Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@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

What good are notebooks? (@Zaack23) reported@LMDhusky2023 @discoveryplus @FIAWEC Discovery+ isn't stable on the Roku either. It simply does not adjust bandwidth ever; I proved it on the PC with some technicals and Discovery's answer was "use tethering on your PC to force it into mobile mode." Which a) won't work and b) what ********?

-
Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reportedThis entire @F1 and @Apple agreement has been fine broadcast wise but it's this entire bullshit around it being forced into another subscription, lagging latency when using a smart TV, and crap. Just give me my F1 app on @Roku with a single sign in and one reasonable subscription
-
NESN Support (@NESNSupport) reported@JackODonohue @NESN @NESNsucks Hi, this issue was fixed in the Roku version 3.9 update. Please update your Roku device to the new version and restart. Thank you

💫👁🗨JaxBeachLady222👁🗨😘 (@JaxBeachLady222) reported@Mickultra12 @comcast @Xfinity I don't seem to have a problem with connecting but I have to unplug the Roku every day - then reactivate it and then plug it back in - Very strange. 🤔
-
Rocío (@Gotitadeamor) reportedI don't know why @MLB gave @PIX11News any games when they don't have the infrastructure to actually allow people to watch the game on a TV with a fire cube, Roku etc. Their rinky **** website plus the stupid web browsers on the TV and the fire cube don't work. Let SNY carry it!

Al Horford Pacino (@alpacinogrunt) reported@MLBTV FIX YOUR ******* ROKU APP. JESUS

shelbzilla (@_shelbzilla) reportedyoutube forcing all brand accounts to be shown on roku is very annoying. i thought for sure they would fix that but it's been like 2 years. i should be able to choose which of my accounts are visible!
-
✨imtamikalee ©™ (@imtamikalee) reportedThis 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!
-
Sarah with an h (@SarahDoesKC) reportedThis is a total first world problem, but I lose my mind that it takes 12 minutes and 85 clicks to finally get to the show I’m trying to watch and one accidental step of my dog to wind up on Roku Greatest Hits.
-
Shakingmyhead (@mitchroachmr2) reported@paramountplus @ufc is not working on any @Roku devices. Works perfectly on my iPhone. Figure it out! I’ve completed all troubleshooting possibilities.
-
Matt Clapp (@TheBlogfines) reported@cbailsvcu And you didn't even see a Roku time slot on there. Those are the worst.
-
WedNightDinner (@DinnerWed) reported.@Roku why do i keep getting an error message when i try to exit out of the guest sign in screen?
-
. (@InfraCards) reported@YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.
-
austin bb (@popespeed) reported@Sling on @Roku Sling channels with scoreboard inset (e.g. ESPN), the Roku "*" function button does not work (to bring up menu to adjust brightness/other settings). Have to exit to a different channel before I can adjust settings. Is there a fix (or way to disable scoreboards)?
-
The wanderer (@thewanderer2020) reported@Fightincowboy @Crunchyroll My back button isn’t working anywhere on any Roku remote. Multiple TVs with the same issue. @Roku
-
Alan Taylor (@Alan_Taylor_314) reported@VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

Mike.🇨🇦🇳🇱🚛🚚HonkHonkSpeakToMy🥑Avocado🥑 (@MikeP77Doglover) reportedI'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.
