-
Inigo Montoya (@Dukefan11) reported@Roku I'm a minimalist. On the home screen, your recent update added several items such as "the best across your streaming services" row, "jump to" row & an add apps button. The screen now feels very cluttered. Please help me hide these. ChatGPT says it cant be done.
-
Mitch (@MizNizzle) reported@hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.
-
chelsea (@whataboutwaldo) reportedWhy is @Roku customer service the worst
-
Fletch will return in Avengers Doomsday (@IMFletcher2) reported@BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.
-
RaiderNeil (@Rdrneil) reported@Roku i've never had a problem with roku, had to reverse a Cable one time and that was it, and I love the new voice remotes that are rechargeable, only issue I've had is with Disney not being able to click on it and it comes on says can't login from your area error 43 error 83
-
Smigman (@Smigman1) reported@Roku ROKU got rid of their community support forum. Their TVs are now like the rest. When buying my next one, it will be which one has my apps and which one has the best price and picture quality. The support forum was a huge plus. Goodbye Roku.
-
Countrygirl (@Country2018gal) reportedI've been watching movies on the @Roku . The last 2 never showed the ending but immediately went to the next one in the app. What gives? I may stop watching those movies, if it continues to do that. Anyone else have that problem?
-
Osondu Esonwune (@OsonduEsonwune) reported@Roku I have done all but still the same problem
-
Jon P (@BamaGrad00) reported@roku The new home screen is awful
-
Maya Belle (@cblanknyc) reported@Roku But no help with unauthorized payments? I was charged nearly $270. Can’t you do better than a one month refund? Please?
-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reported@Roku I hate it and will replace and purchase a non Rolu. New screen is awful!
-
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.
-
Matthew Smith (@MattSmithFOX13) reported@KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.
-
Travis Lausch (@lauscho1) reported@RaceCanada_ca @TSN_Sports @Roku (realistically, I'm guessing there was some kind of error and one that was actually expertly quickly fixed... but still, that damn near made my heart stop)
-
Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported@Roku Nevermind. Not only do you refuse to help, but you completely reformat the home screen to “suggest” 20 different apps or shows and only show 1/3 of my installed apps so I have to search for them. You’re useless. **** off. Buying Firesticks Saturday.
-
alex (@alexsears97) reported@FehInsane @Roku Happening to me too. This update was terrible
-
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.
-
Mary (@Fogatmidnight) reported@Roku Ghaaa......What did u do?! Update bad! Please don't fix what is not broke. Let user decide! 2 nights in find organize LOCAL ANTENNA channels, renam lil tile, now it's GONE! 😱 Where is it? Want on home screen! Hisense Roku TV
-
Geoff Meador (@geoffmeador) reportedOur @Ask_Spectrum outage has lasted all morning and USA vs AUS is coming up, so I just switched our @Roku TV to OTA antenna… except, in the most idiotic decision imaginable, watching antenna TV on Roku apparently requires a working internet connection now. 1/2
-
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.
-
mmmhmmm (@bleezy_db) reported@Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.
-
court (@allherdanger) reported@Roku I did a system restart this evening and it seems to have fixed the problem! 🫶🏻
-
MrRamone420 (@MrRamone420) reported@Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers
-
Ritentune (@Ritentune) reported@Roku If you are experiencing some issues using TABLO, try hiding “Quick Access” and “Recommended Rows”. Both mess with the cache and sticking with the basic display seems to work much better. Trying to mess around with AI sometimes causes more problems than anything else!
-
Mario Banda (@largemarge707) reported@Roku just got home from work, sat down to watch the game on Peacock. But guess what. Your stupid widget had the France Spain score displayed. One of the last few world cup matches left to watch and your stupid home screen ruined it for me🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
-
Meredith Porterfield (@meredithep) reported@Roku @foxone I don't want to watch FIFA but I would like to watch other apps and would appreciate it if they actually worked on Roku. I have no problem with the apps on other devices. Just Roku
-
Kelly Jones (@skjones_65) reported@Roku your latest software update / redesign is quite bad. Is the intention to slow our devices down so we'll have to buy new ones? Please revert to the way it was or modify so our devices will not be so slow and almost unusable. New does not equal better.
-
Damian (@Damian08993101) reported@DeadCarnival @Roku It’s crazy how @Roku doesn’t realize that a clean interface is their one best quality. I am tired of having to turn off the same unwanted features over and over again. And with the latest crappy update, I’m stuck with a lot of junk that can’t be turned off. Awful.
-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reportedThis new @Roku Home Screen is awful! How can I opt out? Put it back , new upgrade is horrible.
