  • dilliard_ed Eric Dilliard (@dilliard_ed) reported

    @hbomax none of my Roku devices will play any content, I push play and the screen just flashes……all other streaming services work, just not HBO Maxread somewhere this is a known issue but going on 3 days now and wondering if I should cancel my service since it’s of no use atm

  • AlyssaBunday Alyssa b (@AlyssaBunday) reported

    Why are Roku TVs the absolute worst

  • Soulrific Nikki (@Soulrific) reported

    @hbomax Fix your app on Roku!

  • Soulrific Nikki (@Soulrific) reported

    Ah, so the workaround to the @hbomax on Roku is to sign in online, click the 'Access all of HBO Max', then go to the Roku app and it starts playing.

  • KEP832 KEPandME (@KEP832) reported

    @PBSKIDS we're having a recurring issue. Audio loading with o demand videos, but not the video itself. Using TCL Roku tv. It's only one year old. Nothing is working with troubleshooting. Any advice?

  • maroyasha Aaron/Mayo (@maroyasha) reported

    @TimmyTurntup_ @XenoMLee Remember, Roku is the worst avatar.

  • Kpholmes74 Kevo (@Kpholmes74) reported

    @tj_morrison714 @NBATV You can get a streaming-only deal with xfinity that includes ATTSN. No box, just gotta have a Roku or similar that can use the xfinity stream app. Doesn’t work on Apple TV unfortunately. No contract like cable cause there’s no hardware. So you can add it and remove at will

  • nat_fitz1 Nathan Fitzgerald (@nat_fitz1) reported

    @onesoccerhelp @WhaleyStatic He's correct. Using Roku, if you go to OneSoccer the main channel is (STILL) playing Lille vs Angers - rather than One Soccer Today. Or the Nations League match. But I can see the scheduled programming using my phone. But I don't want to watch on my phone. When will you fix?

  • JaySherwood26 Matt (@JaySherwood26) reported

    @nbc all of your Roku apps crash when opening. I’ve been trying to use @BravoTV for live tv for weeks and it doesn’t work. Any plans to fix these?

  • tysonbrody tyson brody (@tysonbrody) reported

    Interesting (and apparently common according to google) glitch on Roku TV - it won’t let you play any “age restricted content” on the YouTube app, so my nearly 70 mom can’t watch Jimmy Stewart movies I put on her YouTube account. Weird neither google nor roku want to fix this?

  • KristyRae70 One-Eyed Kristy Rae 😉 (@KristyRae70) reported

    @CordCuttersNews Is there any processor difference between the Roku Express and the new Roku Express 4K+ that just came out? Just bought the cheap Express at Walmart and it has lag issues on HBO Max and Netflix. I'd upgrade if there is any processor difference.

  • starfishncoffy literally why (@starfishncoffy) reported

    Hbo Max isn’t working on my Roku TV I have had a stressful *** day I just want to watch Hacks or even Friends or The Nanny but it won’t work 😭😭😭😭

  • caitpilksmith Caitlyn Smith (@caitpilksmith) reported

    @hulu_support Hey, I already tweeted you guys last week, and they said it might be a larger issue with Roku. It just doesn’t load. And it crashed on our smart TV last night too. Too many issues!

  • iamboogie Dr. Lauren Dixon is also Dr. Bae (@iamboogie) reported

    @Gwenda Oh man! Roku is special. If you haven’t, check for an update. I did that last night and a lot of my issues were solved. Fingers crossed!

  • reneebr39550086 Renee Brown (@reneebr39550086) reported

    @roku thank you for your assistance In not helping restore my replacement device. You treat people less than human especially when tell customer service it’s STILL not working. #unkind to #Mankind

  • mistymills Misty Mills 🎥🐇 (@mistymills) reported

    @RokuSupport Every time we start an episode of any show on Hulu on our Roku, it has no sound until we rewind it. How can we fix this? Started with the last update.

  • btocher Baxter Tocher (@btocher) reported

    @WeAreSTV Any news about adding sign in on Roku? Or are there no plans?

  • SynthSMedia M.D. (@SynthSMedia) reported

    in a matter of 24 hours, my roku express has disconnected from the router and now doesn't even pick up it's signal. BOTH roku express models have this issue. What did you guys do?

  • PhilDavisSC Phil 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸⚛️🍻☕️ (@PhilDavisSC) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I get the problem on two separate Samsung Smart TV apps, as well as two different ROKU devices.

  • TheDiorHomie Mr. Damn, Double Homicide (@TheDiorHomie) reported

    @tntdrama do you ever plan on addressing this issue with your app on Roku? Its been over a week now and i cant watch NBA playoffs

  • mikeyil mikey (@mikeyil) reported

    There's a home reno show on the Roku Channel where they fix up a murder home for the owners. Like, people live in a home where people were previously killed. It's like true crime meets Trading Spaces. It's so weird.

  • MILESAWAYLIVE xoxokenzie 🌻 (@MILESAWAYLIVE) reported

    @untanglemebside The roku abc app never lets my provider work 😭😭😭

  • Stephen_Gross23 Stephen Gross (@Stephen_Gross23) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp trying to watch The West Wing on your app on my roku and been having issues for about an hour and a half. App kept restarting. Watched one episode, now can’t get more than 10 seconds into another episode without the app shutting down completely

  • ZackOnTheRadio Zack Williams (@ZackOnTheRadio) reported from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

    Yo @HBOMax @HBOMaxHelp ... nothing works. Press play, it goes back to the main screen or errors out. On both Roku Premiere and Roku TV

  • nat_fitz1 Nathan Fitzgerald (@nat_fitz1) reported

    @UncleDall @onesoccer What app are you using? They seem to be running 2 hours behind on Roku. Android and Windows are working. Not sure why they don't fix it.

  • amandakelley91 Amanda Kelley (@amandakelley91) reported

    bought a new roku yesterday & everything is streaming REALLY slowly or not at all and the picture quality is horrendous across the board - is there some kind of trick to better streaming on this thing? my internet is hella fast & this didn’t happen to the one I set up in the past

  • chris_caa Chris D (@chris_caa) reported

    @tysonbrody I had the same thing happen and only solved it by staying signed into my gmail/google account on the Roku YouTube app. Maybe that'll help?

  • reverendentity Harbinger Entity (@reverendentity) reported

    Curiously, has anyone else had a problem with the #HBOMax app on Roku not playing any content? I have reset the connection, uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled, and it won't play anything.

  • ShadaKaDjo Lady Jai (@ShadaKaDjo) reported

    @SWForce4EU I have the flex whatever but it doesn't work. I put the app onto my roku in order to use it.
