    @Roku So about that redesign…how about you stop repopulating my Quick Access section with crap I don’t want/have after I’ve removed everything I don’t want or use? You’ve done it THREE TIMES NOW, and I don’t appreciate having my time wasted as I go back in and delete everything but my YouTube App, which is all that I use on this TV! section with yet more channels I have never used, and shoved YouTube back to the end, again. later. So how do I fix this PERMANENTLY? You can put whatever you want to after the YouTube app, but It’s MY interface, you give us the option to customize it, and while it’s not life ending to have to click several times to get to what took 2 clicks before, it’s very aggravating and I don’t appreciate the level of arrogance that a company displays when they undo the changes I made to shove stuff I don’t want down my throat. I’d appreciate a response, this is ludicrous. So please, help

    @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.

    @DeadCarnival @Roku It’s crazy how @Roku doesn’t realize that a clean interface is their one best quality. I am tired of having to turn off the same unwanted features over and over again. And with the latest crappy update, I’m stuck with a lot of junk that can’t be turned off. Awful.

    @Roku is there a reason why your devices stopped connecting to WIFI? And is this a regional issue? I could connect to the Hotspot on my iPhone. But I can’t connect WIFI to the device. I’ve tried multiple WIFI from different ISPs.

    @Roku Are you guys having some kind of outage? One of my devices failed to update... I factory reset it and now cannot add Apps. Your web site says there is a known issue. How about an update?

    @Roku Im interrupting your post to bring something to your attention. I have been a loyal customer for years. Recently, your billing department has billed my credit card several times a month. I've called to complain but get nothing but a bad attitude. Perhaps you can help me.

  • ILoveIdahoSpuds

    @Roku hello, whatever forced update that was just received by my Ultra just bricked my device. Factory reset not working. Error 023.4. “Reset to factory settings” fails. Any suggestions?

  • Cakefacethedad
    David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported from Rome, Latium

    Dear @Spotify and @Roku , It has come to my attention that @Google is regulalrly attacking my Roku streaming device. The first time I installed a Chromecast in the house, my Google Play functionality immediately disappeared from my Roku player. I was forced to use the YouTube app, but could only see movies I had purchased, no TV shows. Recently, I tried connecting the Chromecast to our new wifi. It said I needed to donload the Google Home app to change the wifi, so I did. From that point on, anytime I watch a podcast on Spotify, the video will not work. None of this is a problem on my phone, sitting in the same room, usung rhe same accounts on the same wifi. The common denominators here are me installing or updating something on my Google Chromecast and instantly having a major, negative change to my Roku streaming box. How is this legal? Why is Google allowed to attack my Roku player and disable functionality from other apps?

    Trying to change the batteries in my @Roku remote for the first time. Except there is a lip at the bottom of where the batteries go, I am sure to help prevent them from popping out on accident...BUT HOW THE HELL DO I GET THEM OUT ON PURPOSE.

    Gee, thanks @Roku. Randomly today we get hit with hdcp errors on a setup that has worked fine for years, and the solution is just to move to a different hdmi port on the TV. You are the reason why people pirate.

    @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
