  • RealJohnTsunami grateful dad 🥋 (@RealJohnTsunami) reported

    @WovenAntelope The “Paramount Network” app is on Roku and Apple Store and that’s how I watch season 5 in real time. Uses service provider login.

  • MrCubsHat Matt Weber (@MrCubsHat) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum fix your damn app on Roku. For the love of God. Fix it.

  • Xavier__Gregory XavierGregory (@Xavier__Gregory) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum hey, is there an issue with your @AppleTV app? Channels come in fuzzy, voice track goes off, images freeze. I’ve rebooted all network devices, and no updates are available. It’s just the AppleTV box having the issue. @Roku boxes are A-O-K!

  • sleptonthehill alex 🎄 (@sleptonthehill) reported

    this is the worst thing to ever happen to me (I lost the roku remote)

  • badwebsites bad websites (@badwebsites) reported

    @MacabreMotherLT That's unusual. Does it happen on *every* show? Maybe there's an audio setting you need to change. It could be a Roku issue. Something wrong with the incoming signal. Weird it takes that long to act up.

  • kindacromulent Liam (@kindacromulent) reported

    @thomaswilliams Not on my Roku TV or by casting to Chromecast (it only lets you cast live live TV). And I don't want to watch on my work my PC or a laptop...

  • LynwoodHHodgeJr Harmon Hodge (@LynwoodHHodgeJr) reported

    @CrazyEagle98 I went on Roku and downloaded the Mountain West Channel. I went to the channel and searched live. The USM at UNLV is listed. I did create a login but I do not see any charges.

  • AdamWells86 Adam Wells (@AdamWells86) reported

    @RokuSupport this morning the paramount plus app is acting up saying I don’t have a subscription when I have a monthly one that renews on 12/26 thru roku. Please help

  • charbars53 Charles (@charbars53) reported

    @CathieDWood How is Roku disruptive? I could go on and on but your buying methods are awful.

  • joshwnelson Josh Nelson (@joshwnelson) reported

    @RokuSupport My tablet is recognizing three Roku's; probably because I have three Roku's. The issue is when I go to "Always allowed devices," it always says "The allowed devices is empty." I love your product, but this is maddening. Software is up to date.

  • HenryMrwfriot Henry ****** (@HenryMrwfriot) reported

    @MissPeacockery Oh good i thought i was going crazy lol. I found a cool work around. I started watching on peacock app. Then went to roku peacock and it was there in my shows I could resume watching !

  • Ntombi Ntombi A. Peters (@Ntombi) reported

    @nolan_syreeta @Roku That makes sense. I would do the same. I’m so glad I could help!

  • MasseyEDU Genie Massey (@MasseyEDU) reported

    @MileahKromer I'm not in charge of tech at my house, but I can tell you that you don't have to get married to any platform. Watch what you want on one for a few months, then explore another. A Roku might help. The only one I can't do without is @PBS passport with @marylandpubtv.

  • samgrono17 Samantha Grono (@samgrono17) reported

    @TheRainaAlexis Do you have a roku? It’s on the paramount network app (not paramount+). It has ads though, me and rj had the same problem 🥲

  • dudebabii sarizzle (@dudebabii) reported

    why did i feel like i had to point my phone at the tv in order for the Roku remote app to work 😭

  • trialfemme ThereIsNoJustice (@trialfemme) reported

    @BlizzardCS my Hearthstone keeps crashing, but my Roku doesn’t. Is that a Blizzard issue?

  • MrCubsHat Matt Weber (@MrCubsHat) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum fix your God damn app on Roku. For the love of God. Fix it.

  • whtclrsurthbrsh Badwolfgirl (@whtclrsurthbrsh) reported

    @Roku None. They’re all terrible.

  • Shantae83337512 Uniq_111 (@Shantae83337512) reported

    @Jokestricker Same here also can't login on roku or phone or tablet

  • ZachMasker juicee (@ZachMasker) reported

    Sometimes I wanna go to bed early but the Roku says do you wanna play top gun? And automatically I do. Everytime can't help it.

  • dianeechambers Diane 💫 (@dianeechambers) reported

    @Ghostess_Leanne I've got a Roku stick,apparently you can stream it through that,if that any help.

  • futtbukr FuttBucker (@futtbukr) reported

    @gb_casanova If she dumps Roku and all the other nonsense companies she’s still holding and buys TSLA it’ll work out in the long run… those other companies tho 🤮

  • JamesMo33103777 James Morgan (@JamesMo33103777) reported

    @paramountplus something wrong with your app in roku. Asks to sign in. Signing in does nothing

  • SecuritySensei_ Jordan Frankel | Security Expert (@SecuritySensei_) reported

    @Roku The TV show the The Good Wife on Paramount Plus on Roku has no sound for a week now. All other shows are fine. Deleted app, reloaded etc, still no sound. When will this issue be resolved?

  • aspectmin aspectmin (@aspectmin) reported

    World's worst error message: "Something went wrong." Thanks, @Apple (Siri) and also Roku. Sigh.

  • badwebsites bad websites (@badwebsites) reported

    Roku promised to respond to my complaint in 48 hrs. It's been 96 hours, I think they just forgot about me. I never have problems with the apps like HBO, it's always the little guys with freaky content. I'm getting tired of paying money that they flush down the toilet.
