    @DanHogan95 I’ve had it for 2+ years and haven’t ever had an issue. I use it via my Roku TV.

    @RokuSupport Is there currently an outage? An automatic update on my Roku device keeps failing.

    A lot of times when you sync up using activation Codes they let you choose your device, Roku or @amazonfiretv. That would help here! :) @Xfinity

    Does anyone know someone with experience building a Roku app? I find a bunch of people who are down for the work until they find out it's for a rental app and not AVOD. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm currently watching the YouTube algorithms rebuild my profile. I just got a new Roku, didn't sign in but they're pushing me stuff that's narrowing down who I really am based on the information they have. Very interesting.

    @RokuSupport @Roku I’ve emailed 5x on case 00135722 and then yesterday I got an email asking if I still need help. Still need help- thanks!

    @Roku when do you think you'll get this audio issue figured out? getting real annoying to have to stop and restart because of the audio glitches

    @Roku so I bought a 4k device and I've had nothing but issues as it drops video and goes to main screen. I have 1gb wifi and am 10 ft from router, what can I do?

    . @CBSNews what's going on with the CBS News app on @Roku . Only a few videos in the main area, Sunday Morning area has no videos, lastest eps of 48 HRS and 60 Minutes not loaded. Please fix. #CBSNews #ROKU

    @DIRECTV I did the trial and I have some feedback on what would win me (and I assume others) over from @YouTubeTV. I use @Roku and the left and right buttons for changing channels instead of rewind and fast forward is the worst. Also allowing 3 streams outside but only 2 from TVs is dumb.

  • InfraCards

    @YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.

    @Roku I need a human to talk to please and thank you. I’ve gone online and the app for help to no avail. Unable to Update Error 023.2 Wi-Fi & internet working fine

    This is such an inconvenience especially for the money I paid. I contacted customer service so assistance only to be rerouted to get tech help with a fee. I googled if this was normal and there are SO many complaints about TCL Roku tvs blackscreening!

    Crunchyroll has the worst roku app ever. At this point they are better off not offering it at all

    @hulu_support Hulu live is down AGAIN on all platforms - Roku, app, etc. I've tried all of your steps and nothing works . . . the problem is on your end not the customer!

    @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

    @Prime_KD @Apple I think it might be a @Roku problem. I can stream on the Apple app on my phone and directly through the TV, but the Roku app crashes.

    @DisneyPlus Your Roku TV App won't work. Anything I try to watch comes up as a black screen. I can see things when fast forwarding/rewinding, but playing is a black screen. I did not just renew for the month to not watch your programming you know.

    @TCL_Global @PlayStation Turns out it was @Roku's new screen Trial. If this issue happens to you, go into TV Settings > Home Screen and disable the Screen Trial that is listed in there. Fix my issue right away.

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Keep getting connection issue error and telling me to check my connection, then it dumps me back to main Roku menu. Connection is fine. I have no problems with other apps, just with Roku Channel. I have checked for updates and rebooted. Still getting error.

    @roku @Walmart Do any of you care that the updated pushed out to the tvs have effectively bricked them? Having to turn a TV off and back on to change a channel is ridiculous. Fix your software!

    @Ask_Spectrum @Roku funny the last rep I posed this to hadn't heard about this problem. My brother was going nuts & pressed every button & found out you guys moved it. It's now the 10 second rewind button. So never mind. But you can add this bit of knowledge to your repertoire.

    @russ998 @Thrones_Facts I buy the cheapest Roku TV’s that Walmart/target sell in their respective sizes, and I did not have any issues seeing what was happening.

    Brittney (@hope_britt) reported

    @DIRECTV & @Roku count 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

    @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.
