    @TeamYouTube @AllInFunTx You didn't address regional Fox sports. He was saying the problems didn't start with Roku. Price hikes, removing good channels for useless ones. You're becoming cable.

    Damian (Not the Omen) (@Damian_Griffin) reported

    @YouTubeTV You guys can't own and control everything. This deal is on you. Your service is already so-so. Make it work or you'll lose this subscriber and hopefully will be broken up down the road. #Roku

    I’ve about had it with @YouTubeTV’s bait & switch pricing increases. Now they can’t work out a deal with @Roku? Get it together @Google & stop being a bully.

    @YouTubeTV @TeamYouTube Urging you and Roku to work out an agreement, for the sake of your loyal customers. This is very important to me.

  • jodymy
    Jody Myers (@jodymy) reported

    @Roku Please work out an agreement with YouTube TV to keep the app on your devices. I’ll be looking to replace all of my Roku devices with Apple TV should I lose access to my primary streaming service.

    @Roku, work this crap with @YouTubeTV out! @YouTubeTV - DO THE SAME!!! People just want to relax & take a break from the BS this world throws at us, not get messages that you two entities can’t play nice in the sandbox. Get over yourselves or I will move on from you both.

  • BradSebek

    @YouTubeTV I would really hope you fix this...this is 100% on YouTube and google. If you aren’t on Roku why would I keep my subscription.

  • BrettWhitmarsh
    Brett Whitmarsh (@BrettWhitmarsh) reported

    @Roku @YouTubeTV OK you two. I get it. Now fix it. It took me months to teach my elderly mother how to do YouTube Tv on a Roku. She finally understands and we just cut her cable bill. Now she’s freaking out. So enough with the emails and blaming the other one and fix this.

    @Tscoutelas @YouTubeTV @Roku Does YouTube not work on a Roku TV?

    Roku is having issue coming to terms with a streaming service I am shocked

    I don’t know who’s at fault between @Roku and @YouTubeTV but fix it!

  • mikenie1
    Mike Nie (@mikenie1) reported

    Now @Roku has removed the YouTube TV app from the app store. This, after they removed the Spectrum app. Doesn't seem they can work with anyone. Maybe @Roku is not the platform to settle on.

    .@YouTubeTV @Roku FFS... I don't care which one of you cheated first. I don't care which one leaves the cap off the toothpaste. I don't care which one has problems emoting. I just want you two to work it out. Please. - your child (customer)

  • guitarcoder

    @maxschmeling This particular issue is between Roku and Google. But still, it's disappointing. I cancelled my cable subscription almost 2 years ago when I first got YouTube TV. Now... I guess I'll just not watch sports. /shrug

    @Roku Can’t remember the name, but it was on @YouTubeTV . Fix it..

    @BravesAmerica @YouTubeTV I cancelled YouTubeTV when they dropped the Braves, but Roku easily has the worst interface of the big 3 (Roku, Firestick, AppleTV)

  • ChimaneHelder
    Chimane Helder (@ChimaneHelder) reported

    @Roku I will be selling all 3 of my almost new huge Roku TVs if you remove YouTube TV. I’ve had enough of your bs. You’re getting too big for your britches. You take off this app, that app, won’t work with this or that app. Enough.

  • SignorRavelli
    Dave Z (@SignorRavelli) reported

    @YouTubeTV We upgraded to newer Roku devices specifically for streaming YouTube TV. It is Google and Roku that needs to work out an agreement. How dare you lay this BS on the consumer. Stop the greed, make a deal and get back to respecting your paying customers.

  • lcboley
    Lee Boley (@lcboley) reported

    @YouTubeTV You are the problem not Roku. You are forcing Roku to provide searches based on the content you want not what we the user wants. Read the agreement people. This is Google flexing muscle to force their content. Fix it YTTV or I am done. Also bring back Regional sports.

  • nataliexxme
    Nats (@nataliexxme) reported

    I don’t feel like @Google should be telling us to tweet @Roku to fix things when negotiations are a two way street. That @Google is just as much to blame for YouTubeTV probs. Maybe changing streaming service altogether would solve it too.

  • BriceBonner

    @PrimeVideo your app for Roku is terrible

  • KimBollinger6
    Kim Bollinger (@KimBollinger6) reported

    @YouTubeTV please fix your agreement with Roku. I have all Roku devices and will be forced to select a different TV provider if you don’t support Roku.

  • noletagal
    Lauri Baker (@noletagal) reported

    @Roku think lease do not delete the YouTube TV app. If you do I will be forced to throw away all my Roku devices, telling everyone I know why! @Google get your **** together and stop monetizing my info without my permission! Work it out.

  • JessCamNJ
    Bowser Jr’s Mom (@JessCamNJ) reported

    I’ve spent the last hour trying to get my Roku tv to turn on with the app because my lovely child chewed on the remote so much that it won’t work. Worst thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of owning.

  • inkjetpowered
    Gestault (@inkjetpowered) reported

    @YouTubeTV As this issue is only coming up here, it seems likely there's an unintentional/unacceptable element in those original terms that Roku wants to address and Google/YouTube is trying to exert pressure to keep it in. The innuendo here seems immensely slimy on YouTube/Google's part.

  • Huf4Huf

    @NDChief12 @Roku @YouTubeTV Totally, have 4 Roku TV’s solely bought for YOuTBUe TV. Fix it

  • h_thoreson

    @SlagOffTwits I think YouTube wins this one... I ordered a Roku not long ago and ended up returning it because it turned out something I already had from Comcast does most of the same thing, and connects to the stuff I actually want (HBO, YouTube, Amazon, Netflix) without issue

  • TheRealTotin
    Matt Totin (@TheRealTotin) reported

    @Roku and @YouTubeTV let’s work it out, there are millions of rocky users who don’t want to lose access because you multi-billion dollar companies don’t want to lose too much money...

  • davidgaw
    David Gaw (@davidgaw) reported

    @YouTubeTV Your disagreement with Roku isn't really my concern—but if you don't work out your differences before I have to reinstall your app, I'm going to switch to one of your competitors. Hulu + Live TV seems interesting.

    @RokuSupport you & @YouTubeTV need to get your heads out of your behinds and work together !! Come to a compromise and leave YTTV on the ROKU App!!! Why should we have to suffer for this hot mess!!!
