  Inigo Montoya (@Dukefan11) reported 1 minute ago

  @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.

  @ojkoj @Roku *Exact* same problem with all my HDMI inputs, I have three consoles and it started after the recent update. I thought my TV was going bad. Someone suggested going to the input from the Nav menu rather than the button on the home screen. I will try that tonight.

  @Roku It’s terrible for people with vision issues. The icons are too small. It was better the way it was with the large icons

  I wish you two, @Roku and @Crunchyroll could work it out that I could watch my subscription when I'm away from home and my Roku t.v. Letting me watch on smartphone.

  I have had it with @Amazon Fire Stick. I have a subscription to Shudder and Starz. I can no longer play them without buying a new subscription thru Amazon. I have a @Roku TV upstairs and have no issues playing my subscriptions. Today I ordered another Roku controller for downstairs. Shame on you Amazon. Bye fire stick. Just warning anyone who is thinking about fire stick.

  @Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now

  @Roku had to sign into @AppleTV AGAIN. This is what I see. It’s the correct password. Only option is to exit out and do it again which gets me to same blank screen. It’s always Apple that I have issues with.

  Wicked King (@StangXx) reported 23 minutes ago

  @Roku I know my internet is down right now, but why doesn't my "live tv" app work during this? I can watch the thumbnail and TV is working, but I'm stuck on that channel cuz the app itself won't load and allow me to change the channel. This is absurd

  Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported 24 minutes ago

  @Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

  @AgentAmish @FrndlyTV @Roku I agree. It’s been over a year and I’m not experiencing anything better with frndly. In fact lately I’ve been having problems with guide accessibility. And they just updated the home page with smaller icons and filled with suggestions I don’t care about and they’re in my way

  @Roku having subtitles issues continuing into 2026 on streaming services is enough of a reason to move to another platform. The UI is great but come on, it’s been years now.

  @Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE

  @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Most TVs today are purposely not built to last. The industry decided long ago to stress quantity over quality.

  @Roku your new Home Screen layout is dogshit fix immediately

  @Chrisg19722015 @Roku It sucks! Don’t fix what’s not broken 😠. I agree 100% Chris!

  @Roku FoxOne on the Roku Channel does not work; Fox apparently cannot stream the games to Roku. It isn't Roku's fault, but why am I paying $20 a month?

  @Roku @Ka_Le_Jo How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!

  This is why I'm so pissed at @Roku and one of the examples i gave in my posts another multi billion dollar company that somehow can't get a website to work right yet has millions in testing hardware or at least millions available to test the site before rollout but thats too hard

  @ThePriorityPod @Roku I can view my ROKU camera live but the events give errors and won't show In other apps, after a few hours it goes back to the home screen. They really screwed up all the devices apparently

• 
  Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reported 39 minutes ago

  Wow - this new @Roku Home Screen update they forced on everyone is one of the worst technology “upgrades” ever. Lost the ability to customize the Home Screen - and they added a lot of apps no one wants, that you can’t remove. Horrible decision - the customer is always last…

  Exactly what millennia Are you worthless *********** going to fix the ******* @roku software in my ******* @TCL_USA @Roku TV so that I don't have to ******* redo the ******* wireless connection every ******* time I turn the TV off and back on. I've been ******* tweeting and ******* putting this complaint on the ******* website for three ******* years you worthless *************.

  @Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for. It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.

  @TucsonBlonde @Roku Amen. If you can't find soccer without Roku's help, you need to be placed in assisted care.

  @Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.

  @Roku You should be concentrating on making your site work. The app doesn't work & your website doesn't work either

  @Roku It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. I should be able to arrange my home screen the way I want to.

  The issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?
