    @Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.

    @Roku one of your updates completely crashed my Roku brand TV. Any support tips? This seems to be a common issue in recent weeks.

    @Roku I did that. Didn't help. Many People on Twitter had same issue with Paramount Plus.

    @paramountplus @Roku @RokuSupport Paramount Plus support already told me they can't help, I just paid for a subscription and it won't connect

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

    @Roku hello. I need help repairing a remote with my Roku. I have followed instructions online, but it’s not working.

    .@NFL @Roku app is repeatedly crashing this morning. HELP! 🏈

    @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.

    Hey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.

  • JoeKimray
    Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reported

    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…

    Why is @Roku customer service the worst

    @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!

    This new @Roku Home Screen is awful! How can I opt out? Put it back , new upgrade is horrible.

  • acme1265packers

    @Roku The problem is that Roku is getting a kickback for recommending shows that no one watches, plus we already know what they are going to watch.

  • UnfinishedOwl

    man, @Roku has absolutely destroyed my TV. almost totally unusable

  • ghfrost3
    George H Frost III (@ghfrost3) reported

    So I pay for a subscription on @Roku payment goes through they get the money. Subscription does not work. @Roku is good at taking the money but… that’s where their part ends taking the $$. **** doesn’t work and zero real support. You ******* suck and I’m going back to cable.

    @roku The new home screen is awful

    Hey @Roku @NFL you need to fix the nfl app it wont open. I have uninstalled and reset everything. Every year the nfl app is the worst app ever invented. I enjoy NFL plus but man you guys gotta make an app that works all the time for once.

  • redneckleeusmc
    Lee 🇺🇸 (@redneckleeusmc) reported

    @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.

  • Gundament
    Kris G. (@Gundament) reported

    @Roku Hey can you guys fix a bug on your new Home Screen? When you click on the inputs from the home screen shortcuts, we are getting a green and blue lines all over the screen. But when we click the Inputs from the "Input List" tab, they work fine. Please fix in the next update.

  • imken24
    Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported

    @Roku Nevermind. Not only do you refuse to help, but you completely reformat the home screen to “suggest” 20 different apps or shows and only show 1/3 of my installed apps so I have to search for them. You’re useless. **** off. Buying Firesticks Saturday.

  • rables73
    Rob Ables (@rables73) reported

    @MLB can you please fix your streaming app for @Roku and Apple TV so they don’t suck? EVERY SINGLE game I watch on ANY of my streaming devices stops at least 3-4 times per game with spinning circle of death. No other apps have buffering problems on my 1GB line and mesh WiFi.

    I'm hearing @roku is too ****** to handle the 4k that the race was recorded in. Is that the issue?

    Since when is the Roku remote app behind a paywall? My remote is broken and I can’t turn down the volume or turn off the TV and I don’t wanna pay $8.99 like are yall crazy ? 🤨 @Roku

    @Roku fix everything about the new OS! I mean why is the only option on quick access to remove something!? Why can't they be moved? What the heck!?

  • Mare_Loch
    Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported

    @Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?

  • Hyper_59
    Mike (@Hyper_59) reported

    @Roku you guys and whoever you have working over there are awful for releasing a tv software update and taking away home screen customization. I have a tv imput that i’m not using anymore (HDMI 2) and I can’t delete or hide it like we used to be able to. 😤🙄

  • imken24
    Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported

    @Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.

    Anyone else having an issue with their @TheCW on @Roku ??? It keeps crashing for me

    @Roku ROKU got rid of their community support forum. Their TVs are now like the rest. When buying my next one, it will be which one has my apps and which one has the best price and picture quality. The support forum was a huge plus. Goodbye Roku.
