Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ken Kallembach (@imken24) reported@Roku Nevermind. Not only do you refuse to help, but you completely reformat the home screen to “suggest” 20 different apps or shows and only show 1/3 of my installed apps so I have to search for them. You’re useless. **** off. Buying Firesticks Saturday.
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku asking for a private message is ridiculous. Roku knows exactly what the problems are as it has been widely reported and complaints are numerous. Almost no Roku owner has not been touched by the new update. Slow apps, apps that will not open, unable to download new apps.
-
Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported@Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?
-
MrRamone420 (@MrRamone420) reported@Roku It changed over today and it's absolutely terrible. Everything is all over the place and has messed up my apps and home screen. How do I change it back, cause I'm just getting rid of this TV and will avoid using Roku system and products. You know how to lose customers
-
DonJuan391 (@DonJuan391) reportedWhy is the @AMC_TV plus app not working on @Roku AMC Plus not working on Roku TV has been a problem for a while now.
-
Meghan S (@DrMeghanS) reported@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?
-
Smigman (@Smigman1) reported@Roku ROKU got rid of their community support forum. Their TVs are now like the rest. When buying my next one, it will be which one has my apps and which one has the best price and picture quality. The support forum was a huge plus. Goodbye Roku.
-
The TV Answer Man: Making Television Easy Again. (@TVForSeniors) reported@MatthewKeysLive @Roku Most TVs today are purposely not built to last. The industry decided long ago to stress quantity over quality.
-
Hammer Hains, The Fud Dude (@HammerHeadcases) reported@Roku @Country2018gal We've had the same issue recently.
-
Benji (@BenjiShaw7) reported@Roku Fix your new homescreen. Its takes almost a dozen button presses compared to 2-3. This update is ****. Fix it or give us the option before I replace this thing.
-
Mitch (@MizNizzle) reported@hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.
-
cyberale60 (@cyberale60) reported@Roku It’s terrible for people with vision issues. The icons are too small. It was better the way it was with the large icons
-
trapuh (@trapuh) reported@Roku Problem started July 5th I’ve tried everything, sound still works but tv screen is still like the picture above, I’ve seen on Reddit that your tvs do this to plenty of people i don’t think anybody has a fix for it yet
-
Nick Boonstra (@ARealBoon) reported@paramountplus @Roku @RokuSupport Paramount Plus support already told me they can't help, I just paid for a subscription and it won't connect
-
Buttery Duck (@Nauseum62) reported@Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@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
-
Sanah (@sanahbequiet) reportedHad to buy another Roku stick cause mines just randomly stop working like first it was my Roku tv now it’s the stick like Roku is the problem g I’m so irritated @Roku get y’all’s **** together
-
UnfinishedOwl (@UnfinishedOwl) reportedman, @Roku has absolutely destroyed my TV. almost totally unusable
-
Sydney 👑 (@LoveMyFFAJacket) reported@Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.
-
Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported@Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv
-
whipofcords (@whipofcords) reported@TCL_USA @Roku these new updates suck! Fix it!!, now my tv just shuts off, when ever it wants!
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku please fix your data on live tv. Several streams show NO DATA AVAILABLE. It’s frustrating not knowing what you’re watching or when something you might want to see is coming on. This problem didn’t exist before. Get the info back please. Thank you
-
Kris G. (@Gundament) reported@Roku Hey can you guys fix a bug on your new Home Screen? When you click on the inputs from the home screen shortcuts, we are getting a green and blue lines all over the screen. But when we click the Inputs from the "Input List" tab, they work fine. Please fix in the next update.
-
Kelly Jones (@skjones_65) reported@Roku your latest software update / redesign is quite bad. Is the intention to slow our devices down so we'll have to buy new ones? Please revert to the way it was or modify so our devices will not be so slow and almost unusable. New does not equal better.
-
Cricket (@horseful) reported@Roku what the hell is the point of the 'continue watching' list when you back up my video by 25 minutes????!!!!!!! FIX THAT. THERE'S ENOUGH STUPID **** IN MY LIFE ALREADY.😡😡😡😡
-
George H Frost III (@ghfrost3) reportedSo I pay for a subscription on @Roku payment goes through they get the money. Subscription does not work. @Roku is good at taking the money but… that’s where their part ends taking the $$. **** doesn’t work and zero real support. You ******* suck and I’m going back to cable.
-
1 (@dolphin4321) reported@Roku I've had a #Roku account for five plus years. Now I can't login/connect to My @amazonfiretv because of your ridiculous captcha and login failure. Ridiculous.
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@Roku @Ka_Le_Jo How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!
-

-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reportedSo @Roku just not going to address the issue they cause on the TCL and I assuming other TV’s with that horrible update or fix it? I am tired of having to reset things to get i to recognize the HDMI ports or them not be corrupted every day since.
