    @RantsByDesign We have both, a Roku TV (a type of smart TV that connects directly via wireless to the net) and Roku sticks which can make almost any tv into a smart tv. Weve used them for years with no issues. If you still want live TV on Roku, you can get Sling. It's an app.

    @mousterpiece I switched to fire stick from roku and still have trouble even logging into it. HBO support was worthless. People mostly chase the content, but Hulu, HBO, and Disney would all be helped by putting a little (lot?) more money into their app/interface. Netflix is far ahead there.

    @SneakerHeadMo Roku is awful IMO and I don’t see the point of an Apple TV....I think all my TVs are Amazon except 1, it’s an LG

    @RyanSprague51 Now, if they'd just get their issues with Roku figured out, I'd be all set.

    If my Roku tv is glitching do I need to buy a new one? Idk how to fix it. The software says it’s up to date 😩 and I’m really only having a problem with the Netflix app. Sometimes Hulu

    @JensHMadsen I have a Roku as well. With most of the apps built into TVs now, and even using a harmony remote, still too many devices. The problem is some channels TVs don't support (CBS All Access need my Start Trek fix)

    @Harvestmma777 Ah, that blows. Spotify app is ****. Especially on Windows. They're gonna have to make some improvements or they're gonna lose some listeners. Just found out it doesn't work with my Roku either. Sucks.

    @SIRIUSXM why does the Roku app consistently lose its login credentials? This has happened for a week straight.

    It took me this long into the pandemic to realize that I can AirPlay video conferencing services to my @Roku TV from my Mac (I use a PC for work).

    @ScottPaterno @DIRECTV Go to foxsports app on tv/roku. Sign in to directv and you can stream. Yeah frustrating though.

    @KeithMalinak @BlazeTV It won’t let me sign in with my Blaze email & password. Just Roku and that’s not how I paid for my subscription.

    @ATT @hbomax @wbpictures Wanna see it bad & HBO won't let me. Botched streaming service release unavailable on the 2 largest platforms (Roku and Amazon). Corp employees got $ to do zero work & did a pitiful launch. Then they get mad a low subscriber numbers & have no one 2 blame but themselves #hbomax

    @ArmyStrang Am I the only a-hole who has constant technical issues with Roku devices? Everything from remotes not working to none of my apps working. Apple TV's sound sucks. Firestick's UI is a nightmare, but the device does actually work.

    @roku My remote on my fairly new Roku just stopped working. There is nothing on your support page that addresses this, and your phone number directs everyone to the support page. I can't even use my other Roku remote on this TV, so it is dead. Please help.

    @LukePlunkett I saw @roku was pushing some kind of related Ryan show on their main menu a few weeks back.. Their whole toy-marketing-to-kids-on-youtube empire is blocked in our house. ALL their channels. The worst kind of "content" for children.
