    This is why I'm so pissed at @Roku and one of the examples i gave in my posts another multi billion dollar company that somehow can't get a website to work right yet has millions in testing hardware or at least millions available to test the site before rollout but thats too hard

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now

    @Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.

    @Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.

    @RokuSupport @Roku paying for your home monitoring service but your Entry Sensors have been out of stock for TWO YEARS. Frontline support has no answers. I need an escalation manager to contact me about hardware availability. This is a security system, please help.

  • redneckleeusmc

    @Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for. It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.

    @Roku FoxOne on the Roku Channel does not work; Fox apparently cannot stream the games to Roku. It isn't Roku's fault, but why am I paying $20 a month?

    @Roku This new Home Screen is terrible

    @DeadCarnival @Roku It’s crazy how @Roku doesn’t realize that a clean interface is their one best quality. I am tired of having to turn off the same unwanted features over and over again. And with the latest crappy update, I’m stuck with a lot of junk that can’t be turned off. Awful.

    @Roku Problem started July 5th I’ve tried everything, sound still works but tv screen is still like the picture above, I’ve seen on Reddit that your tvs do this to plenty of people i don’t think anybody has a fix for it yet

    @red_chem_lite @Roku My yorkie used to chew and we got bitters spray. That helped her a lot. Now she only chews on her toys. My other dog the bitters spray didn’t work as well but he eventually grew out of the chewing phase after a year or two. Maybe try the bitters spray on the remote cover?

  • TucsonBlonde
    TucsonBlonde 🇺🇸💙🌊 (@TucsonBlonde) reported

    @Roku So about that redesign…how about you stop repopulating my Quick Access section with crap I don’t want/have after I’ve removed everything I don’t want or use? You’ve done it THREE TIMES NOW, and I don’t appreciate having my time wasted as I go back in and delete everything but my YouTube App, which is all that I use on this TV! section with yet more channels I have never used, and shoved YouTube back to the end, again. later. So how do I fix this PERMANENTLY? You can put whatever you want to after the YouTube app, but It’s MY interface, you give us the option to customize it, and while it’s not life ending to have to click several times to get to what took 2 clicks before, it’s very aggravating and I don’t appreciate the level of arrogance that a company displays when they undo the changes I made to shove stuff I don’t want down my throat. I’d appreciate a response, this is ludicrous. So please, help

    Hey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.

    @KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.

    @Roku I did that. Didn't help. Many People on Twitter had same issue with Paramount Plus.

    @Roku i've never had a problem with roku, had to reverse a Cable one time and that was it, and I love the new voice remotes that are rechargeable, only issue I've had is with Disney not being able to click on it and it comes on says can't login from your area error 43 error 83

  • PrismaticOwl
    Isabella Valentine (@PrismaticOwl) reported

    I generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.

  • JoeKimray
    Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reported

    Wow - this new @Roku Home Screen update they forced on everyone is one of the worst technology “upgrades” ever. Lost the ability to customize the Home Screen - and they added a lot of apps no one wants, that you can’t remove. Horrible decision - the customer is always last…

    @Roku one of your updates completely crashed my Roku brand TV. Any support tips? This seems to be a common issue in recent weeks.

    @Roku POOR execution! great idea. I have many roku sound bars thinking they had all I want - WRONG! They all, within 9 months, have problems with: pairing to TVs, won't turn on TV or Roku box, sound crackles, Batteries drain FAST, etc. AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE reply! don't buy...

  • mrhappybw
    Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported

    @BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.

    @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Most TVs today are purposely not built to last. The industry decided long ago to stress quantity over quality.

    Ok @Roku I’m trying to watch Fracture on my Roku TV Channel and you have a perverse glitch that when I try to rewind for a short time, it sends me back to the first few minutes of the movie and when I try to get back to the spot, it makes me watch all the ads again. WTAF.

    @SophiRene1 @Roku The dogs have Kongs with peanut butter and cheese, they have puzzles, they have toys and treats. They don’t touch the remote when we’re around. I put the remotes up when I’m done. This isn’t really a dog problem It’s a somebody else in my house doesn’t put the remote up problem.

  • FrogSalsa7625

    @Roku Dear Roku. Please fix the HDMI issue with Playstation 5! Ever since your new 'improvements', my TV shows a blank screen and repeated attempts cause it to crash and reboot. Also, I hate that I cannot control the way I want the home screen to appear the way it was before.

  • Hyper_59
    Mike (@Hyper_59) reported

    @Roku you guys and whoever you have working over there are awful for releasing a tv software update and taking away home screen customization. I have a tv imput that i’m not using anymore (HDMI 2) and I can’t delete or hide it like we used to be able to. 😤🙄
