@evoterra Crunchyroll *had* a smoothly running interface, then they tried to make it more like Netflix on my Roku. Slow, unresponsive, and crash-riddled now.

@davidpillen Yeah I’ve done that. I’m getting a little better quality going straight from a roku/HDMI feed. No big deal since I have the hardware to make it work.

@chrislhayes Eh in all fairness I’ve had trouble with most on my apps on Roku. My ESPN+ buffers a lot.

@adambair I HATE my firestick, but roku lost Twitch. It freezes all the time, it's slow AF, the UI is garbage, and half the time the sound doesn't work and I have to reset it.

@NESN was planning on watching the Bruins and Sox game this afternoon but your app is horrendous and on Roku and mobile the broadcasts won’t work. This is not the first time this has happened. So thank you, get to “watch” the games through Twitter updates

Ok, the HBO app for Roku is TERRIBLE. Like, laughably bad. Wow.

I got a new phone and was having trouble connecting the Bluetooth to my smart tv. I thought it was the phone. Turns out @Roku is a piece of #capitalist **** and you have to buy their speakers to do this. #WhyAmISuprised #Bullshit

@OfftheMonster How are you watching? Seems to work ok on my phone and Roku smart TV. But Chromecast has been spotty.

@RokuSupport for the love of God fix your damn remote! Make one that works properly!! Wtf? How hard could it be? Ever since roku came out the remote sucked and does whatever it wants... that B.s. can u tell me why you are the only company out there that can't seem to make it work

@AllanBell247 The Spotify app on Roku prevents you from being able to watch. Just audio. Used to watch YouTube regularly. Haven't listened to him since the move. Might work out long term but for now... Doesn't look great other than his bank account

@hulu_support I’m not sure if this is a problem just for my local channel, but I can’t watch the final four on anything other than mobile. Consoles and Roku won’t load the channel but every other channel works fine

I've been emailing back and forth with Roku TV support and we still cannot figure out why the hell my TV is randomly not wanting to play certain files properly anymore I just can't imagine what would be causing buffering issues on a random MP4s via USB and Netflix

Just found out that Vizio $VZIO launched their stock recently under the radar. Their streaming server like ROKU should help them gain exponential growth in revenue. TVs isn’t what they are only doing anymore #vizio #StocksToWatch #stocks

@discoveryplus I am tired of your shows “freezing” for 15 to 20 seconds, multiple times a day! And it’s not my equipment; Hulu works fine, Paramount plus works fine, You Tube and Roku work fine. What can you tell me about this?

(@MatGilderman) reported
@Bayliss76 @BallySportsNOR @Ask_Spectrum Ugh. That’s what I figured, thanks. I just realized I can still use the FSN app with Apple TV, so I got lucky. If you have that or a Roku, that can work.

@RokuSupport @Roku still waiting to hear back. Does it really take 2 months to solve an issue??? YOUR IT dept must really be great if you can't solve an issue in 2 months. Maybe you should have it working before you release it publicly.

@hulu_support I use a Roku device and only have issues with Hulu across all the channels. No issues with Netflix, HBO or Amazon Prime, just Hulu unfortunately.

@NFHSNetwork The sound currently only seems to be an issue via my roku app. On my computer there is sound but everything else is as I said before. No score, game clock, blurry

He can either plug the PC into the TV via HDMI or cast it from the phone. Worst case, get Roku, Chromecast (the new android TV version is BANGIN) or use your video game console. @RyanMcKinnell @TheMarkHenry @BustedOpenRadio #BustedOpenTechSupport

@FanCandid I have Hulu Live, had to setup a VPN router (thank God I work in IT and have the know-how on how to do it) and then subscribe to MLB TV and have to connect my Roku to the VPN router to get around the blackouts. Still cheaper than cable.

The good news is that only 4 years after NESNgo was launched it looks like @NESN finally has an Roku app. The bad news is that it works just as well as their Android app, which is to say it doesn't work at all.

@RokuSupport Hi ROKU, Thanks for your response. After having to open a new account in order to contact customer service yesterday, I was able to reach an agent via chat. The agent and I spent a significant amount of time attempting to resolve the issue (fraud)—before we were cut off (1)
