-
Bob S. (@_Bob_S) reported@Hisense_USA Installed @Roku app to @GoogleTV U7 and when I record to existing Tablo drive, Tablo error = "CANNOT RECORD, DRIVE IS FULL". Had to uninstall #ROKU app and power all off, on to fix. Tv confused.
-
xprezeu (@xprezeu63204) reported@Roku I was going to join today but your app doesn’t say much. Yiu cannot chat because of bats in Apple phones. Does it work on Verizon ? I have no idea what a subscription is or how much it is. Get a new a manager. I’ll find something else I guess.
-
Ben Goertz (@bgoertz08) reported@Roku Please please please, fix the PVR on my Roku 65 TV. This update has ruined it. DM me for details.
-
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.
-
Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reportedThis entire @F1 and @Apple agreement has been fine broadcast wise but it's this entire bullshit around it being forced into another subscription, lagging latency when using a smart TV, and crap. Just give me my F1 app on @Roku with a single sign in and one reasonable subscription
-
Reigh S. (@ILoveIdahoSpuds) reported@Roku hello, whatever forced update that was just received by my Ultra just bricked my device. Factory reset not working. Error 023.4. “Reset to factory settings” fails. Any suggestions?
-
All Late Models (@AllLateModels) reportedI’m getting an error code for @FloRacing on the @Roku app. Anybody else having problems??
-
Bill Foody (@CnsmrsFightBack) reported@Roku dipshits, your new "backdrops" screensaver doesn't work. It just hangs on the splashscreen on Roku TV #incompetent
-
Greg (@Xuser784) reported@Roku system keeps crashing. This is a new issue as of today.
-
Hi, I am Daniel (@bigbroncosfan) reportedUgh. What did @Roku do to their interface? It is unusable.
-
Rodrigo Torres Muñoz (@rodritorres_81) reported@DisneyPlus I'm havig this issue several times now, I't started with @Roku devices and @Roku Tv's at home saying we were not in the same household that I should update my household, so I logged off from all devices, nothing same problem 1/2
-
YourHead Drone (@DronePremier) reported@daisy_musician @paramountplus @Roku Paramount is the only one we had issues with. Appears it was a Walmart plus issue for us.
-
Old Cynic (@SorryImDeadTru) reportedI have had @Roku streaming and TVs for over 7-8 years. I have currently 5 Roku TVs in my house. And I am about to dump them all. One about 6 months ago just went black screen. Fine it was cheap replaced it. Might have failed because of the issue in the recent class-action. But what is really getting me ready to leave the platform is Roku search. It always pushes the rental or paid options over what is available from the streaming services I already have. EVERYTIME. I'm looking for something to watch find a couple things in this app or that app, keep looking around decide XYZ movie is the best I'll find right now, but can't remember which out of the 5 I saw it in, go search and the options presented are paid. Half the time it doesn't even include the streaming services it knows I pay for. @Roku you are pushing too hard on your profit over the customer experience that has had me over the years adopt and standardize on. Example. Free on Peacock but these are the options you present.
-
Alex Spicola (@AlexSpicola) reported@RokuSupport @Roku HELP!!! - My subscription support ticket (#13949322) was escalated but I haven’t received any updates. Can someone please check the status and advise on next steps?
-
((MS__no__nothing)) 👨🦼🎗💙🔯 (@msnonothing1) reported@Roku FIX your apps already. ViaPlay, Howdy. Hire some good techs & earn your money. Two days now. Shame on you. @RokuSupport & tell your AI bot what go sod yourself means...
-
Ki (@Ki_fun_thoughts) reported@Ask_Spectrum I noticed a bill for $115 MORE on my Spectrum. Turns out, without getting my permission, anyone can add TV services from their TV. Spectrum blamed @Roku - NOT Roku's fault! This is 100% Spectrum ALLOWING my credit card to be billed. Yo Spectrum, FIX IT!
-
Brittney (@hope_britt) reported@DIRECTV & @Roku rcount your days! Why would you allow a customer to sign up via Roku and thru your services for the same exact product. Why tf would i sign up for the same sorry *** service twice! & for @Roku not to issue refunds after I’ve been charged twice is crazy
-
Lmn (@lmn071966) reported@Roku @AppleTV @TheRokuChannel No more subscriptions until you fix this live tv BS!
-
V@rified Packer Fan (@zhotster) reported@CoachDrewNelson I have been getting tons of notifications from @Roku. I found out on Reddit that it was a Roku tech problem, not a hacker. Hope it's the same for you.
-
. (@InfraCards) reported@YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.
-
Samantha (@Samanthawood2k) reported@Roku Yes I have, but it didn’t work.
-
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 ?
-
RyanS (@RyShan24) reported@rumblevideo I have a brand new @Roku tv and can’t watch your podcasts on any speed but 1 fix that ****!
-
Mary McNeight (@ServiceDogAcdmy) reported@Roku What the HECK did you do to live tv pause? There is no way to fast forward and see where you are in the program. You’ve literally broken the best feature of having a Roku TV.
-
MrScottFletcher (@MrScottFletcher) reported@Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.
-
Andy Hayes (@ahayes7) reportedNeed help from @DisneyPlus and @Roku ! My 4 year old son was pushing buttons and now I’m getting charged $12.99 a month. Need help stopping and reversing this!
-
Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedI'll NEVER buy another @Roku TV. Mom's is 8 years old and it was fine. Turn it on, it had all her channel numbers on antenna. Recently it's "updated" with no channel numbers, no way to just have antenna channels, and she wants to replace it because it's "broken". Garbage product.
-
Javier 🌱 (@janilom81) reported@foxone @FIFAWorldCup My apologies Fox. The app issue is on @Roku.
-
Phil Raddiches (@thesportsbill) reported@Roku new app sucks. Terrible UI
