    This is why I'm so pissed at @Roku and one of the examples i gave in my posts another multi billion dollar company that somehow can't get a website to work right yet has millions in testing hardware or at least millions available to test the site before rollout but thats too hard

    @Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.

    Since when is the Roku remote app behind a paywall? My remote is broken and I can’t turn down the volume or turn off the TV and I don’t wanna pay $8.99 like are yall crazy ? 🤨 @Roku

    @tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!

    @MLB can you please fix your streaming app for @Roku and Apple TV so they don’t suck? EVERY SINGLE game I watch on ANY of my streaming devices stops at least 3-4 times per game with spinning circle of death. No other apps have buffering problems on my 1GB line and mesh WiFi.

    @Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers

    @Roku The problem is that Roku is getting a kickback for recommending shows that no one watches, plus we already know what they are going to watch.

    @amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku

    @EarperMarine @Roku Are other people having the same problem? It's a Roku and/or TV programming issue that affects the apps running on it. Jeez...what a pain...I'm sure. 😳

  • Starko2341
    Starko (@Starko2341) reported

    @ojkoj @Roku *Exact* same problem with all my HDMI inputs, I have three consoles and it started after the recent update. I thought my TV was going bad. Someone suggested going to the input from the Nav menu rather than the button on the home screen. I will try that tonight.

    @Roku I’m trying to cancel my subscription to @AngelStudiosInc every time I try to, tells me I got no subscriptions with you. I got a few. Angel says I can’t cancel because I gotta go through yall. Help.

    Taking out the remainder of my Amazon Fire Cube controllers @amazon I have 3 and I thought they would all work well. Tried one Roku Stick and it is a much better experience. Too much advertising and useless stuff on Fire Cube plus it never really worked that well with You Tube TV. @Roku

  • __kbolaydiggs__
    ky baby (@__kbolaydiggs__) reported

    @Roku might be the worst TV brand ever. Remotes never work, when you try to use a mobile remote it can never connect to the TV.. Let’s get it together.

    @Roku after being a long time customer for over 15 years and bought over 15 devices from you, the best you can offer is 30% off when one of your most expensive devices stops working because of a hardware issue?!?! Not to mention terrible customer support!!!

  • iii_lonell
    Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported

    @Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE

    @Roku I've had a #Roku account for five plus years. Now I can't login/connect to My @amazonfiretv because of your ridiculous captcha and login failure. Ridiculous.

  • LoveMyFFAJacket

    @Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.

  • sandiek
    sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reported

    the new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.

  • MLandry70

    Are there any good music apps that work on @Roku? Because the @amazonmusic app just plays completely random songs no matter which song I actually select.

    @KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.

    @SaThomas__ I get it with every “smart” tv. Roku, Google, the Amazon thing… they all stink. Same class. All annoying. @Roku is no different to me. I had no problems with OTA tv, js

    @Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?

    Still no help on this btw @Roku

    @Roku for the love of GOD STOP CHANGING OUR HOME MENUS AND SETTINGS I did not need every single one of my tv input options forced into my app section with no way of removing them Your “help” is not appreciated

    @red_chem_lite @Roku You need a zapper for when they touch it, they will learn which. Our friends have two boxers that were like this and within the week they were broken.

    @Roku how come I can’t create an account and I only have to sign in as a guest!? what kind of stupid set up is this?

  • northroadcreate

    Why isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!
