    Hey @Roku and @prageru @DennisPrager - Did you know that apparently Roku is #blocking Prageru app? The app starts, but #anything you try watching crashes immediately and leaves you back at the main screen. Tried updating. Tried uninstall/ reinstall. Doesn't work!

    @PrachiR46315213 Mein kisi ko Kiu Roku I haven’t seen any post like that, and as I said, idc about Hania, diljit or the film. I found your statement to be dumb so that’s why I quoted your post, you should’ve been clearer about what you meant if you have a problem with me questioning it

    I have had @Roku streaming and TVs for over 7-8 years. I have currently 5 Roku TVs in my house. And I am about to dump them all. One about 6 months ago just went black screen. Fine it was cheap replaced it. Might have failed because of the issue in the recent class-action. But what is really getting me ready to leave the platform is Roku search. It always pushes the rental or paid options over what is available from the streaming services I already have. EVERYTIME. I'm looking for something to watch find a couple things in this app or that app, keep looking around decide XYZ movie is the best I'll find right now, but can't remember which out of the 5 I saw it in, go search and the options presented are paid. Half the time it doesn't even include the streaming services it knows I pay for. @Roku you are pushing too hard on your profit over the customer experience that has had me over the years adopt and standardize on. Example. Free on Peacock but these are the options you present.

    @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.

    @CoachDrewNelson I have been getting tons of notifications from @Roku. I found out on Reddit that it was a Roku tech problem, not a hacker. Hope it's the same for you.

    @peacock seriously needs to fix their subtitle problem on @roku. The subtitles just drop off and stop. I tweeted about this years ago. Luckily I am not hard of hearing but for people are, they cant watch the movie/show!

    @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

    @Hisense_USA Installed @Roku app to @GoogleTV U7 and when I record to existing Tablo drive, Tablo error = "CANNOT RECORD, DRIVE IS FULL". Had to uninstall #ROKU app and power all off, on to fix. Tv confused.

    @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.

    @hulu_support @Ann_Elyse Not having any issues with Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Peacock, Tubi, freevee, etc. Just checked with a friend who has YouTube TV. No issues there. Might be time to switch.

    @Roku The May 8, 2026 software update ****** up the HDMI CEC, so that it no longer allows me to control the VOLUME or MUTE for my audio receiver with my Roku remote. After doing a Factory Reset, it STILL doesn't work. HDMI CEC is no longer in the settings. WTF? Please FIX this ASAP!

    @hulu_support Well, my hulu live is 3 hrs behind on both ROKU and the HULU app on my LG TV. But the app on my phone is good. What's the problem?

    @Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.

    @Roku tvs are the worst. Buy anything else.

    @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.

    @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.

    . @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

    This 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

    @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.

    @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)?
