    Who else is having serious lag and spooling on @YouTubeTV tonight on @Roku. No other streaming services have issues. Yes, I have restarted the app and the whole #Roku This seems to happening more and more. The service was more reliable before they started jacking up prices

    @Ask_Spectrum I noticed a bill for $115 MORE on my Spectrum. Turns out, without getting my permission, anyone can add TV services from their TV. Spectrum blamed @Roku - NOT Roku's fault! This is 100% Spectrum ALLOWING my credit card to be billed. Yo Spectrum, FIX IT!

    Hey @Roku. I had a device apparently fail. Bought a new streaming stick and there was nothing wrong with the device. Now I am thinking this is a "you" issue. Currently, I am unable to add the new device. In addition, I am able to log into my account via the Web but not the Android app.

    @Roku I need the apps I use right at the top. I need to rearrange the quick access area and I cannot. Tell me how to rearrange them. I have to scroll all the way past a bunch of stupid junk to see my apps on the order I want them in. Tell me how to fix this immediately

    @Roku To @YouTube - can you tell us how to fix this glitch please

    @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.

    @Roku I had the worst experience with Aileen in support chat. She was very rude and unhelpful. I love Roku but this is making me very unhappy. I have an overheating device and she said she had to confirm it was overheating before she could help. I mean im telling her. 😞

    @Roku Roku refuses to let me login to my HBO Max account. Now HBO says email and password don’t look right. Yet when I use the Vizio remote, there’s no problem. 🤷🏼

    @Roku you SOB, you used to have some of the most seasoned and easy to work with tech support operators out there - now you trying to be sneaky, transferring us from one dog **** clanker to another. 😭

    @DIRECTV I did the trial and I have some feedback on what would win me (and I assume others) over from @YouTubeTV. I use @Roku and the left and right buttons for changing channels instead of rewind and fast forward is the worst. Also allowing 3 streams outside but only 2 from TVs is dumb.

    @PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home. My ROKU is running software version 15.1.4 Build 3321. Yes I've restarted the unit and no it doesn't help. Your app is version 5.45 Build 3 I've cleared the ROKU cache, removed & reinstalled your app.

    @Prime_KD @Apple I think it might be a @Roku problem. I can stream on the Apple app on my phone and directly through the TV, but the Roku app crashes.

    @Roku @calvinbrain97 I have a issue with it. On several Roku’s and EXCLUSIVELY ON SPECTRUM app, the closed caption feature just stops working even though it says it ON. And it’s in ALL programs and channels on the app. WTF. I have to exit app, load something else then come back to Spectrum to fix

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Just had the worst customer service experience with ROKU. Dealt with 6-7 different reps. Each one telling a different story of why my purchased subscriptions wouldn’t work. Ranged from uninformed to just plain lazy & uninterested in helping. NEVER AGAIN!

    For years I had my elderly mother perfectly able to operate her @Roku TV. Now the software is so convoluted and dumb I can't even figure out how to fix it for her anymore. It just wants to stream everything with no antenna channels. It was fine and they broke it with software.

    @Hisense_USA Installed @Roku app to @GoogleTV U7 and when I record to existing Tablo drive, Tablo error = "CANNOT RECORD, DRIVE IS FULL". Had to uninstall #ROKU app and power all off, on to fix. Tv confused.

    @Roku Please please please, fix the PVR on my Roku 65 TV. This update has ruined it. DM me for details.

    @Roku Just bought a new stick just a few months ago, and it’s already taken a crap on me. Freezes all the time, and now doesn’t pick up my WiFi. It was fine when I first got it, now it just doesn’t work. And this is about the 4th stick that’s done this. Really terrible. Smh.

    @TCL_Global @PlayStation Turns out it was @Roku's new screen Trial. If this issue happens to you, go into TV Settings > Home Screen and disable the Screen Trial that is listed in there. Fix my issue right away.
