    @roku What is wrong with your VIAPLAY app? It works fine on my Fire TV. FIX it, or cancel and refund my money. DM for details.

    @AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.

    Anyone else while watching #wrestlemania after a commercial break, it goes back to the beginning of the match that just ended or just a different part in general! watching on @Roku fix this, I'm tired of fast forwarding, then watching another 4-5 mins of ads then back to Mania!

    @Roku Idk what is going on with this stupid TV ive only had a year! But I come home and all my streaming apps are gone and when I add them back Its giving me a error message!!!!!!! Never again

    @BioMathJason @Roku @TCL_Global Yes, that's the way it is supposed to work, and has worked for the 5 years I've owned this tv. TCL did an update the early part of this year that removed the ability to watch OTA without internet. They did send a fix for most customers after the backlash, but many are still twisting in the wind. Their LiveTv is the culprit.

    @YouTube @RokuSupport @Roku Also when watching YouTube and listening on private listening the controls on the iPhone app don't work either. You can't pause a video replay a video backspace you can't exit nothing you can see your finger moving on the pad but it doesn't do anything. Only w YT

    @Roku @calvinbrain97 I have a issue with it. On several Roku’s and EXCLUSIVELY ON SPECTRUM app, the closed caption feature just stops working even though it says it ON. And it’s in ALL programs and channels on the app. WTF. I have to exit app, load something else then come back to Spectrum to fix

    @thatoneguychaz @FOXSoccer @Roku Fox One is a hot mess. They seem to have blown it on capacity planning. A Grok survey of complaints confirms the issues are multi platform. Roku has a 100 million user base so they are going to get mentioned more than others, but it's cross platform. If there's something roku can do to help fix thst would be great though. The games on Fox over the air have worked just fine. This is when having a $40 Walmart antenna or even better a Tablo antenna tuner/dvr is helpful. The problem is they seem to have 37 games scheduled for streaming only.

    @Roku you SOB, you used to have some of the most seasoned and easy to work with tech support operators out there - now you trying to be sneaky, transferring us from one dog **** clanker to another. 😭

  • ServiceDogAcdmy
    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.

    @PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home. My ROKU is running software version 15.1.4 Build 3321. Yes I've restarted the unit and no it doesn't help. Your app is version 5.45 Build 3 I've cleared the ROKU cache, removed & reinstalled your app.

    @Roku @raizalicea Roku is still broken. My continue watching has necroed shows I've completed over a year ago, and still has items i cannot remove. I get it, you guys have no real competition so there's no reason to worry about quality or reliability.... Just outsource it to programmers that know

    @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

    @Roku I just lost my job & started poring over every dollar going out. That’s when I found I’d paid $269.78 in monthlies for ESPN. Which I didn’t order & never watched in my life. Cancelled but could only get a month refund. I should’ve noticed, but didn’t. Please help.
