    @roku @YouTube problem with private listening on iPhone app. If you get a call, or switch to IG for a minute, anything that requires sound, YouTube will pause and then when you close whatever that app is YouTube resumes but automatically restarts the video from the beginning.

    the new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.

    @mrhappybw @Roku Boooo. Thanks for the intel. And, well, sigh. If I wanted to go through all the hassle (with no guaranteed fix), I’d just as soon start using a different brand if I have to log into everything again 🤡 These tech companies really are entirely out of their minds

    @oletruckers1977 @Roku I certainly hope they have a problem with alt-Right hacks.

    @Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.

    @Roku What the HECK did you do to live tv pause? There is no way to fast forward and see where you are in the program. You’ve literally broken the best feature of having a Roku TV.

  • MeetYouAtMoes
    Moe's Place (@MeetYouAtMoes) reported

    @theblaze Please tell me why your app on @Roku has CONSTANT buffering problems. It's the only streaming service I have that does this. Every show, every day, I have to back out of the live show and come back in every 10 to 15 minutes because of buffering. It's making all the shows I dearly love completely unwatchable. Please respond, or I'm going to have to cancel, because there is just no point paying for this.

    @roku now it turns out that if I don't have internet I can't watch broadcast TV. What a terrible system, I'll never buy a TV with Roku again.

    @TCL_Global I will never buy one of your products every again because of the garbage @Roku does. i should not need to connect to the Internet to make changes on my TV. Absolutely terrible. I paid $1000 for my TV, I should have comple control of it. Never again.

    @Roku Ghaaa......What did u do?! Update bad! Please don't fix what is not broke. Let user decide! 2 nights in find organize LOCAL ANTENNA channels, renam lil tile, now it's GONE! 😱 Where is it? Want on home screen! Hisense Roku TV

  • lauscho1
    Travis Lausch (@lauscho1) reported

    @RaceCanada_ca @TSN_Sports @Roku (realistically, I'm guessing there was some kind of error and one that was actually expertly quickly fixed... but still, that damn near made my heart stop)

  • Squirdlok
    Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported

    @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!

  • jaketomberlin
    Jake Tomberlin (@jaketomberlin) reported

    @Roku I’m a long-time Roku fan, but this latest home experience is terrible. It’s so bad I’m considering Apple TV. Please roll it back to the last version or give users the option to do so.

  • MrScottFletcher
    MrScottFletcher (@MrScottFletcher) reported

    @Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.

  • BATZMANZ
    Brandon (@BATZMANZ) reported

    @Roku Give us Photo Streams back! Backdrop is terrible. Doesnt autostart when idle.

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

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

    @RhondaShear @Roku I cannot find a single thing about Up All Night. Please help.??!!!

  • MrRamone420
    MrRamone420 (@MrRamone420) reported

    @Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers

  • northroadcreate
    NorthRoad Creations (@northroadcreate) reported

    Why isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!

    @roku The new home screen is awful

  • SpangleAngler
    🎣 (@SpangleAngler) reported

    @Roku If the playback speed on Roku TV for U-Tube videos suddenly stopped working and that feature is no longer even available (it once was), is that fixable through Roku support or is that @YouTube who would fix it? Our family's TV used to have playback speed options but now doesn't

  • 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.

  • ItIsPatsyStone
    Patsy Stone (@ItIsPatsyStone) reported

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

  • cblanknyc
    Maya Belle (@cblanknyc) reported

    @Roku I just lost my job & started poring over every dollar going out. That’s when I found I’d paid $269.78 in monthlies for ESPN. Which I didn’t order & never watched in my life. Cancelled but could only get a month refund. I should’ve noticed, but didn’t. Please help.

  • allherdanger
    court (@allherdanger) reported

    Idk wtf Roku did but every time I'm paused too long now it doesn't go to the screensaver I have set up, it goes to a Roku thing and then I can't get out of that screen without going to the home screen first?? FIX IT @Roku and don't you dare blame me, I checked my settings

  • oletruckers1977
    Rick Mclane (@oletruckers1977) reported
