    @Ladewig I was just looking at that model! Question: do they force you to connect it to the internet before it'll work? I really don't want a smart connected tv. I just need something to display Roku and Switch.

  • cafeconleche38 gee (@cafeconleche38) reported

    i updated to ios 15 but now my airplay won't work with my roku tv and my airpods won't connect either?? lol

  • TCL_USA TCL USA (@TCL_USA) reported

    @magicnorman @Roku @netflix Hi there! Please check if your TV is currently up to date with the latest software. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the Netflix application as well to see if those issues dismiss.

  • Rod4444 Rod Henegar (@Rod4444) reported

    @UncleGMan4 @Hunter22Shannon @YouTubeTV New Roku devices cannot access YouTubeTV. I have older ones with no problems and a new one, no dice.

  • Rei_Zayaki Rei Zayaki 🍷 Host Vtuber 🌃 DEBUT LATE FALL (@Rei_Zayaki) reported

    Hanging out with @RokuChanPlays and @SpicaIllustrate at a mall and Roku just called me a Host out loud... Please help me.

  • BrentontheDL Brent D. Stump (@BrentontheDL) reported

    @YouTubeTV There's no way this is an @NBCUniversal issue. They want as many eyes on their commercials as possible. This is an issue of Google greed. Just like their beef with Roku. Lose these channels, and I'm out.

  • GoAFemslash GiftofAmber 🐥👑 (@GoAFemslash) reported

    @askparamount @paramountplus Why do we pay for a service that doesn’t work?? I STILL can’t access the Tonys via Prime Video channel on Roku on Smart TV. I even searched! The only livestream was whats on CBS & there’s no recording of the Tonys!!!!!

  • brookehorse_ brooke (@brookehorse_) reported

    @WITCHMOUSE666 things that support that are around $200 on avg, and the cheapest option ($100) requires an external hard drive to store recorded content on and doesn't work with chromecast so you'd need to either watch on your phone or get a roku/firestick in addition, the jeopardy! streaming>

  • DraganaMendel Dragana Mendel, MBA (@DraganaMendel) reported

    @skaushi "Roku has no privacy issues because consumer gives permission at setup" <--- wow, that's a huge stretch! If $ROKU starts pushing too many ads and becomes as intrusive as $FB, people will chose not to spend money on this device.

  • mobydee71 Darren Bratton (@mobydee71) reported

    my @hbomax #roku channel has updated 2 times in last week & it's still doesn't work right...When I'm watching an episode of a show & it ends I have to push the back button 4-6 times before it will go back to the main #HBOMAX menu!

  • JustineHMathews Hope (@JustineHMathews) reported

    @hbomax hello, build 51645 on the Roku and my back button seems to no longer work. From my GUI changes I'm guessing a recent update broke it? Is this a known issue?

    @netflix problems with streaming from Roku.

  • CynCyn37 😷😷 (@CynCyn37) reported

    @capthlr Agree. I’m almost there anyway with the @Roku issue. Dropping channels will be the end for me…..@YouTubeTV

  • Paulbentley1981 Paul Andrew Bentley (@Paulbentley1981) reported

    @SupaDupaQQ I have multiple chromecasts use them all the time have tried firestick/Roku but always end up going back to chromecast they just work everytime would definitely recommend

  • SleepyJustin1 Sleepy_Justin (@SleepyJustin1) reported

    @Trash__Baby PS4 app, I've been told some apps work better than others but that the PS4 and Roku app were botched before this last update. Before I straight up couldn't rewind, fast forward or pause without having numerous problems and the app eventually just crashing. Works fine now though.

  • CostSegAdvisor James Reid (JLR!) (@CostSegAdvisor) reported

    @StatBoyDrew Originally had Roku (l2013 now retired) then got two FireTV. WiFi was terrible in apt so wife wanted AppleTV because daughter in DC had one. Then got TV with new Roku and two more FireTV • 1 Roku / AppleTV one TV • 4 FireTV • trusty: ustvgo dot TV for iPad, phone, other

    Why do none of my other headphones work with your control anymore, @Roku? I used to be able to plug in my @beatsbydre & it works amazing. But now it will only take @JBLaudio headphones it came with the control. #RokuHelp #Confused

  • knapplc knapplc (@knapplc) reported

    Anyone having trouble with Netflix on the Roku tonight?

  • upthecatpunx courtney (@upthecatpunx) reported

    I’ve been able to watch maybe 10 mins of Foundation because the Apple app on Roku just doesn’t wanna work. Just don’t offer something if you’re gonna make it impossible to use? I had these issues last year too, so it isn’t just now/this show/my internet.

  • Bubblyshell ❤Shell ❤ (@Bubblyshell) reported

    @Roku I am struggling to watch Netflix on my new roku stick it comes up with an error message of nw-4-8

  • haleyL92 Haley Lynn (@haleyL92) reported

    @hulu_support can’t watch anything on Hulu on my Roku without 15mins in it tells me “we’re having trouble playing that.” ALL DAY 😭

  • raven8549 Nicoletta Maria (@raven8549) reported

    @Roku The green leaves. Can roku fix its streaming stick. Like all the apps have been crashing lately. #ROKU @Roku

  • reynoldstop20 Steve Reynolds (@reynoldstop20) reported

    @TVMoJoe @hbomax @Roku Ah, that’s why the profile screen and the loading icons look different. It worked so much better this weekend than the last few months. (Now if we only knew why the Apple TV app on Roku refuses to work. Had to improvise to watch Ted Lasso this weekend.)

  • grilledfishcake 𝔐𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔟𝔬𝔞𝔯𝔡 (@grilledfishcake) reported

    If you ever need to rewind something on Roku, no you do not! It will crash every time 😎 I love it here

  • Rod4444 Rod Henegar (@Rod4444) reported

    @MikeMarkz @Hunter22Shannon @YouTubeTV New Roku devices cannot access YouTubeTV. I have older ones with no problems and a new one, no dice.

  • tre0808 Trelynda Kerr (@tre0808) reported

    @AmyArgetsinger Lol! If you are on your tv that has roku , with your remote hit the home button, then click on search, then type in the channel you are looking for. Then install it, if not already installed. Then go to app and sign in! Then you will be good to go lol

  • aenlander Abi Renalne (@aenlander) reported

    @RokuSupport I have a new Express Roku and keep getting error message when trying to add channels. WiFi connection is good and I've tried a factory reset - any suggestions?

  • BeEasy_LiveLife Eastside Slim (@BeEasy_LiveLife) reported

    Don’t understand why an app will work on my living room tv but not on my bedroom tv. Both roku’ & on the same internet

  • RobDesignated DesignatedRob (@RobDesignated) reported

    Hey @Roku, why is your customer support trying to tell people that this 4 year old "app cannot install" issue is "brand new" and will be "resolved soon"? Def never buying yalls **** again

  • LifeInAFishbowl Danny 🇺🇸⚾️🍕🤪 (@LifeInAFishbowl) reported

    Spent the last 2 hours with three different @Roku boxes trying to get the stupid ******* software "updates" to work and "restart" so it will work. Three different boxes. Not worth a ****. I've had to make multiple trips to Target. This stuff sucks.
