    @daisy_musician @paramountplus @Roku Paramount is the only one we had issues with. Appears it was a Walmart plus issue for us.

  • MeetYouAtMoes
    Moe's Place (@MeetYouAtMoes) reported

    @Roku Thanks for the response. Yup. Tried that. Doesn't work. And the buffering is constant. It only happens on the Blaze App. It makes it completely unwatchable.

    @foxone @Roku the foxone app runs bad on the roku. Constant errors. Error:PL--28

    @Roku what’s wrong with the Roku Channel. Freezes and very long to load. Only thing giving any problems

    Sarah Young (@Sarah_young5314) reported

    @Roku, I’m not happy. We have a ONN Roku TV. We have an antenna. Until today, I could watch local channels. Now I can’t. I followed all the steps to fix this. Every one. Then I hoped onto chat and had to talk to two different reps, neither of which fixed the issue. One said (1)

    Vash (old account suspended) (@RichCEOAlpha) reported

    Bro @Roku I hate you I tried turning the brightness up on my tv but now its pitch black and I can’t ******* fix it what ******** #rokusbiggesthater

  • HarveyJackalope
    Harvey Jackalope (@HarveyJackalope) reported

    @AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.

    Ken Brown (@Ken_Brown_FL) reported

    Hey @hulu_support I am unable to log In and your chat folks actually hung up on me. I have not moved yet your app says I have. I do not have this issue with any other app on @Roku . #customerservicefail

  • geoffmeador
    Geoff Meador (@geoffmeador) reported

    Our @Ask_Spectrum outage has lasted all morning and USA vs AUS is coming up, so I just switched our @Roku TV to OTA antenna… except, in the most idiotic decision imaginable, watching antenna TV on Roku apparently requires a working internet connection now. 1/2

    @Roku I have done all but still the same problem

  • RespectProdHWs
    Support Your Producing Housewives (@RespectProdHWs) reported

    FYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA

  • revscottd
    Scott (@revscottd) reported

    Our @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

  • Bren9889
    Brendanfly1998 (@Bren9889) reported

    @RokuSupport I need your help and please don’t give me an automated reply. The apps on my new @Roku TV keep crashing, mainly YouTube, Disney+ and Paramount+! What is causing this and what can I do to fox it?

  • PrismaticOwl
    Isabella Valentine (@PrismaticOwl) reported

    I generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.

    Robby Thomas (@RobbyThomas2525) reported

    iphone computer even my roku streambar just the streaming sticks is having this problem and the version i'm on for both my rokus are 15.1.4 @Roku @RokuSupport

  • desunyan2
    🐸💚💚💚 (@desunyan2) reported

    @Roku I need the apps I use right at the top. I need to rearrange the quick access area and I cannot. Tell me how to rearrange them. I have to scroll all the way past a bunch of stupid junk to see my apps on the order I want them in. Tell me how to fix this immediately

  • rosevera
    Rose Vera, J.D. (@rosevera) reported

    @Roku Im interrupting your post to bring something to your attention. I have been a loyal customer for years. Recently, your billing department has billed my credit card several times a month. I've called to complain but get nothing but a bad attitude. Perhaps you can help me.

    @Roku I need help. My 3 emails are already full as you max out at 20. What’s the solution I own multiple Airbnb’s and I only install Roku TV’s.

    @Roku fix your espn app.

  • harty2you
    Alan Hartland (@harty2you) reported

    @Roku hi, I live in the UK, I have a Roku streaming stick I bought in November 2025 from Tesco. I have had no problems with it until today. I am not able to use BBC iPlayer app. I have done all the resets but still not working. All other TV apps are ok ?

  • MissingReagan
    🇺🇸 Save Tina 🇺🇸 (@MissingReagan) reported

    @BioMathJason @Roku @TCL_Global Yes, that's the way it is supposed to work, and has worked for the 5 years I've owned this tv. TCL did an update the early part of this year that removed the ability to watch OTA without internet. They did send a fix for most customers after the backlash, but many are still twisting in the wind. Their LiveTv is the culprit.

    John Tanner (@Lordofdeath14Xb) reported

    @Roku hey guys if you could fix your ******* app every time when I'm listening to music on my phone through the app it disconnects so how about you guys get off your *** and fix the ******* app thank you.

  • Primetime_TB
    Primetime 📺 (@Primetime_TB) reported

    Finally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.

  • Samael1976
    LIBER000 (@Samael1976) reported

    @CordCuttersNews Great! I will make sure after I throw this POS TV down the stairs that I never buy another @Roku TV again. Every update makes my TV more useless and unusable. Can't wait! 😒😑

  • WhatsMyLime
    TimeToWatch (@WhatsMyLime) reported

    @Roku I need help creating an account can we message? I’m getting the TV today and it says I need an account can be free but when I hit continue nothing will work and yes, I know how to do that
