Roku Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported 57 seconds ago from Rome, Latium

  Dear @Spotify and @Roku , It has come to my attention that @Google is regulalrly attacking my Roku streaming device. The first time I installed a Chromecast in the house, my Google Play functionality immediately disappeared from my Roku player. I was forced to use the YouTube app, but could only see movies I had purchased, no TV shows. Recently, I tried connecting the Chromecast to our new wifi. It said I needed to donload the Google Home app to change the wifi, so I did. From that point on, anytime I watch a podcast on Spotify, the video will not work. None of this is a problem on my phone, sitting in the same room, usung rhe same accounts on the same wifi. The common denominators here are me installing or updating something on my Google Chromecast and instantly having a major, negative change to my Roku streaming box. How is this legal? Why is Google allowed to attack my Roku player and disable functionality from other apps?

  no, i don't think i will, thanks (@a9ymous) reported 2 minutes ago

  @Roku stop continually making the Live TV interface worse, it's one of the reasons we got this RokuTV (pause/rw terrestrial TV). and fix your subtitle support, constantly having to go back to the main menu and unselect/reselect Always On.

  wtf @Roku? What is the deal with our TV. Just left my dad’s house 2 hrs away & his Hisense/Roku TV had logged him out and removed all of his app’s & settings. Just got home to my house and guess what….. all my apps are out of order & all of them require a new login/pw…. Ffffff

  @slinganswers Suddenly #Sling FreeStream on #Roku has this msg: "11-6 Looks like a #location issue. 1)Make sure you aren't on VPN; 2) Enable location services if they aren't on (mobile devices only)" Neither issue is valid. I am in Md USA. Please fix this. 😠 cc @Sling @Roku

  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

  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.

  @TCL_Global I will never buy one of your products every again because of the garbage @Roku does. i should not need to connect to the Internet to make changes on my TV. Absolutely terrible. I paid $1000 for my TV, I should have comple control of it. Never again.

  @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.

  @Roku What the HECK did you do to live tv pause? There is no way to fast forward and see where you are in the program. You’ve literally broken the best feature of having a Roku TV.

  @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.

  @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!

  @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.

  FYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA

  Our @Shentel internet has been out all day. That means no cable tv (because they stream it now), no phone (because our home phone relies on the internet) and @Roku tv’s have to have internet so the app to watch over the air antenna tv can work. 1/2
