Roku Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
[a case of the blog] (@acaseofthetwit) reportedI normally love my @Roku — I have one for each TV! — but my living room one has been a real issue. The remote randomly stopped working and the device itself now reboots itself multiple times a day (often in the middle of viewing something). Very annoying.
-
V@rified Packer Fan (@zhotster) reported@CoachDrewNelson I have been getting tons of notifications from @Roku. I found out on Reddit that it was a Roku tech problem, not a hacker. Hope it's the same for you.
-
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @CBSNews what's going on with the CBS News app on @Roku . Only a few videos in the main area, Sunday Morning area has no videos, lastest eps of 48 HRS and 60 Minutes not loaded. Please fix. #CBSNews #ROKU

Todd (@twchristensen) reportedDear @Roku @rokuone I have been nothing but a fan and advocate, until now. Your last update is atrocious. I don’t know who your UX/UI team are or what they were thinking, but they got this all wrong. I could not be more unhappy. You turned one click into 3 or 4. How could that have ever been your goal? Who approved this? It’s just absurd. I will be looking for alternatives because that’s how bad you’ve broken this. And don’t think I didn’t notice that you continue to jam Howdy down my throat. I have deleted it every time, why would you continue to force us to have that channel when we say we don’t want it? It is clear to me that Roku no longer cares about what the customer wants - the death spiral of just about every company that has ever existed. You ruined a good thing. It is going to have unforeseen consequences, starting with me. Unless, of course, your goal was to shed users. All five of my TV’s will be turned over to another streamer by end of next week as I do some research. What a shame.

Melt Wizard (@melt_wizard) reported@Roku @DeeRugz718 This **** is awful!!! Change it back!!!
-
Maya Belle (@cblanknyc) reported@Roku I just lost my job & started poring over every dollar going out. That’s when I found I’d paid $269.78 in monthlies for ESPN. Which I didn’t order & never watched in my life. Cancelled but could only get a month refund. I should’ve noticed, but didn’t. Please help.

Arika ⸆⸉ ♡ (@arikajeannoel) reported@Roku This is TERRIBLE! How do I revert back to the old home screen. Literally no one asked for this
-
RaiderNeil (@Rdrneil) reported@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
-
Geoff Meador (@geoffmeador) reportedOur @Ask_Spectrum outage has lasted all morning and USA vs AUS is coming up, so I just switched our @Roku TV to OTA antenna… except, in the most idiotic decision imaginable, watching antenna TV on Roku apparently requires a working internet connection now. 1/2
-
Born Free Pronoun-free 🇺🇸 (@SLnat) reported@Roku you’ve got to do something about your remote control design. It’s terrible! The buttons don’t depress well, they roll and often require pressing multiple times to make a selection. Take a page off Xumo, Apple TV or FireTV. Redesign your remote!!
-
Reigh S. (@ILoveIdahoSpuds) reported@Roku hello, whatever forced update that was just received by my Ultra just bricked my device. Factory reset not working. Error 023.4. “Reset to factory settings” fails. Any suggestions?
-
Chris Nalwasky (@ChrisNalwasky) reported@Roku @FOXSports fix your app. I signed in 5 times and it’s not working.

David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported from Rome, LatiumDear @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?

Ryan Paredez (@RyanParedez) reported@foxone @Roku the foxone app runs bad on the roku. Constant errors. Error:PL--28

court (@allherdanger) reportedIdk wtf Roku did but every time I'm paused too long now it doesn't go to the screensaver I have set up, it goes to a Roku thing and then I can't get out of that screen without going to the home screen first?? FIX IT @Roku and don't you dare blame me, I checked my settings
-
RaiderNeil (@Rdrneil) reported@Roku OK I have a Roku 4K stick and good Wi-Fi and a very good Samsung TV and I've had Disney Hulu ESPN now paid through Roku I started getting error 83 error 43 couldn't login on TV couldn't watch it deleted everything restarted updated no help from Disney so I canceled them
-
Cream the Barber (@creamthebarber) reported@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.
-
Glenn 🇺🇲⚓️ (@gcanderson57) reported@PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home. My ROKU is running software version 15.1.4 Build 3321. Yes I've restarted the unit and no it doesn't help. Your app is version 5.45 Build 3 I've cleared the ROKU cache, removed & reinstalled your app.
-
Dr. Stack Sats & HODL (@NoBagHolder) reportedDear @MLBTV please fix your @Roku app. Every time I try to resume a game the next day from where I turned it off, the broadcast begins where I left off, immediately crashes, and then starts back at the beginning of the game when I restart it.
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know
-
Alan Hartland (@harty2you) reported@Roku hi, I live in the UK, I have a Roku streaming stick I bought in November 2025 from Tesco. I have had no problems with it until today. I am not able to use BBC iPlayer app. I have done all the resets but still not working. All other TV apps are ok ?

Shakingmyhead (@mitchroachmr2) reported@paramountplus @ufc is not working on any @Roku devices. Works perfectly on my iPhone. Figure it out! I’ve completed all troubleshooting possibilities.
-
MrScottFletcher (@MrScottFletcher) reported@Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.
