Zakk Cornish-Fraser (@ZakkRyan) reported@swiftfairy_13 @DiscussingFilm @Roku I highly recommend any tv that doesn’t have a build in service like Roku. Many makers and retail chains can sell same models but last few numbers are dif so you get less quality out of it. There’s some fantastic options out there though
-
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?
-
Mary (@Fogatmidnight) reported@Roku Ghaaa......What did u do?! Update bad! Please don't fix what is not broke. Let user decide! 2 nights in find organize LOCAL ANTENNA channels, renam lil tile, now it's GONE! 😱 Where is it? Want on home screen! Hisense Roku TV
-
Connie Jeffus (@nikbus99) reported@Roku can't sign in. no email sent to reset p/w. can't find customer chat support. Please cancel free trial of Great Courses
-
Stacey (@Nerd4915) reported@Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.
-
whipofcords (@whipofcords) reported@TCL_USA @Roku these new updates suck! Fix it!!, now my tv just shuts off, when ever it wants!
-
KrisNVnmiP (@SophieMae1022) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku Try the bitter apple spray, it really deters some dogs from chewing specific items. A little of it rubbed on the remote might work. Also have you tried the ultrasonic sound deterrent? That stopped our dogs from bad behaviors. If you see them going near the remote press it. After a few times they should associate the remote with that unpleasant sound (that only they can hear!) Good luck
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@LeetOffice @Roku Someone just posted this 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!
-
Viv🥀✨ (@xx_viv_xx) reportedAnyone else having an issue with their @TheCW on @Roku ??? It keeps crashing for me
-
Lt. Broccoli - Parody 🥦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 (@Tommy2legs) reported@Roku fix everything about the new OS! I mean why is the only option on quick access to remove something!? Why can't they be moved? What the heck!?
-
Mandie Daniels (@mandiemw) reportedHey @PureFlix fix your payment system via @Roku please. I am not having multiple places bill for our tv. It goes through Roku or we don’t get it. I’d like to have the service back, but I’m not subscribing via your website.
-
Theresa (@Theresa99778608) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku You need a zapper for when they touch it, they will learn which. Our friends have two boxers that were like this and within the week they were broken.
-
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
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reportedIs anyone else having issues with @Roku ‘s app?
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku tells you force restart, unplug and do the secret remote cache restart. None of it works because the new software sucks. If your lucky enough to not have a bricked tv you are left with just horrible service. FIX THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.Hopefully Fox will rethink the purchase
-
tac0ghost 👻🇺🇲👻 (@tacooghost) reported@Morticia121212 @Roku The Roku sub shouldn't matter. Seems like an issue on their side.
-
Maureen Imrie (@maureenmcmahon8) reportedThis new @Roku Home Screen is awful! How can I opt out? Put it back , new upgrade is horrible.
-
LG (@lisagrim2002) reported@Roku I have Backdrops set to start after 1 min of inactivity. It never starts on its own. I never had this issue with the photo streams app. It always started reliably. I've looked online for trouble shooting (like start it manually) then it might work once but not anymore
-
SlowdownMemes (@PokeyTexan) reported@YouTube please fix the Jump Forward feature on your @Roku app. I don’t care whose end of the tech it’s on. I pay for three YT Premium, so that my kiddos don’t infect my feed or complain about what each other watch. I’ve told them “ give it a few days to patch it”. It’s been hell
-
CBJ (@chrisbjohns) reported@Roku one of your updates completely crashed my Roku brand TV. Any support tips? This seems to be a common issue in recent weeks.
-
Henhouse henry (@Henrywelch63) reportedHey @Roku I not happy right now! Tried to get an issue settled, and your AI assistant was no help. Tried to call corporate customer service, it said I might not even get a call back! REALLY!!!
-
Jennifer Glazer (@JLGlazer) reported@Roku hello. I need help repairing a remote with my Roku. I have followed instructions online, but it’s not working.
-
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
-
Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported@RepTheDMV @livenowfox Good eye. I am also terribly upset by the piss-poor quality of the breaks on the ROKU Channel. Chopped all to Hell! Does @Roku let AI run it's board? High-School rookies could do a better job!
-
Andrew Staten (@AndrewStaten) reported@TCL_USA @Roku So, is there really no way to go back to the old home screen UI? I don't get why companies feel the need to change things that aren't broken. More often than not, they get worse with new UIs.
-
RightSideRobert (@robert23190) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku FORENSIC LAB REPORT Case: REM-2026-0729-FTV Date: 29 July 2026 Sample: Damaged Amazon Fire TV remote Analysis: Bite marks are human, not canine.

🌪Jeff Schipull🦌 (@ojkoj) reported@Roku And like… if i reset the tv itll work sometimes, but its a big hassle, and after troubleshooting it appears to be a software issue with the update.
-
