    @Fightincowboy @Crunchyroll My back button isn’t working anywhere on any Roku remote. Multiple TVs with the same issue. @Roku

    @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 😞

    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

    @ReelzChannel Having streaming issues tonight? Can’t get past black pickup truck search. Restarted @Roku got to same place and locked up again.

    @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

    I'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.

    What’s the problem @directv with logging into my account for my @Roku ? The login hasn’t changed as in password until you’ve stated otherwise in my several attempts to access through my Roku. Further makes no sense since other TV/Roku in household is ‘up’ right now.

    Bro @Roku I hate you I tried turning the brightness up on my tv but now its pitch black and I can’t ******* fix it what ******** #rokusbiggesthater

    @Roku You have the worst customer service ever. What a crap company.

  • popespeed
    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)?

  • bgoertz08
    Ben Goertz (@bgoertz08) reported

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

  • twchristensen
    Todd (@twchristensen) reported

    Dear @Roku @rokuone I have been nothing but a fan and advocate, until now. Your last update is atrocious. I don’t know who your UX/UI team are or what they were thinking, but they got this all wrong. I could not be more unhappy. You turned one click into 3 or 4. How could that have ever been your goal? Who approved this? It’s just absurd. I will be looking for alternatives because that’s how bad you’ve broken this. And don’t think I didn’t notice that you continue to jam Howdy down my throat. I have deleted it every time, why would you continue to force us to have that channel when we say we don’t want it? It is clear to me that Roku no longer cares about what the customer wants - the death spiral of just about every company that has ever existed. You ruined a good thing. It is going to have unforeseen consequences, starting with me. Unless, of course, your goal was to shed users. All five of my TV’s will be turned over to another streamer by end of next week as I do some research. What a shame.

    @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?

    FYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA

    @Roku hello, whatever forced update that was just received by my Ultra just bricked my device. Factory reset not working. Error 023.4. “Reset to factory settings” fails. Any suggestions?

    @Roku I had the worst experience with Aileen in support chat. She was very rude and unhelpful. I love Roku but this is making me very unhappy. I have an overheating device and she said she had to confirm it was overheating before she could help. I mean im telling her. 😞

    @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.

    @Roku when do you think you'll get this audio issue figured out? getting real annoying to have to stop and restart because of the audio glitches

    Bro is Hulu not working in anyone else’s Roku tv? Ts pissin me off. @hulu_support @RokuSupport

  • devinbgoble
    Devin Goble (@devinbgoble) reported

    Gee, thanks @Roku. Randomly today we get hit with hdcp errors on a setup that has worked fine for years, and the solution is just to move to a different hdmi port on the TV. You are the reason why people pirate.

  • HarveyJackalope
    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.

    @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.

    @Roku Just bought a new stick just a few months ago, and it’s already taken a crap on me. Freezes all the time, and now doesn’t pick up my WiFi. It was fine when I first got it, now it just doesn’t work. And this is about the 4th stick that’s done this. Really terrible. Smh.

  • Primetime_TB
    Primetime 📺 (@Primetime_TB) reported

    Finally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.

  • MAGAPureblood86
    PureBlood86 (@MAGAPureblood86) reported

    @Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,
