My Chromecast just froze and reset twice in a half hour. Are we going to have a problem, @madebygoogle? Am I going to have to bump @Roku to the front of the line again?

@brayden_mcmahan My issue was the link they initially gave for activation on the Roku screen did not work. I had to go my PC where the link on their website to activate Roku was different, but actually worked. So not everything in first few hours after the switch was user error.

I can't believe it... I won't really be watching Hallmark because of this stupid 014.30 error on my Roku tv with internet that has excellent connection. @RokuSupport better fix this bug

Wow, as I praised Roku yesterday I had an issue today with the Discovery+ app crashing when I try to play a video. Had to use a FireTV. Nice.

@capnjoy It’s glitching on my Roku right now (it did a self-restart), so it’s hard to tell if it’s an app issue or device issue.

@Shudder @_WolfeLikeMe Why does 'Halloween' still have buffering issues on my Shudder Subscription, both on my Fire Stick in my room and on Roku in my living room. Been like this at least since Oct of 2020.

So far, I'm thinking Pluto TV might have fixed whatever Roku related issues it was having, cuz I've gone this long, and the Pluto TV app on Roku hasn't crashed like it usually does.

@HacktheMovies Unless it is a ROKU TV like TCL, I just use ROKU boxes on all my "smart" TV setups. I've came to conclusion the TV apps are sub-par on quality and as they get older the worse they get until they are fully unsupported.

@HBOMaxHelp @saintsnuffy TCL roku tv same problem. Scanning through episodes like a VHS (instead of Netflix methods) and the absurd difficulty of getting to an episode list are problems for me too.

@lmull3 Did your Roku had issues with other streaming services like Hulu, Disney+ or Peacock?

@VuduSupport you folks really need to look into issues with the app on Roku. It just starts going black after a bit. Super annoying. Makes using the service painful.

We're updating our ad server to improve the free-to-watch experience. This migration shouldn’t affect FIRST users or free users while using web, mobile or Roku experiences. Free users will experience playback issues while using the Xbox, Android TV, Apple TV & Fire TV apps. (1/2)

@RealSteveCox @hbomax @Roku Yep! If you are using the stick, that's the problem. Hbomax requires an upgrade.

@AppleTV @Roku Why is Apple TV not in my Roku channel store? Only "Apple TV Plus Screeners" is there. I have an existing #AppleOne subscription I can't currently use for TV. Please help. Thanks!

@theeashleyray Roku has well known issues with HBO Max app. Sound comes on, but no picture. Picture, but sound doesn't sink. Or it just crashes and closes.

@roku might actually have the worst customer service I’ve ever had to deal with. Inspect your monthly credit cards because you may have hidden charges from them!

@Ask_Spectrum I have Roku devices w/ spectrum TV app but are not working with streaming service now. So do you prefer that I go with another TV/streaming provider?
