    @Roku just got home from work, sat down to watch the game on Peacock. But guess what. Your stupid widget had the France Spain score displayed. One of the last few world cup matches left to watch and your stupid home screen ruined it for me🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • MeetYouAtMoes

    @Roku Thanks for the response. Yup. Tried that. Doesn't work. And the buffering is constant. It only happens on the Blaze App. It makes it completely unwatchable.

    @YouTube please fix the Jump Forward feature on your @Roku app. I don’t care whose end of the tech it’s on. I pay for three YT Premium, so that my kiddos don’t infect my feed or complain about what each other watch. I’ve told them “ give it a few days to patch it”. It’s been hell

    @AgentAmish @FrndlyTV @Roku I agree. It’s been over a year and I’m not experiencing anything better with frndly. In fact lately I’ve been having problems with guide accessibility. And they just updated the home page with smaller icons and filled with suggestions I don’t care about and they’re in my way

    @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Problem is... finding an actual "dumb tv" is almost impossible anymore. The business model for TV companies has shifted. They don't make $ when I buy the TV anymore.

    @Roku You should be concentrating on making your site work. The app doesn't work & your website doesn't work either

    @LeetOffice @Roku Someone just posted this How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!

    The Netflix button is way too close to the play/pause button on the Roku remote. Pls fix @Roku @netflix

  • MizNizzle
    Mitch (@MizNizzle) reported

    @hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.

    Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported

    @Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.

  • Country2018gal
    Countrygirl (@Country2018gal) reported

    I've been watching movies on the @Roku . The last 2 never showed the ending but immediately went to the next one in the app. What gives? I may stop watching those movies, if it continues to do that. Anyone else have that problem?

  • Mare_Loch
    Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported

    @Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?

  • blau_vic_grana
    Victor Valencheck (@blau_vic_grana) reported

    @Roku I HATE this update. I want control of WHAT I see on m6 homescreen. I have to scroll down the page past a bunch of crap to see MY APPS. Fix this now!

    Bob Rickert (@bobrickert) reported

    Taking out the remainder of my Amazon Fire Cube controllers @amazon I have 3 and I thought they would all work well. Tried one Roku Stick and it is a much better experience. Too much advertising and useless stuff on Fire Cube plus it never really worked that well with You Tube TV. @Roku

    @Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

  • fmarqueze
    FrancisCOM. (@fmarqueze) reported

    @roku now it turns out that if I don't have internet I can't watch broadcast TV. What a terrible system, I'll never buy a TV with Roku again.

  • HockeyDad2AandZ
    HockeyDad2A&Z (@HockeyDad2AandZ) reported

    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.

  • MikeyBoom32
    Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported

    @Roku Roku asking for a private message is ridiculous. Roku knows exactly what the problems are as it has been widely reported and complaints are numerous. Almost no Roku owner has not been touched by the new update. Slow apps, apps that will not open, unable to download new apps.

  • CrucifiedAgape
    Jesus's Flunky (@CrucifiedAgape) reported

    Don't know whether it's my @TCL_USA @Roku TV or my @dish Hopper 3, but Lordy, I have to do a hard reboot on them nearly everyday to get them to work together.

  • Jinxsyns

    So what absolute ******* retard at @Roku decided that when adding a remote THE ******* BACK, HOME, AND ******* APP BUTTONS DON'T BRING YOU BACK TO THE HOME SCREEN OH AND BEST PART IT DOESNT SAY THIS SO I SAT HERE HITTING EVERY ******* BUTTON BUT THE LEFT BUTTON TO GET IT TO WORK

  • CaitlinKazarian
    CKAKRK (@CaitlinKazarian) reported

    @Roku your support sucks. It says it’s an agent but it’s just AI. Sent multiple screenshots and the “agent” didn’t even bother to open. Sick of paying for subscriptions that I can’t use on my tv. No one is of any help. Done with Roku and being charged for things I can’t access!

  • CptCracker

    @thatoneguychaz @FOXSoccer @Roku Fox One is a hot mess. They seem to have blown it on capacity planning. A Grok survey of complaints confirms the issues are multi platform. Roku has a 100 million user base so they are going to get mentioned more than others, but it's cross platform. If there's something roku can do to help fix thst would be great though. The games on Fox over the air have worked just fine. This is when having a $40 Walmart antenna or even better a Tablo antenna tuner/dvr is helpful. The problem is they seem to have 37 games scheduled for streaming only.

  • FuckThe_USA
    FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸 (@FuckThe_USA) reported

    Exactly what millennia Are you worthless *********** going to fix the ******* @roku software in my ******* @TCL_USA @Roku TV so that I don't have to ******* redo the ******* wireless connection every ******* time I turn the TV off and back on. I've been ******* tweeting and ******* putting this complaint on the ******* website for three ******* years you worthless *************.

    @foxone App isn’t working on @Roku. Turns on for 5 mins then goes back to Home Screen. Help.

  • 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.

    @Roku @RokuSupport This was not worth the awful updates you made to this tech. I can't even organize my inputs anymore

    @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...

    Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported

    @tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!

    @Roku new layout is awful. Switching back to just individual apps on my smart tv
