    HBOMax is finally on Roku. Let me know when the app doesn’t crash.

  • Archfeywarlock Amy McGrath's Dollar Shredder (@Archfeywarlock) reported

    I wonder sometimes if I sound too much like a manic pixie dream girl when I'm like my G*mestop manager wanted to inflate me and my **** dealer let me borrow his Roku but told me not to watch gay porn on Netflix but like I can't help that I have a quirky life

  • BonezLb ☃️ Holly Jolly Johnson 🎄 (@BonezLb) reported

    Dear Twitch, Please get an app on the Roku sometime in 2021 because I wanna watch my Twitch streams while I work on stuff on my computer. Thank you

  • monkeyseez MonkeySeez (@monkeyseez) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp can someone HELP with HBO Max on ROKU???? Roku isn’t responding to the issue. They said to contact you. H. E. L. P. !!!

  • Pwnacles Pwnacles (@Pwnacles) reported

    @AskPlayStation @PlayStation Please have your support teams look into compatibility issues with TCL Roku TV's - Specifically the 6-series (65R635). My PS5 crashes every game on it, but they do work on my 4-series TV.

  • Brtshgrl55 Lynn Poledna 🇺🇸 (@Brtshgrl55) reported

    Streaming Grey’s Anatomy on my Roku. Go to next episode and it says I must activate with cable provider. I get ok followed by an error they will not allow. Sparklight took over my cable and now charge extra for TV Everywhere and I am cut off in a pandemic.

  • GreerMel •MelG• (@GreerMel) reported

    .Just hooked up @Roku (luv it) and tried to continue watching the @ambermruffin show but @peacockTV insisted I watch from episode 1. compared to other streaming services, what a terrible UI & UX Peacock! Maneuvering around is painful.

  • BRADLEYWTHOMAS Brad Thomas (@BRADLEYWTHOMAS) reported

    @JonWhite17 I have a roku tv but I think it would work on a laptop

  • noone869 Noone (@noone869) reported

    @hbomax on my @Roku tv runs like ****! Slow to load, freezes up, kicks me back to the Roku home screen repeatedly, forget browsing movies “A to Z” as you get lower, the movie won’t open, screen freezes, back to Roku home screen. FIX IT!!!!

  • WanderinDreamr Helen Impact (@WanderinDreamr) reported

    Also been running into random issues with the Funi app, guys why do your roku apps have issues still

  • thepaintedman thepaintedman claus (@thepaintedman) reported

    @filmadelphia Your call, but my experiences have lead me to keep my number of channels low. I’m a ROKU brand loyalist for a decade or so now, but the lack of enough on board memory is an issue I’ve noticed, especially with certain models. Maybe Shudder has better suggestions.

  • incith Jordan 🎅🎄 (@incith) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum You can't help. I can't install Spectrum app on my Roku because of a contract issue. Tech support told us to UNINSTALL the app because we were having unrelated problems. That was when we discovered you cannot reinstall it. Are you going to credit my account for lost time?

  • jillchudson Jill C. Hudson (@jillchudson) reported

    @DIRECTV @hbomax @Roku Where the HELL is my freaking game. I pay you $260 a month to provide me with television channels. Solve YOUR problem. That what you get paid for. So changing after 1/1. You really are the crappiest cable provider

  • Stoneyballoknee Stoney thee Bologna (@Stoneyballoknee) reported

    Help. I’ve lost my roku remote

  • SeanDaveyRyan Sean Ryan (@SeanDaveyRyan) reported

    @ouchbox520 @hbomax @Roku Same here. How hard is it to build an app that doesn’t crash every time

  • lerajie666 damien almazan (@lerajie666) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp can't watch hbo max on roku. Keeps sending me back to main menu. Any help? Already restarted and uninatalled app.

  • Clickbangdead Will Tweet for Goals (@Clickbangdead) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @NFL app on @amazon FireTV on @FrontierCorp ? Says we don't have access, but works on Roku just fine. Used to work.

  • md_cohn MD (@md_cohn) reported

    @Roku To fix the audio syncing issues on every roku I own since the 9.4.0 update. At least release the latest 9.4.1.x for us!

  • mddog450 brandon ♌️ (@mddog450) reported

    Anyone having issues with @verizonfios streaming fox sports in 4k on @Roku ?

  • BobDisney4 Bob Disney (@BobDisney4) reported

    @Roku I picked up the Ultra today, got it home, and it had the standard remote, instead of the remote pictured on the box. No headphone jack or voice. Quality issues in manufacturing? That's a pretty big mess up.

  • Ben21011 Ben Twoonezero (@Ben21011) reported

    @HamillHimself TVs these days are too thin to put things on, I have a Roku stick on mine but it needs a bit of help from sticky pads.🙃

  • ComicBookCraig Comic Book Craig #UsUnited (@ComicBookCraig) reported

    @pingpongflix Hey Chris so how does that work? U pay for the Roku stick once & then u have to pay for HBOmax monthly ?

  • ShortyKatyK Katie (@ShortyKatyK) reported

    Picked up a Roku for my mom/dad. Really thought about an apple tv but the remote would never work for them. Either way at least they will be ditching there old firestick.

  • ryankirschner03 Ryan Kirschner (@ryankirschner03) reported

    @TeamYouTube We were watching sports on YouTube TV and we are having many frequent buffers every 5-10 seconds on roku. We have tried streaming on other apps and haven't had a problem. We have also checked with AT&T as we have 1000 mbps for wifi. Is it on our end or y'all's?

  • serotoningun jomi (@serotoningun) reported

    today at work i got asked if i knew where “the roku dvds” were at

  • SoulCitySigma Jason Alston (@SoulCitySigma) reported

    @Roku First @hbomax & now @GetSpectrum ? Yall are killing me, please work with these other companies. I'm actually paying more for cable/WIFI now each month than I do more essential things, so I'd like to get more bang out of that buck.

  • DaManFromNYC RobbyNYC (@DaManFromNYC) reported

    @TCL_TV_Global .my 4k looks dark always on my 4k roku tv. I've tried picture settings. No help. It look horrible whether I stream or use fios . I've tweeted @TCL_USA several times. IGNORED. please HELP

  • AnikoTevvit Ani Kotevvit (@AnikoTevvit) reported

    BTW, the design and functionality of your #Roku app is terrible. I can't see all the items, I then have to search Letter. By. Letter. Then I can't do a group add of all of certain things on my watch list, they have to be done one. by. one. Ugh. (2/2) @PeacockTVCare

  • 4oclocklibrary Fio²•⁰ (@4oclocklibrary) reported

    Avatar Roku has got to be the WORST avatar we have information on

  • Imtheicecream Bec (@Imtheicecream) reported

    I swear my phone’s roku tv remote was 100% not working for several days. But the second my boyfriend took a look to try to fix it, it just ******* worked. 🙄
