  @Roku @Roku You guys make the shittiest ******* TVs I just bought this and all it does is glitch! Piece of ****!

  @tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!

  I generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.

  @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

  Who else is having serious lag and spooling on @YouTubeTV tonight on @Roku. No other streaming services have issues. Yes, I have restarted the app and the whole #Roku This seems to happening more and more. The service was more reliable before they started jacking up prices

  @hbomaxhelp On @roku, can't get MTL-CAR hockey game. Erroneous message, "Event has ended". Have a fix?

  @BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.

  @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 ?

  Hi, I am Daniel (@bigbroncosfan) reported 19 minutes ago

  Ugh. What did @Roku do to their interface? It is unusable.

• 
  Eric ✝️🇺🇸 (@EKershner) reported 22 minutes ago

  Hey @Roku. I had a device apparently fail. Bought a new streaming stick and there was nothing wrong with the device. Now I am thinking this is a "you" issue. Currently, I am unable to add the new device. In addition, I am able to log into my account via the Web but not the Android app.

  . @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

  Just a consumer FYI!!! @Roku WILL NOT HONOR A WARRANTY. My Roku ultra will not keep connectivity. Done ALL troubleshooting. Called my internet provider. JUMPED THROUGH A MILLION HOOPS, still boots off. After all this I get told sorry, your warranty don’t cover connection issues🤔

  @Roku Please please please, fix the PVR on my Roku 65 TV. This update has ruined it. DM me for details.

  @Roku Give us Photo Streams back! Backdrop is terrible. Doesnt autostart when idle.

  @BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.

  Victor Valencheck (@blau_vic_grana) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Roku I HATE this update. I want control of WHAT I see on m6 homescreen. I have to scroll down the page past a bunch of crap to see MY APPS. Fix this now!

  Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported 38 minutes ago

  @RepTheDMV @livenowfox Good eye. I am also terribly upset by the piss-poor quality of the breaks on the ROKU Channel. Chopped all to Hell! Does @Roku let AI run it's board? High-School rookies could do a better job!

  Roman Empire (@saveusroman) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Roku fix your espn app.

• 
  Alex (@undeadunion78) reported 43 minutes ago

  @Roku This is awful. Please let me revert back to the old home screen. I've praised my Roku tv and from here on out no more praise will be had.

  @enhanced_games @Roku @ResortsWorldLV Crazy that it took you until now to announce where you’ll be hosting the games. Terrible marketing.

• 
  no, i don't think i will, thanks (@a9ymous) reported 53 minutes ago

  @Roku stop continually making the Live TV interface worse, it's one of the reasons we got this RokuTV (pause/rw terrestrial TV). and fix your subtitle support, constantly having to go back to the main menu and unselect/reselect Always On.

  Lord Sammy Gato (@lordsammygato) reported 57 minutes ago

  @Roku Wow, those changes to the app are terrible! Thanks! 👍

  @Roku How do I put my HDMI inputs back on the main screen after this terrible update?

• 
  RJ Financial Group (@businesslendin1) reported 1 hour ago

  @Roku I need help. My 3 emails are already full as you max out at 20. What’s the solution I own multiple Airbnb’s and I only install Roku TV’s.

  @foxone @Roku the foxone app runs bad on the roku. Constant errors. Error:PL--28

• 
  Jacque and Matt (@theDIYvillage) reported 1 hour ago

  @Roku Yeah, nope. Not being able to remove Live TV & Live TV Guide is a no go. Access to inappropriately aged content for kids is unacceptable. Money talks I suppose. Fix it.

  @Roku what’s wrong with the Roku Channel. Freezes and very long to load. Only thing giving any problems
