  • malclon76 Malclon (@malclon76) reported from Fingal County, Leinster

    @RTEplayer does the version on Roku show whats on live like the Android phone version? If not is there any work around to watch sport or news live on roku?

  • erickag2011 Erick (@erickag2011) reported

    @JeremyAnthony I'd chalk it up to Roku, but I've had similar, if not the exact same, issues on the website. Weird

  • QuestionsDaniel Daniel Has Questions (@QuestionsDaniel) reported

    @NKiyoubinbou @WIRED I've owned 2 Roku sticks and they have both run hot enough to degrade the image quality. I've gotten skilled at modding Rokus with heat sinks but nobody should have to do this

  • ErinZ ˗ˏˋ 𝕖 𝕣 𝕚 𝕟 ˊˎ˗ (@ErinZ) reported

    My mother would threaten my very existence on this earth if I dared call her at her work unless it was an emergency. Now, she calls me at my office at 11:04 am on a Tuesday to ask if a Roku television "is a good one to get".

  • collinsumler collinsumler (@collinsumler) reported

    @servicesdown_ Error 500 for me. My dad even restarted the WiFi router. Still nothing. On Roku or Google TV. Not watching Live TV

  • meowandyawn Meow And Yawn (@meowandyawn) reported

    @JackPosobiec I use Rumble, but it has some serious issues. Especially on their Roku app. There is no "watch later" option for one.

  • salAmanda77 Amanda (@salAmanda77) reported

    @Roku Fix the @Spotify app.

  • NickWaranoff Nick Waranoff (@NickWaranoff) reported

    @LGUS There was info on line that I could use web browser to navigate to @ESPNPlus but that didn’t work. So I guess I need to buy a Roku

  • PastorKaos Kim McSheehy (@PastorKaos) reported

    @hulu_support @DingoDominquez getting an error 500 all other streaming services on my Roku device are fine

  • frickea86 Adam Fricke (@frickea86) reported

    @hulu_support , is Hulu stream services down? If we try to go and stream a tv show we get an error, “Error 500, Please check your internet connection. We were trying to stream dopesick from Roku device.

  • frickea86 Adam Fricke (@frickea86) reported

    Made sure the app and the Roku device were all up to date, no change. Also, doesn’t matter the device or my internet, can’t stream over my phone either, same error.

  • CodenameSailorE Koriander Bullard (@CodenameSailorE) reported

    @Funimation The subs on The Vampire Dies at the End just vanished on episode 1 halfway through on Roku. Help!!

  • ajdv30 Anthony Della Valle (@ajdv30) reported

    @barstoolWSD Get a roku and get the xfinity app. Works just like a box. Boom, problem solved

  • randypinball ▂▃RANDYPINBALL▃▂ (@randypinball) reported

    @TeamYouTube Search Twitter for youtube down, go to downdetector, you will see thousands of reports of the same issue. God I hate when yall send replies with tech tips. IVE TRIED LINUX and ROKU .. So its not me and I tried it on 2 networks .. Search YOUTUBE DOWN before sending those replies.

  • 21JonathanJames Jonathan James (@21JonathanJames) reported

    @BackpackerFI @for_retirement @BahamaBen9 Agreed, however I would assume most holders of PTON, TDOC, ROKU & SQ wish they had that tax problem to deal with rather than being down 60-70%. Point is if the stock market corrects 30%, individual names will be down 50-60% from here. A bear market is not kind to BTFD.

  • DMJreports Daniel M. Jimenez (@DMJreports) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Hi, this isn't a "me" problem. It's a "you" problem. I noticed it on Roku, then reproduced it on the web and the HBO Max app. I'm done watching the movie, so you can either choose to fix it or not. Good luck!

  • OwenMohler Owen Mohler (@OwenMohler) reported

    @Roku please fix the commercial placement when it comee to streaming episodes of Third Watch. Commercials shouldn’t be occurring in the middle of a scene

  • DontEatThat6 In RICO WeTrust 🐙 (@DontEatThat6) reported

    @raconteursaurus @RokuSupport Roku is working on a fix for the nationwide pbs livestream, it's not your location or your local pbs station.

  • MattHasTheMusic ᗰᗩTT 🗽 My Wife Is A Lawyer (@MattHasTheMusic) reported from Queens, New York

    @35mmPapi Never had the playback issues with Roku HBO Max that others have had, but it’s started to have me have to log out and in because it doesn’t recognize my subscription

  • thatolssongirl Leslie Olsson (@thatolssongirl) reported

    @hulu_support @fanatikpro On Roku, the UI loads but every title gives the same error 500 when you try to play it.

  • adam_welp adam_welp (@adam_welp) reported

    @RekietaMedia The stream has gone down for me on the Roku YouTube channel several times today. I've had no internet issues here as my work computer has not lost connection to the work network. Just an FYI.

  • from3rdwithlove Third Grade Teacher🍎 (@from3rdwithlove) reported

    @YouTubeTV I am beginning to believe that you are the ones that must be difficult to work with. First Roku, now this? Fix it or you will be losing thousands of subscribers…

  • simonashton Simon. (@simonashton) reported

    @thatolssongirl @hulu_support Same. Every show gives a 500 error Working fine on a Chromecast plugged into the Roku tv, though.

  • Bowieinthewater Bucks Burger (@Bowieinthewater) reported

    @barstoolWSD Yo, find out if you can stream cable through like a roku or similar device, then you don’t need the box or to pay the box fees each month. You just use your comcast login and get all your cable channels through the roku or apple tv or whatever else is supported

  • megancorcor Megan Corcoran (@megancorcor) reported

    anyone else having issues with @hulu? Particularly on Roku? Pretty sure it isn’t me, everything else on it is working fine @hulu_support

  • scottieGGGG Scott Galinac (@scottieGGGG) reported

    @hulu_support seems like my hulu live content is not working.. reporting weak or no internet connection when tried from my phone. While my roku stay error 500. Hulu fxm content works.. as does Disney + right now. Is it just me??

  • E_Baillieul slayer of moths (@E_Baillieul) reported

    @hulu_support 500 error on Hulu on Roku. My internet is fine, every other app is working.

  • banoopyblizz Pantsbear (@banoopyblizz) reported

    @findkylesxbox @Wario64 This is literally as expensive a streaming device as you could buy and your comparing it to the basic cable service lmao. A subscription to 3 streaming services and a Roku will be $100s less a year, have more personally interesting content, and work better than cable's UI

  • randypinball ▂▃RANDYPINBALL▃▂ (@randypinball) reported

    @CreatVlol You getting a black screen after it plays for about 2 minutes and it says Playback Error and it lists some error code? its happening on my Roku and on My PC. (Linux)

  • laphillyfan Go Eagles (@laphillyfan) reported

    love the #roku tv but dam, you have terrible placement of commercials on your streaming shows. Watch Miami Vice and have them right in a shootout, fight, conversation, anyone monitoring this? They do have breaks in them and your not placing them there...you can do better.
