    Even after buying a brand new HDMI wire I am still getting the ************* error code PLYB_122. A ******* 8k capable wire. What in the ******* hell @Verizon or @roku??

    @foxone @Roku the foxone app runs bad on the roku. Constant errors. Error:PL--28

    @Roku Thanks for the response. Yup. Tried that. Doesn't work. And the buffering is constant. It only happens on the Blaze App. It makes it completely unwatchable.

    @Skippyqsb @Roku @TheRokuChannel Same here. New issue.

    @Roku your streaming stick is not working and I can’t find a way to return it. Your support page is asking to speak with someone but the number is not connecting. Not a good support model I see

    @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!

    @NBCSPhilly @Roku change the app back to allow us to scan QR code. Also he time sign in. I’m sick and tired of typing out this long website link every day

    @Ask_Spectrum is there any plan to fix the "last channel" function on app for @Roku using the RW button. Functioned for years & it just stopped. Every Roku I have no longer has this function. It's really annoying to not be able toggle back/forward. V15.2 B:0

    @Roku I have “HBOMax on Roku” when I try to watch Carolina Hurricanes vs Montreal Canadiens live broadcast game 3 it says “This event has ended”!!! Fix your link! It’s just now starting!

    @BioMathJason @Roku @TCL_Global Yes, that's the way it is supposed to work, and has worked for the 5 years I've owned this tv. TCL did an update the early part of this year that removed the ability to watch OTA without internet. They did send a fix for most customers after the backlash, but many are still twisting in the wind. Their LiveTv is the culprit.

    @CordCuttersNews Great! I will make sure after I throw this POS TV down the stairs that I never buy another @Roku TV again. Every update makes my TV more useless and unusable. Can't wait! 😒😑

    @Roku @RokuSupport NEED HELP! - My subscription support ticket (#13949322) was escalated but I haven’t received any updates. Can someone please check the status and advise on next steps?

  • HarveyJackalope
    Harvey Jackalope (@HarveyJackalope) reported

    @AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.

  • Cakefacethedad
    David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported from Rome, Latium

    Dear @Spotify and @Roku , It has come to my attention that @Google is regulalrly attacking my Roku streaming device. The first time I installed a Chromecast in the house, my Google Play functionality immediately disappeared from my Roku player. I was forced to use the YouTube app, but could only see movies I had purchased, no TV shows. Recently, I tried connecting the Chromecast to our new wifi. It said I needed to donload the Google Home app to change the wifi, so I did. From that point on, anytime I watch a podcast on Spotify, the video will not work. None of this is a problem on my phone, sitting in the same room, usung rhe same accounts on the same wifi. The common denominators here are me installing or updating something on my Google Chromecast and instantly having a major, negative change to my Roku streaming box. How is this legal? Why is Google allowed to attack my Roku player and disable functionality from other apps?

    Finally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.

    @hulu_support I have 1G internet using a @Roku Ultra. It’s not an internet or device issue. Like I said, it’s ONLY on this channel and ONLY for games, not regular programming.

    @MsSariBrooke @Roku I can’t work out how to watch it here in the UK 😩

    Let’s see if @Hulu will actually work today. I dunno if it’s on their end or @Roku but all week I’ve had problems.

  • imanidrayton27
    Imani Drayton (@imanidrayton27) reported

    @gcanderson57 @PlutoTV @Roku I'm using a Hisense Roku TV and mine does the same thing you've mentioned. I pretty much did everything reopened the app, restarted the TV and neither of those things worked. Like I said it could be the app that's causing the problem.

    @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)?

    @foxone @FIFAWorldCup My apologies Fox. The app issue is on @Roku.
