Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Scott (@revscottd) reportedOur @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
-
Watermelon Sugar (Bisan's version) (@HippieChic82) reportedEven after buying a brand new HDMI wire I am still getting the ************* error code PLYB_122. A ******* 8k capable wire. What in the ******* hell @Verizon or @roku??
-
Mike.🇨🇦🇳🇱🚛🚚HonkHonkSpeakToMy🥑Avocado🥑 (@MikeP77Doglover) reportedI'm currently watching the YouTube algorithms rebuild my profile. I just got a new Roku, didn't sign in but they're pushing me stuff that's narrowing down who I really am based on the information they have. Very interesting.
-
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.
-
Beckie Shorten (@beckie_bubs) reportedHi @NetflixUK you charge me a fortune each month. But I can’t and haven’t been able to watch anything for 2 months cause the Roku app is broken. And it’s on multiple boxes
-
D.A.R.E Capo (@YungYinkv) reportedHey @Roku you may want to fix this. Howdy showing the wrong movie 😡
-
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @Roku Why did you mess up the main menu? Now I've got a bunch of stuff, I don't want, that I have to scroll through to get to my apps, and I can't remove or move them. Also the app icons are smaller? Seriously? Fix this, please, and stop messing with our menus. #Roku
-
Beautiful Frequency (@devonschramm) reported@RokuSupport Is there currently an outage? An automatic update on my Roku device keeps failing.
-
𝓝𝓐𝓝𝓒𝓔🌊🌊🌊 (@solusnan1) reported(3) left hateful messages in my VM. I looked up the legit number , called @Amazon and they handled my problem quickly . Also, my friend said his mom experienced same last week trying to call @Roku and was scammed out of hundreds of $.
-
Joe McIlvain (@mac_attack54) reported@Roku I’ve seen dollar stores in poor areas with higher quality product than you
-
Catherine of Siena (@1catherinesiena) reportedWhat’s the problem @directv with logging into my account for my @Roku ? The login hasn’t changed as in password until you’ve stated otherwise in my several attempts to access through my Roku. Further makes no sense since other TV/Roku in household is ‘up’ right now.
-
Varsity 38 (@CBW556) reportedAnd that turns CC ON for EVERYTHING. Switch from @DisneyPlus to @hulu ? Congratulations! CC. Because one had to turn on CC in the Roku TV settings instead of the show on @DisneyPlus Again, completely idiotic First World problem.
-
DogPerson! (@dog_person20) reported@Prime_KD @Apple I think it might be a @Roku problem. I can stream on the Apple app on my phone and directly through the TV, but the Roku app crashes.
-
Stuffed Burrito Entertainment (@StuffedBurritoE) reportedOh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?
-
🌻🇺🇦Hangry! (@twistedscamp) reported@roku @Walmart Do any of you care that the updated pushed out to the tvs have effectively bricked them? Having to turn a TV off and back on to change a channel is ridiculous. Fix your software!
-
Ant Murdering She Devil (@ShelleyElwood) reported@TVMoJoe Roku TV, and I've had the same issue on Fire TVs, I suspect maybe only Apple is overriding whatever wonky code is happening in Peacock (because it's not just me)
-
Tells, MBA (@tdotcade) reported@Roku Disney Plus isn’t working on my Roku Ultra. Hasn’t been for over a week. Fix this.
-
Richie (@RichiePuregains) reportedDon’t ever buy @Roku theyre making junk that’s overpriced significantly. Every tv I have their POS products to use for @GetSpectrum has problems. By problems I mean everything they have including the most basic functions frequently do not work.
-
Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedFor 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.
-
Courty (@NascarSTARlite) reported@hbomax @HBO please fix your @Roku app. I shouldn’t have to hunt for the show I’m trying to finish binging! Also “continue watching” doesn’t need to feed me the previous episode that I just finished #bemorelikenetflix
-
SynRen (@SynRen) reported@Roku I brought a brand new Roku TV on 07/05/24, now it does not work. It has a black screen. I called Roku and did all the troubleshooting, and they said the hardware is dead. I think they should replace their defective product. Yet it says it should last 5 years minimum.
-
shelbzilla (@_shelbzilla) reportedyoutube forcing all brand accounts to be shown on roku is very annoying. i thought for sure they would fix that but it's been like 2 years. i should be able to choose which of my accounts are visible!
-
redheadgrl🍂 (@redheadgrl04) reportedLet’s see if @Hulu will actually work today. I dunno if it’s on their end or @Roku but all week I’ve had problems.
-
Salt Bae of the ******* (@thisiskenzo_) reportedAight im tired of tweeting about this. @Crunchyroll @Roku YALL HAVE ONE WEEK TO FIX THIS ROKU APP BEFORE I PERMANENTLY END MY SUBSCRIPTION
-
Ben (@TableTopLiberty) reported@DIRECTV I did the trial and I have some feedback on what would win me (and I assume others) over from @YouTubeTV. I use @Roku and the left and right buttons for changing channels instead of rewind and fast forward is the worst. Also allowing 3 streams outside but only 2 from TVs is dumb.
-
✨imtamikalee ©™ (@imtamikalee) reportedThis is such an inconvenience especially for the money I paid. I contacted customer service so assistance only to be rerouted to get tech help with a fee. I googled if this was normal and there are SO many complaints about TCL Roku tvs blackscreening!
-
RockHead Regolith (@RockHeadRego) reported@Roku How do I get James Rhey Roku Customer Support to respond to my request for help regarding the vertical lines that have appeared on my recently purchased Roku TV?
-
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
-
SONJA SMITH (@SstKmd) reported@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
-
Carly カーリー 🌙 (@ScoutCee) reported@peacock seriously needs to fix their subtitle problem on @roku. The subtitles just drop off and stop. I tweeted about this years ago. Luckily I am not hard of hearing but for people are, they cant watch the movie/show!
