    @BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.

    Taking out the remainder of my Amazon Fire Cube controllers @amazon I have 3 and I thought they would all work well. Tried one Roku Stick and it is a much better experience. Too much advertising and useless stuff on Fire Cube plus it never really worked that well with You Tube TV. @Roku

    @red_chem_lite @Roku My yorkie used to chew and we got bitters spray. That helped her a lot. Now she only chews on her toys. My other dog the bitters spray didn’t work as well but he eventually grew out of the chewing phase after a year or two. Maybe try the bitters spray on the remote cover?

    @Roku Who do I need to contact about an issue with a commercial on your service? My mother saw an ad for a assistance card, and since she did that, she has been getting non stop spam calls meaning a commercial on YOUR service sold her phone number.

    @Roku I HATE this update. I want control of WHAT I see on m6 homescreen. I have to scroll down the page past a bunch of crap to see MY APPS. Fix this now!

    @Roku Trying to get ahold of Support on Roku is impossible anymore They have a chat section that doesn't work when pressed, I canceled my trial offer and still get charged for a month's worth! I think I'm going to have to end Roku now

    @Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.

    @red_chem_lite @Roku Did you try the anti-nail biting pen I mentioned last time? LoL I'm just INSANELY curious if it would work...

    @roku @YouTube problem with private listening on iPhone app. If you get a call, or switch to IG for a minute, anything that requires sound, YouTube will pause and then when you close whatever that app is YouTube resumes but automatically restarts the video from the beginning.

    @Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE

    @Roku FoxOne on the Roku Channel does not work; Fox apparently cannot stream the games to Roku. It isn't Roku's fault, but why am I paying $20 a month?

  • burownidl01

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now

    @Hisense_USA So I call Hisense and they were helpful but didn't fix the problem. They referred me to @Roku support. After a brief time on the phone with them the issue was corrected. Both were helpful which frankly is surprising these days.

    @RaceCanada_ca @TSN_Sports @Roku (realistically, I'm guessing there was some kind of error and one that was actually expertly quickly fixed... but still, that damn near made my heart stop)

    @Roku It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. I should be able to arrange my home screen the way I want to.

    Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported

    @Roku after being a long time customer for over 15 years and bought over 15 devices from you, the best you can offer is 30% off when one of your most expensive devices stops working because of a hardware issue?!?! Not to mention terrible customer support!!!

  • Squirdlok
    Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported

    @RepTheDMV @livenowfox Good eye. I am also terribly upset by the piss-poor quality of the breaks on the ROKU Channel. Chopped all to Hell! Does @Roku let AI run it's board? High-School rookies could do a better job!

    @Roku You should be concentrating on making your site work. The app doesn't work & your website doesn't work either
