    @cgarber8 @dotsonc I've been having no issues on Roku since March 31st. And it's not exactly a new Roku either.

  • NoLayupsDG No Layups Disc Golf (@NoLayupsDG) reported

    Is DGN working for others? I can watch it on YouTube but it's not working on DGN for Roku or Chrome. It's saying it's off air. @DiscGolfProTour

  • freerangejane Jane McDonnell 🟧 (@freerangejane) reported

    @hulu_support looks like my mobile and iPad have been removed from my account and I can't access; works fine on Roku and Mac. Seems to be a known issue on community board. What's up?

  • cgarber8 Chris Garber (@cgarber8) reported

    @dougdirt24 @dotsonc Doesn’t work for me on Roku, either. There’s a minor league game of the day but no Reds affiliate.

  • MsRobinHosking robin 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) (@MsRobinHosking) reported

    @traceyburgess82 @Channel4 @RokuSupport I’ve sent channel 4 an email about it. My other Roku channels work.

  • jcpinzino JoeyPi (@jcpinzino) reported

    @dolfan650 @NESN @MLB I paid for 5 Roku devices for my house and Apple TV doesn’t work on it.

  • andrewferrone Andrew Ferrone (@andrewferrone) reported

    Hey @Roku, I recently bought a Streaming Stick 4k. I have connected it to a Vizio TV. I have set up the device successfully with TV controls. I have put the player into Guest Mode. Whenever I sign out of Guest Mode, the device resets and the TV controls no longer work. Help!

  • WaimeaWitch Proud Nasty Woman (@WaimeaWitch) reported

    @bluegal Mahalo, but the #FireTVStick & @Roku remotes (Fire TV remotes have too many more issues to list!) are too small & inadequate for tape - tried & failed. Why should I spend $$$ to make their product more user-friendly? They should adapt for customers. #ARGH

  • chatternottz Jay Bassline (@chatternottz) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Hiya LS, it seems to be back on my TV which is through the ROKU device, not working on Android still code 72.. Looks like good progress 🫡

  • derbybandit NickyO (@derbybandit) reported

    Those of you using @Roku tv for the 1st time and have error code 005, save yourself the headache and connect Via MOBILE HOTSPOT to update the software! Wired/home internet wifi connection dosent work! Only Mobile Wifi will solve the problem. You’re welcome!

  • Andy_Beebe Andy Beebe (@Andy_Beebe) reported

    @fangsbites Just trying to help, Ken. Not sure which channel on Roku.

  • IOHFTB Casey R (@IOHFTB) reported

    @sbren1969 @NHRA I am having the same issue on my Roku. Did like you, power cycled the Roku, no change. Am now watching on my PC without issue.

  • ClemsonSports Clemson Sports (@ClemsonSports) reported

    @RickEBrownJr @ClemsonInsider You need to use ESPN's App and a login from your TV provider. It's on Roku etc.

  • SD_Ash14 MBC Fresh ✨ (@SD_Ash14) reported

  • billyrod30 William Rodriguez (@billyrod30) reported

    @hulu @hulu_support please try and figure out why hulu is not working on roku tv devices

  • sympathyorawe Ron (@sympathyorawe) reported

    when your @TCL_USA tv won’t connect to the internet, yet it says has great signal, and every other device in my house is connected to wifi, and the tv still gives you an issue even with a router restart. wtf is going on TCL/roku?

  • fuboTV Fubo (@fuboTV) reported

    @Canucks_BlueJay Thank you. We couldn't replicate this issue on our end. Using your Roku remote, please click the Home button and go to Settings > Network > Check Connection > Ok. On the right hand pannel you will see the Internet download speed, please send us a screenshot of the results. -MC

  • Blake_C137 Blake_C137 (@Blake_C137) reported

    @Belthasar19 @moricalliope I don’t know about websites, but I use the Roku apps for SmartTvs and HiDives is much better than CRs. I’ve never had issues with it, while CRs looks like it was made with Windows 95. VRV was actually the best but CR scrapped it after the Funi merger when they should’ve switched

  • Hope_incarnate Midgardsormr’s #1 Fan (@Hope_incarnate) reported

    Looking up at the sky, do you think roku tries so hard to protect people and take blows for them bc he cant heal so he wouldnt be able to help them if theh did get hurt....

  • radicalrylee ry (@radicalrylee) reported

    i think a trip to roku city would solve all my problems

  • NtaganzwaDesire Ntaganzwa Aime Desire (@NtaganzwaDesire) reported

    SVB was taken over by FDIC in the second largest bank failure in American financial history.A big problem: SVB holds cash deposits of large tech companies. For example, Roku holds 26% of its cash with SVB. 1/13

  • jstn128 Justin (@jstn128) reported

    @FOXNOW the foxnow app on Roku is by far the worst app on the platform. Error after error after error. You'd think that a company like news corp would have the resources to produce a quality app. I guess they are spending their money on spinsters like Tucker instead of investing.

  • mikelellcessor Mikel Ellcessor (@mikelellcessor) reported

    @Roku Your customer support function on your site does not work. I have a charge that I do not recognize and it's not possible to reach you through your site. Please dm.

  • expresscarpetca Xtreme Carpet Care (@expresscarpetca) reported

    @vrbo on Roku.We spent a lot of time, trying to help them, even using FT video. The guests got so frustrated, they decided to check out after only 3 hours. They never canceled with vrbo. They left a one star review, & now they are asking vrbo for a refund. We believe it’s unfair

  • George_Girgis23 George Girgis ™ (@George_Girgis23) reported

    @RokuSupport How do I get a replacement Roku remote? The battery life on the remote is terrible, even when it's not being used. Have to replace the batteries constantly.

  • creativeworldx e. (@creativeworldx) reported

    The secret screen hack on Roku is not working for me & I don’t understand why because I’m literally pressing all the correct buttons
