    @Roku Yea i do that all the time…. It’ll work for 1-5/10 turn ons then back to having to manual connect, or restart

    haven't been able to watch @espn on @roku for weeks because the app is effed up and apparently using an outdated login token (have uninstalled and reinstalled already). Fortunately it works on my @madebygoogle gtv chromecast, so we're (mostly) fine.

    @Roku And like… if i reset the tv itll work sometimes, but its a big hassle, and after troubleshooting it appears to be a software issue with the update.

    @Roku I've had a #Roku account for five plus years. Now I can't login/connect to My @amazonfiretv because of your ridiculous captcha and login failure. Ridiculous.

    @Roku Nevermind. Not only do you refuse to help, but you completely reformat the home screen to “suggest” 20 different apps or shows and only show 1/3 of my installed apps so I have to search for them. You’re useless. **** off. Buying Firesticks Saturday.

    @Roku joins the total enshittification gang with its trash update. User customizations, gone. UI is terrible, everything is high-friction, and there are more ads. This is for a device I pay for. It's hard to name a single thing in tech that hasn't gotten markedly worse in nearly every way the last five years. Windows. Mac. Linux. iOS. Google. Amazon. Netflix.

    This is why I'm so pissed at @Roku and one of the examples i gave in my posts another multi billion dollar company that somehow can't get a website to work right yet has millions in testing hardware or at least millions available to test the site before rollout but thats too hard

  • StepfordDiana

    @Roku You've removed the option to cancel a paid app subscription on the new homepage I need help

    Hey @Roku @NFL you need to fix the nfl app it wont open. I have uninstalled and reset everything. Every year the nfl app is the worst app ever invented. I enjoy NFL plus but man you guys gotta make an app that works all the time for once.

    @Roku @Country2018gal We've had the same issue recently.

    @SaThomas__ I get it with every “smart” tv. Roku, Google, the Amazon thing… they all stink. Same class. All annoying. @Roku is no different to me. I had no problems with OTA tv, js

    @SophiRene1 @Roku The dogs have Kongs with peanut butter and cheese, they have puzzles, they have toys and treats. They don’t touch the remote when we’re around. I put the remotes up when I’m done. This isn’t really a dog problem It’s a somebody else in my house doesn’t put the remote up problem.

  • bleezy_db
    mmmhmmm (@bleezy_db) reported

    @Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.

    Anyone else having an issue with their @TheCW on @Roku ??? It keeps crashing for me

    @espn @roku why are you both worthless? I'm just trying to login with my provider to watch espn on my roku, and you're not allowing me to enter my provider credentials. So I'll ask again, why are you both worthless?

  • arnettjerry66

    @Roku Trying to get ahold of Support on Roku is impossible anymore They have a chat section that doesn't work when pressed, I canceled my trial offer and still get charged for a month's worth! I think I'm going to have to end Roku now

    @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!

    Mike (@Hyper_59) reported

    @Roku you guys and whoever you have working over there are awful for releasing a tv software update and taking away home screen customization. I have a tv imput that i’m not using anymore (HDMI 2) and I can’t delete or hide it like we used to be able to. 😤🙄

  • acme1265packers
    Acme Pack (@acme1265packers) reported

    @Roku The problem is that Roku is getting a kickback for recommending shows that no one watches, plus we already know what they are going to watch.

  • iii_lonell
    Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported

    @Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE

  • ghfrost3
    George H Frost III (@ghfrost3) reported

    @Roku you are a rip off. Customer service is bullshit take my money and when you can’t make it work refuse a refund. Well **** you. Back to cable

    @downdetector around 20 aps not working on @Roku that’s just my personal ones. :/

    @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.

  • McgrawSparky
    Sparky McGraw (@McgrawSparky) reported

    @Roku No error code, it just has to be manually connected almost all the time whereas the Onn Tv connects automatically each time…. As the @TCL_USA TV should

    I'm hearing @roku is too ****** to handle the 4k that the race was recorded in. Is that the issue?

  • Jakewk
    Jake K (@Jakewk) reported

    Ok @Roku I’m trying to watch Fracture on my Roku TV Channel and you have a perverse glitch that when I try to rewind for a short time, it sends me back to the first few minutes of the movie and when I try to get back to the spot, it makes me watch all the ads again. WTAF.

    @BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.

    Thank you @Roku I've been paying $70 a month to @DIRECTV for the exact same channels as you all and you have way less commercials and better quality. Thank GOD I found Roku

    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

    @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.
