Roku Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AdventureCap3 AdventureCapitalist (@AdventureCap3) reported

    @OphirGottlieb And people still say Google is a threat to Roku in CTV. If Netflix turned them down for Microsoft, then Google must be awful.

  • moshpitmagic Ryan Katz (@moshpitmagic) reported

    @JThrock45_ I never have any issues streaming on Roku.

  • snare_ebooks Fear Jim (@snare_ebooks) reported

    Hail, VPN's just broken and the Roku doesn't deal with it well

  • LFTGLF4 Stand4Flag&NA (@LFTGLF4) reported

    @RokuSupport NO! the AcornTV "channel" is the only one affected. Now you are going to say the issue is with AcornTV. WRONG! The issue is with your Roku software. Because it is your settings that won't stay OFF.

  • KissMyAskLLC brad (@KissMyAskLLC) reported

    @TrendSpider easy decision here. Just buy a Roku TV and try calling customer service when it does not work right. Stock will be worth $5.

  • MackJsy Mack (@MackJsy) reported

    @JonnBlanchard @PaddysPCBuilds Maybe, as ours hasn't been updated for ages, I ended up buying a Roku for Amazon/Netflix/Plex, as the inbuilt apps became unusable. - and when checking it says its on the latest firmware avail and the apps (removing and re-installing) are the same. TV is about 4yrs(ish)

  • conmp225 Con Stance (@conmp225) reported

    @NikkiBuschEdit @RokuSupport It’s still down. Roku needs to fix it 🤬

  • nerdslime WuTangDungeonMaster (@nerdslime) reported

    @netflix I usually tweet about actually important things but I just want to state that the new default, opening to Most Liked column on the Roku app, is absolutely terrible design & a dreadful user experience in every way. There's no general feedback on the site so here we are.

  • Huffster14 Nathan Huff (@Huffster14) reported

    @CBSBigBrother CBS Roku App is trash, I’ve been trying to watch the second episode and all that comes up is “we’re sorry, an error has occurred”.

  • luckyringtail Lucky Ringtail | 😷💉 covid vaxxed/PrEP | 🏳️‍🌈 (@luckyringtail) reported

    @Roku I have a Vizio TV and a Samsung sound bar. How can I get my new 2022 Roku Ultra remote to work with both?

  • itsLunova Lunova🌩 (@itsLunova) reported

    help do i get a roku or a firestick

  • jaybeeizzle 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕪 𝕠𝕟𝕖; 𝔹.𝔸., 𝕄.𝕊., ℝ𝔹𝕋 (@jaybeeizzle) reported

    Another update: I changed the security of my wifi and immediately my roku connected to it. I had to connect it to the wifi extender that my roommate bought because her computer wasn’t streaming right. Well. I might have fixed the problem and she just moved out… oops haha hehe

  • BragDifferently Marvette Critney (@BragDifferently) reported

    @RokuSupport Worst customer service ever. The language barrier is pathetic. I tried calling the number, complete waste of time. Do not order any add on via Roku, having something cancelled is impossible

  • RobinSc98762507 Robin Scott (@RobinSc98762507) reported

    @RokuSupport @Huffster14 Having the same problem with all shows in the CBS app on Roku!! Been an issue for almost a week!

  • DaRealBigCheese BigQueso🌐🦅💎 (@DaRealBigCheese) reported

    @MarshMelo24 @TUDn @ClubAmerica I saw. Worst experience ever. Gotta watch on my phone or get it on roku

  • thatguise nate (@thatguise) reported

    Imma try a streaming stick like a roku or whatever to see if itll actually play w/o all the loading. Tho it seems to be a problem exclusive to prime video cause netflix etc work a o k

  • NotoriousGIBstl Kenny Powers (@NotoriousGIBstl) reported

    @BallySportsMW @Cardinals Except your app doesn't work on Roku anymore, so there's that...

  • EntStrategyGuy The Entertainment Strategy Guy (@EntStrategyGuy) reported

    @kasey__moore Basically. That's the problem. But right now it does have 10M paying subs, so for Netflix to buy Lionsgate for their content--hypothetically--you need to get Starz out of there. The only reasonable buyer to me is Roku. Because then they have a streamer to build up.

  • kd8bxp LeRoy Miller (@kd8bxp) reported

    @allshriimp @casey__shay @madebygoogle I suspect Google is having (or was) the issue thou, because one of my Roku TVs is saying it's off line in the Home App - but Google can still control it...very strange. I thought maybe it was just me, but I can see others are having the same issues at least with the Feit stuff.

  • unam068 gera³³º¹ (@unam068) reported

    @TBSNetwork wtf is wrong with your roku app? That **** is always crashing. Can’t watch @AEW cause of it. @TonyKhan some help please.

  • JohnathanBarnes Johnathan Barnes (@JohnathanBarnes) reported

    @tomjenen My initial reaction was "this is a dumb move by Netflix" but after letting it sync in the gaming synergies could be massive. Still think they should have just bought Roku, but this could work for all parties.

  • Huffster14 Nathan Huff (@Huffster14) reported

    @RobinSc98762507 @RokuSupport Roku’s response which none worked for me: check for an update on the app, the system software, remove and re-add the app, and unplug the whole device and wait a bit and plug in and try. Hope those work for you!

  • NotSoSkinnyPete NotSoSkinnyPete 🇺🇦 (@NotSoSkinnyPete) reported

    @RokuSupport I need some help please. When I try to stream onto my Roku express via my IPhone I only get sound and no picture.

  • AndrewMadsen86 Dead People Music (@AndrewMadsen86) reported

    @RokuSupport Oh no it was @Shudder that night not Roku haha sorry complete misunderstanding. I've never had any problems with Roku haha.

  • moshpitmagic Ryan Katz (@moshpitmagic) reported

    @JThrock45_ I haven’t had a single issue on Roku all season and I watch every game (that I’m not at)

  • QZARChannel13 QZAR, Grande They'm De Cosmos 👽🏳️‍🌈🪐 (@QZARChannel13) reported

    Anyone have an issue with their roku tv where only 1 app would open? If so, how did you fix it?

  • Edle_Julve Edle Julve (@Edle_Julve) reported

    @Quiet_Monsters @FidoSolutions I'm still with problems, I can't access half of the websites and my roku is unable to connect to the wifi.

  • NotSoSkinnyPete NotSoSkinnyPete 🇺🇦 (@NotSoSkinnyPete) reported

    @Roku I need some help please. When I try to stream from my iPhone on to the tv via my Roku express it only comes up with the sound and no pictures.

  • grimreaper21788 Reaper21788 (@grimreaper21788) reported

    @FelineFrenzy85 I have a Roku TV and I love it and I don't have cable but I have internet and pay for Hulu and I've never had a problem for live TV I think it's about 70 to $80 with Hulu

  • BipolarBearDick bipolar bear (@BipolarBearDick) reported

    @Wormhole_Matt I used to use a Roku but the audio quality through the remote was awful and you can’t run Kodi on Roku but it runs beautifully on Android TV. It’s a cheap thing. $20 at Walmart.
