@tdya888 @65_pastek @team3dstocks well for me its about 10months. my losses are slowing down more like break even. So what changed ? I don't trade everyday. I wake up, look at my momo stocks TSLA ROKU etc then small caps if A plus setup is highly likely, I stay. If not back to bed or work.

@gleppps The roku tv. My issues with it are not being able to skip intros, go to the next episode without backing out of the video player, having the ********* bar cover subtitles when you pause it and making me restart the whole streaming service every once in a while to make it work

@VIZIO what format/codec do video files need to be in, to play from a USB flash drive On your TVs? I’ve tried several common export settings and none of them work. (Mind you they work flawlessly on @Roku TVs)

@Sling Your Roku app is illogical beyond belief as I have now missed multiple Olympic events (and had results spoiled as well) as my scheduled overnight recordings did not record/retain as expected. This is extremely upsetting and might be the final straw…. Please fix this!!!

I am growing increasingly frustrated with the @hbomax app on my Roku continously either not working, Or just outright crashing. Its been weeks of this now, And my patience is wearing thin. There really needs to be a Update rolling out soon to fix this, Or I may have to drop it.

Why is the HBOMAX app so terrible? Seriously, I have tried it on a couple of new Samsung TVs, a newer Roku, a tablet. They all just crash, freeze, and lead to more frustration than it’s worth. I’m about done with it.

Idk what @hulu did to their Roku TV app but it's borderline unusable. App hangs and crashes causing TV to restart almost every time I start a show. Honestly think I'm just gonna cancel my subscription at this point

@askparamount you need to fix your Roku and PlayStation app. Every couple of days it lags or just closes itself out.

@peacockTV Yeah, if there was any video. I haven't been able to see any video (menus and other UI work; video always black on Apple TV) tonight. Also can't log in on my Roku with the same login as my Apple TV where I started my subscription. This has been something of a disaster.

Hi @MadeByGoogle & @Google I wish Google Devices like the Chromecast with GoogleTV were easier to enable TalkBack & other accessibility tools as it is on a TCL Roku TV. One only needs to push the option button on the remote 4 times to turn on. I can setup TV no help needed.

@hbomax are you guys ever going to fix your app? Been over a year and it’s basically unusable on Roku and PlayStation. All the other streaming apps work every time. Yours works some of the time.

@NOW I still have this issue & the error code isn’t listed. I have recently changed my password and PIN to prevent someone else using my account but neither my box or Roku stick have asked me to re-sign in with the new details. I can’t find where to sign in/out?
