Hulu is easily the worst app on Roku. It breaks every 10 minutes.

$ROKU Today's news about ROKU is purely non-event. ROKU bought Quibi so it needs to maintain it & publishes unfinished work IHMO. So $ROKU already own its originals which is Quibi. Wood is one of smartest CEOs. Every move he made makes sense. Here is some info about Quibi

@JPaquetteNY Didn't really fix the issue. So, I plugged in the Roku and it works like a charm again. Have yet to own a Smart TV that doesn't have that horrible lag. Gotta be a connection issue with WiFi.

First point of frustration with the @oculus quest 2: I can't stream directly to @Roku (it supports miracast screen mirror and airplay, but doesn't show up in oculus). I did get streaming through tablet to work, but that's less than ideal. Maybe need to get out old Chromecast...

Dear @hbomax, Could you pretty please, with sugar on top, fix your @Roku app? You have a lot of great content, but only support 63 list items and titles take forever to load, of they do at all. Your HBOnow app worked great - can you just take that and rebrand? XOXO, /D

If you don’t like horribly depressing movies DO NOT watch Wind River on Roku. Violent, desolate, absolutely awful. Wish I could shower my mind after that.

@WSBMonk @AMCTheatres who does that? expect people to watch on your phone? roku cuts out the UHD quality, even its hd model. i paid a lot for my UHD tv, i shouldnt need a roku or any plugin device. my new samsung smart tv has 1000s of apps. just not amc theatres app.

Somehow my HBOMax account got disconnected from my AT&T account and my Roku and my life. The ten minutes it took to fix were so annoying that I'm now mad at TV and don't want to watch anything out of spite.

@Vimeo why'd you stop supporting the Roku? Super annoying to have a whole list of videos saved and be unable to watch them because I can't sign in on Roku. Guess I'll just stick to YouTube henceforth

@WhoCamille_ I got mine for a little cheaper but I’ve had it for three years no issues. I just hook up my roku stick. I don’t use it everyday, but it’s nice the nights I want to get in the bed early or watch a movie.

I got an #AppleTV today to replace my #Roku and suddenly all the shows actually work on all the channels. Funny how tech reviews don’t mention that Roku fails so much.

@MuseZack @PlutoTV I’m not seeing any problems on my devices. But I’ll pass along your issue to our tech team. In the meantime if you have a Roku or Apple TV you could try us there, or any tablet. Sorry it’s causing you trouble.

@Punkdbarbie @RokuSupport @Roku Pluto is acting the same on people's Fire TVs. I can't comment on the other two since I'm not subscribed to them. It looks like it's not a Roku specific issue though. Pluto seems to work ok on my computer though. It's all really weird.

@GlobeChadFinn AppleTV constantly fails to play on ROKU. Widespread issue that renders it amazingly frustrating.

@TheRealFrankEP @Ask_Spectrum Same thing here @ask_Spectrum. I get The same several minutes of a program that was broadcast on CBS at 2pm ..... but it is now 7pm. My ABC feed also keeps showing the same few minutes of the wrong show instead of To Tell The Truth at 7pm. ROKU, AppleTV, same problem on both.

@armsaloft Not sure what your hardware situation is but you could potentially connect your router to your VPN service and then the roku should also work? I'm not 100% certain on this but if the VPN is just to spoof a region you can likely do that at the router level if you want to tinker.

@burstahurst it's not the Apple TV. I have zero streaming issues on every other app, even other sports apps. Just ESPN (and I've used Roku before, didn't care much for the UI)

@comcastcares I think there is a glitch. As of Monday the ability to activate all network apps (ESPN, NBC, BRAVO, etc.) with xfinity credentials has been failing. I have tried on iphone, fireTV, appleTV and roku. Also confirmed my bro with a separate account has same issue

@somilagrawal @benedictevans I ran into this issue because they don't have the YT kids app on Roku. So I thought I could use a normal YouTube account with the kids control thing benedict mentions. But of course it doesn't work.

@AznWeng Great find! I think Roku has the leverage to pull this off now, Netflix for eg. has to be on Roku otherwise it would take a big revenue hit and allow a competitor like FireTV to gain market share which restarts the problem. Content providers have already been commoditized imo

@GAMBLEnotGaming @Roku This is the 2nd remote I have had a problem with. Roku should spend another 3 cents per remote at their chinese child labor sweat shop and get remotes that don't eat themselves. JK @Roku.

My hisense R8 roku TV looses wifi connection around midnight for about 90 minutes for the past week, all my other devices are still connected, wifi working fine, reset factory settings but no help. The tvs do not even see my wifi address.
