and the Pinty's Series (delayed) for $20, broadcast quality on my Roku TV app.

  @superwuster The Roku allows you to use an iphone app to control the TV. So yes, I would say so! Plus remotes have a terrible UX. People get phone apps and the keyboards are soooooo much better.

  Hey @HBOMaxHelp I’m so excited you guys made it to @Roku but you need to fix it. App is constantly crashing.

  @RealBenGilbert I’m actually having the opposite problem in that it glitches SO much on my laptop but is seemingly fine on Roku? But yes it’s been very frustrating! HBO Now used to do this too :/

  @worleygirl @hbomax @Roku One of the worst tech rollouts of all time 🤡

  Finally broke down and bought a Roku I forgot I can use my xfinity login to watch TV live and for free don’t have to buy another box

  @TyFromMN I have Roku and I believe Peacock is still working out a deal to get on Roku. It's the same issue with FSN. I can't unlock FSN through Sling or YouTube TV. This hockey season may stink to watch the Wild. smh

  @HighspotsWN @MadKing1981 Do you think you’ll ever fix your Roku app? It’s honestly unreal how broken it is.

  @cassieroma Honestly I think Apple needs to take a leaf out of Rokus book.. they have a button on the roku box and activates a beeping to help you find it! I’ve lost our Apple TV remote so many times lol

  HBO Max runs *terribly* on my barely two-year-old TCL Roku TV, which otherwise runs apps just as well as any other Roku device does. Anyone else running into issues? I'm talking straight up hard crashes/freezes, regularly.

  @NicolleDWallace MSNBC has technical problems. I stream with Roku and Amazon Fire. If it gets to bad, I watch MSNBC on my laptop. For some reason, I don’t have trouble on my laptop.

  @Roku I am not allowed to sign in to my @hbomax account. It keeps taking me to get a subscription, but I already have one. I sign in but whenever I attempt to watch anything, it prompts me to subscribe.

  @Ajaababy No the app is slow on mine too I think they need to fix some glitches since it’s a new channel on the roku I thought mine was the only one tripping lol

  @elitmik Thank you. I have an older Roku and this didn’t work. Shameful that AJ is censored despite alerting the public to #Epstein & other big news years ahead of MSM. #repeal230

  @RokuSupport my 3900x Roku express is having streaming issues & I’m unable to watch anything. I know wifi isn’t the issue because I have another Roku farther from my router and it works perfectly. Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  @Crackle_TV Is there a Roku channel activation workaround? Process fails w repeated attempts and get-new-codes. Is there a hidden direct username/password login option? #Crackle

  @Roku I would be much happier w/my #Roku if @RokuSupport would answer my DM & emails. They say “ok, we’ll help you” then disappear. Has been going on for 3 weeks!

  @slinganswers @HostedByKJ Hey CG. I'll bring this to your attention until it's fixed. At the top of the hour, when the guide data changes. The picture goes black for 2 seconds, dumps the buffer. When the picture comes back, the next show has already started. Please fix this. Roku 50 meg down 20 up. Wired

  @nowtvhelp Thanks, when using a browser, on my laptop it’s Microsoft edge. I can’t sign in either via my Roku stick

  @hbomax @Roku Cool story. Now work out a deal with LG, the 2nd-largest TV manufacturer in the world.
