Aaron Berger (@aaron_0903) reported@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?
-
@tonywhaley@mastodon.world (@tonywhaley) reported@tagesschau Please fix the Tagesschau Roku app in the US! Viewers can't watch Tagesschau in the US. I've tried calling NDR in Hamburg to fix the problem, but they couldn't help.

EriePop⁷🌈❣🖤 (@ErieP0P) reported@gagaoolala The subs still aren't working on the roku app either & it crashes when I try to fast forward. I contacted you all about this last wk & still not working 😞
-
Justlivingonearth (@Justlivingonea2) reported@Roku Roku refuses to let me login to my HBO Max account. Now HBO says email and password don’t look right. Yet when I use the Vizio remote, there’s no problem. 🤷🏼
-
DeluluDad (@BagLampPillow) reportedFix: 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.
-
RoughTradeRadio (@RoughTradeRadio) reported@walt_stachura 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."

Dannics (@DANNICSX) reported@rokudoesnothing @SpaceSama @gekiko_bathory Thank you Roku. I agree. dialing things back to drama doesnt solve things. doesnt matter from whom.i just got riled up and apologize. i hope others actually involved and knowing more who dials what can be of rightious help for both being this awful situation.
-
Harvey Jackalope (@HarveyJackalope) reported@AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.
-
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.
-
Mike.🇨🇦🇳🇱🚛🚚HonkHonkSpeakToMy🥑Avocado🥑 (@MikeP77Doglover) reportedI'm currently watching the YouTube algorithms rebuild my profile. I just got a new Roku, didn't sign in but they're pushing me stuff that's narrowing down who I really am based on the information they have. Very interesting.
-
Alan Hartland (@harty2you) reported@Roku hi, I live in the UK, I have a Roku streaming stick I bought in November 2025 from Tesco. I have had no problems with it until today. I am not able to use BBC iPlayer app. I have done all the resets but still not working. All other TV apps are ok ?
-
Jim Golis (@jimgolis) reported@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.
-
Varsity 38 (@CBW556) reportedAnd 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.
-
we_are_disappointed (@disappointedAF) reported@OGCrimsonJester Just caught Big Trouble last night on Roku.
-
TtMarie (@mkeuplvr) reported@paramountplus has the absolute worst customer service?I have ever seen in my life.I startED Paramount+ with the roku channel. They asked me for my debit card and started charging me two accounts and despite proof keeps saying nothing they can do! give me MY MONRY BACK!!!!
-
Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedFor years I had my elderly mother perfectly able to operate her @Roku TV. Now the software is so convoluted and dumb I can't even figure out how to fix it for her anymore. It just wants to stream everything with no antenna channels. It was fine and they broke it with software.

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.
-
A Shubert (@ashubert) reported@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.
-
Alan Hartland (@harty2you) reported@Roku well done , my HD Streaming stick is now getting BBC iPlayer that has been unavailable for the past few days. Obviously a major Tech problem.
-
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.
-
Nic (@LilNic000) reportedHey @DisneyPlus, why are subtitles not working today? First, I tried this week's episode of #OnlyMurders, then I tried the first episode of series 2 of #HighPotential, and neither had any subtitles. I'm in the UK and using a @Roku stick to stream. #Accessibility

G.P. (@zerochill13) reportedCrunchyroll has the worst roku app ever. At this point they are better off not offering it at all
-
Adam Billmann (@AdamBillmann) reported@Verizon hey, why does my home internet default to a different location then I’m at? I cant get my @watchfoxone to work correct because it’s giving me Chicago as my local news, not Milwaukee! How can I fix this? I updated my correct address on @Roku
-
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
-

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
