    @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.

    Hey @slinganswers any ongoing issues that might explain why I can't stream to my Roku, both iPhone and laptop work just fine? Rebooted everything, signed out of all devices, no joy!

    @Fightincowboy @Crunchyroll My back button isn’t working anywhere on any Roku remote. Multiple TVs with the same issue. @Roku

    I'll NEVER buy another @Roku TV. Mom's is 8 years old and it was fine. Turn it on, it had all her channel numbers on antenna. Recently it's "updated" with no channel numbers, no way to just have antenna channels, and she wants to replace it because it's "broken". Garbage product.

    @Roku @jjscomedy Roku, we shouldn't have to connect to the internet to watch OTA channels. Please fix this. If there is an internet outage, which does happen, then Roku users are screwed from even our local OTA channels.

    @Mickultra12 @comcast @Xfinity I don't seem to have a problem with connecting but I have to unplug the Roku every day - then reactivate it and then plug it back in - Very strange. 🤔

    @DisneyPlus Your Roku TV App won't work. Anything I try to watch comes up as a black screen. I can see things when fast forwarding/rewinding, but playing is a black screen. I did not just renew for the month to not watch your programming you know.

  • SarahDoesKC
    Sarah with an h (@SarahDoesKC) reported

    This is a total first world problem, but I lose my mind that it takes 12 minutes and 85 clicks to finally get to the show I’m trying to watch and one accidental step of my dog to wind up on Roku Greatest Hits.

    @peacock seriously needs to fix their subtitle problem on @roku. The subtitles just drop off and stop. I tweeted about this years ago. Luckily I am not hard of hearing but for people are, they cant watch the movie/show!

    @Crunchyroll is there anyway you guys can fix the roku app cuz it blows chunks

  • HarveyJackalope
    Harvey Jackalope (@HarveyJackalope) reported

    @AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.

    @Verizon hey, why does my home internet default to a different location then I’m at? I cant get my @watchfoxone to work correct because it’s giving me Chicago as my local news, not Milwaukee! How can I fix this? I updated my correct address on @Roku

  • popespeed
    austin bb (@popespeed) reported

    @Sling on @Roku Sling channels with scoreboard inset (e.g. ESPN), the Roku "*" function button does not work (to bring up menu to adjust brightness/other settings). Have to exit to a different channel before I can adjust settings. Is there a fix (or way to disable scoreboards)?

  • MelMMorgan1
    Melanie Morgan (@MelMMorgan1) reported

    @fuboTV @Roku @AskAmex Amex, fuboTV and Roku will not cancel my subscription. They each say via bot chat that the other has to do it. But no one will. Can you just block payment? Or where/how can I get help to cancel my subscription?

  • TwittaElite
    🤔🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ (@TwittaElite) reported

    Contacted @RokuSupport last week after their own service (@TheRokuChannel) stopped working properly. A week and a half later, it's still not working. So glad I don't have a subscription through the Roku Channel or I'd be upset.

    Never mind a 3 hour #SmackDown whatever is going on with @verizon or my @Roku TV. I can't get rid of this damn playback error. I even did a whole damn factory reset to my TV and still getting error code PLYB_122 for over a month. My TV is BARELY 5 years old.

    @Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,

    (3) left hateful messages in my VM. I looked up the legit number , called @Amazon and they handled my problem quickly . Also, my friend said his mom experienced same last week trying to call @Roku and was scammed out of hundreds of $.

    @hbomax @HBO please fix your @Roku app. I shouldn’t have to hunt for the show I’m trying to finish binging! Also “continue watching” doesn’t need to feed me the previous episode that I just finished #bemorelikenetflix

    @hoichoitv I'm living in USA and purchased an annual membership. I am not able to see any pictures of new movies and series on my @Roku TV. I can hear only the sound. Free episodes/ trailers are working well on my TV. Please solve the issue asap or else refund my money.

    @LMDhusky2023 @discoveryplus @FIAWEC Discovery+ isn't stable on the Roku either. It simply does not adjust bandwidth ever; I proved it on the PC with some technicals and Discovery's answer was "use tethering on your PC to force it into mobile mode." Which a) won't work and b) what ********?
