    @theeluvvbelow @danaoneika Option not working on my roku 🙃

  • emmanem_93 Emma ✨ (@emmanem_93) reported

    Disney+’s fast forward feature always makes my Roku reset. Does anybody else have this problem?

  • EddiePerrett Eddie P (@EddiePerrett) reported

    @ByJoeDavis Watching in Roku TV and switched over to MNF with no issues. But KU game keeps glitching on and off.

  • zemus77 Zemus77 (@zemus77) reported

    @paramountplus can you help me troubleshoot your app? It works great on Roku and mobile, but it's very buggy on Android TV. I have to constantly uninstall and reinstall in order to watch it.

  • AllenLankford Allen Lankford (@AllenLankford) reported

    @ESPNPlus I keep getting Connection Error on both my phone and Roku. Internet is fine… can’t watch @KUHoops game!

  • ayayalar ∀𝗥𝕀千 (@ayayalar) reported

    @PeacockTVCare Tried these already. I’m watching peacock on Roku. It is only channel have streaming issues. Mainly freezing

  • KevWatchedAFilm KevWatchedAFilm ™ (@KevWatchedAFilm) reported

    Well, we tried to watch WEIRD, but it’s just not working. Roku Channel only?! Really?? I don’t have a fire stick or Roku TV, so the only option is to cast from my phone to my TV, and it just refuses to work. This is the stupidest streaming movie release strategy of all-time.

  • HeatherRadio Heather Burnside (@HeatherRadio) reported

    @sean_janko Tried Roku, didn't work there either. It didn't even work on my phone at one point

  • CrashSiouxFalls Crash (@CrashSiouxFalls) reported

    @slinganswers what’s going on with your service? Will not load any stations. Froze during Monday Night Football and have rebooted. All other services work on Roku. Not Sling.

  • USA_Bev Deplorable USA_GIRL 🇺🇸 🍊 (@USA_Bev) reported

    @38Sandy48 I’m still on TV streaming on ROKU no problems

  • kevinlovestech Kevin Lloyd🇨🇦 (@kevinlovestech) reported

    Got through to Sh*w *tech support* to hopefully resolve an issue. Trying to get the box to recognize my Roku. She has never heard of a Roku. That honestly worries me in terms of her technical ability.

  • ExpendableBeard Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@ExpendableBeard) reported

    Roku is the biggest waste of a ******* product. Spend 50$ for an extra thing to connect to your tv just to have nonstop connectivity issues IF the app doesn’t crash on you. It provides nothing a standard smart tv doesn’t, but a smart tv actually works

  • sean_janko Father Sean (@sean_janko) reported

    @HeatherRadio I’ve had no issues via Roku.

  • stantheman0033 stanley (@stantheman0033) reported

    @NBALPSupport has this really innovative business model of offering every nba game tonight for free on league pass for subscribers and non-subscribers. But the kicker is the app doesn’t work on Roku or PS5! How convenient and awesome!

  • cybooty Matt Lundquist (@cybooty) reported

    @gmackey32 @ESPNPlus Never mind, just got home and I guess they had issues with it on the Roku but I had no issue on my phone

  • RickStorms7 Rick Storms (@RickStorms7) reported

    @Sling is there an outage? I'm currently unable to watch anything on Xfinity Flex and Roku. Although, everything works fine on my Samsung s22. #help #outage #OutageUpdate

  • mgier Michael Gier 🐀 (@mgier) reported from Weatherby Lake, Missouri

    @tberkley @espn My @Roku app just glitched a glitch I haven’t seen in two years or more: it suddenly started repeating the same 5 seconds of video over and over. Hope that BS isn’t back, because I almost dumped all my Roku devices over it.

  • gmackey32 Greg "Ham is better than Turkey" Mackey (@gmackey32) reported

    @cybooty @ESPNPlus Weird. Some people were saying it was working fine on Hulu. It seems those using a streaming device like Roku and FireStick had problems.

  • TheLanceAdams Lance Adams (@TheLanceAdams) reported

    @DigestAndroid I hope you got the Android TV version, or at least plan to add an external box to it like that Chromecast with Google TV or NVIDIA Shield. Roku is the worst.

  • the_d_reed Dan (@the_d_reed) reported

    @NBA Does it work on @Roku ?

  • IRL2LA Self-Driving-EVs (@IRL2LA) reported

    @kgreifeld @markets Kathy over managed her fund, she bought so much weird biotech crap in combo with awful millennial recommendations (roku)

    @4Viewers hi, any issues with roku? I go into the app and it says somethings not working, all4 008. Thanks

  • itsnotgeoff Jeff G. 🌪️⚡ (@itsnotgeoff) reported from Des Moines, Iowa

    @ChrisMWilliams @WideRtNattyLt It’s had a “connection error” multiple times……then the entire app crashed on Roku.

  • LowProf64135955 Low Profile (@LowProf64135955) reported

    Has anyone in the world ever managed to set up a #Google #Chromecast? Just bizarrely complicated due to many moving parts. I can move my #Roku from site to site and setup through successive hotel login systems but cannot setup Chromecast from my living room. Dah!

  • Fake1923Jayhawk Fake 1923 Jayhawk (@Fake1923Jayhawk) reported

    @ByJoeDavis Watching on a Roku. I had a glitch or two where the video and audio repeated a few times then back to sort of normal. Still feel like my feed is behind game time significantly more than usual when streaming. #kubball

  • MattLoggins Matthew Loggins (@MattLoggins) reported

    @AaronNolanNews @ESPNPlus I'm in the ESPN app on Roku and I'm not having any trouble, but I'm not sure if I'm an outlier or not.

  • TheYungCatholic Yung Catholic 🇻🇦🍁 (@TheYungCatholic) reported

    @Charles_Reding @CaveDude111 @EthanYVR This is the way. We bought a 12-year old used TV a couple months ago for $50, plugged in a $50 Roku, and use our parents’ Netflix and Crave login details. Don’t fall for the scam.

    Why is the Netflix app on my Roku TV always giving me issues
