-
Varsity 38 (@CBW556) reportedAnd that turns CC ON for EVERYTHING. Switch from @DisneyPlus to @hulu ? Congratulations! CC. Because one had to turn on CC in the Roku TV settings instead of the show on @DisneyPlus Again, completely idiotic First World problem.
-
austin bb (@popespeed) reported@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)?
-
RoughTradeRadio (@RoughTradeRadio) reported@walt_stachura Same. Later in the evening I got: "I was able to confirm with our team that this is a known issue with Roku devices. Our Engineers are working on getting it resolved as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Brian Blanchard (@BrianB01535231) reported@DebbieBelin @EpochTV @SiyamakKhorrami Roku TV has streaming Epoch News channels. Please help them do well. & Watch NTD as well. Their news office was Firebombed, showing they are over the Enemy Target

-
Dr. Stack Sats & HODL (@NoBagHolder) reportedDear @MLBTV please fix your @Roku app. Every time I try to resume a game the next day from where I turned it off, the broadcast begins where I left off, immediately crashes, and then starts back at the beginning of the game when I restart it.
-
Reverend Sarah (@revsarahgarner) reported@Roku @FRANCE24 Your channel on my Roku TV is not working. France24 channel. One of my go-to channels.
-
Jim Golis (@jimgolis) reported@hulu_support @Ann_Elyse Not having any issues with Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Peacock, Tubi, freevee, etc. Just checked with a friend who has YouTube TV. No issues there. Might be time to switch.
-
no, i don't think i will, thanks (@a9ymous) reported@Roku stop continually making the Live TV interface worse, it's one of the reasons we got this RokuTV (pause/rw terrestrial TV). and fix your subtitle support, constantly having to go back to the main menu and unselect/reselect Always On.
-
Mary McNeight (@ServiceDogAcdmy) reported@Roku What the HECK did you do to live tv pause? There is no way to fast forward and see where you are in the program. You’ve literally broken the best feature of having a Roku TV.
-
((MS__no__nothing)) 👨🦼🎗💙🔯 (@msnonothing1) reported@Roku FIX your apps already. ViaPlay, Howdy. Hire some good techs & earn your money. Two days now. Shame on you. @RokuSupport & tell your AI bot what go sod yourself means...
-
John Tanner (@Lordofdeath14Xb) reported@Roku hey guys if you could fix your ******* app every time when I'm listening to music on my phone through the app it disconnects so how about you guys get off your *** and fix the ******* app thank you.
-
Sarah with an h (@SarahDoesKC) reportedThis is a total first world problem, but I lose my mind that it takes 12 minutes and 85 clicks to finally get to the show I’m trying to watch and one accidental step of my dog to wind up on Roku Greatest Hits.
-
Salt Bae of the ******* (@thisiskenzo_) reportedAight im tired of tweeting about this. @Crunchyroll @Roku YALL HAVE ONE WEEK TO FIX THIS ROKU APP BEFORE I PERMANENTLY END MY SUBSCRIPTION

Pathfinder 5.1 (@_brannonburgee) reported@Roku BACKDROPS is THE DUMBEST **** EVER!!! Just a ploy to help someone sell batteries…💯💯💯😡😡😡 END IT!!!!
-
chinedu🦀 (@chinedu_10) reported@Roku is there a reason why your devices stopped connecting to WIFI? And is this a regional issue? I could connect to the Hotspot on my iPhone. But I can’t connect WIFI to the device. I’ve tried multiple WIFI from different ISPs.
-
Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedFor years I had my elderly mother perfectly able to operate her @Roku TV. Now the software is so convoluted and dumb I can't even figure out how to fix it for her anymore. It just wants to stream everything with no antenna channels. It was fine and they broke it with software.
-
Matt Pierce (@MattPierceblog) reportedThis entire @F1 and @Apple agreement has been fine broadcast wise but it's this entire bullshit around it being forced into another subscription, lagging latency when using a smart TV, and crap. Just give me my F1 app on @Roku with a single sign in and one reasonable subscription
-
Ask Spectrum (@Ask_Spectrum) reported@Xavier__Gregory @Roku I'm sorry for the trouble with our TV app. I'm not aware of any changes that should cause that to stop working, but if you will please DM us we will be happy to investigate further. - William
-
John Anthony Morris (@johns_jewels) reported@hulu_support Network error message. Streaming on @Roku TV. Settings indicate I’m connected with excellent signal strength.

Alan Hartland (@harty2you) reported@Roku hi, I live in the UK, I have a Roku streaming stick I bought in November 2025 from Tesco. I have had no problems with it until today. I am not able to use BBC iPlayer app. I have done all the resets but still not working. All other TV apps are ok ?
-
Mary Ashbaugh (@MaryAshbaugh6) reported@Roku fix your ESPN app please. Tired of the games going backwards and freezing up.
-
Nicholas Helton (@RealtorNickH) reportedAnyone else have issues with @Roku remotes? 3rd time replacing it and now the one I bought in January is broken and they won't replace it either!
-
SynRen (@SynRen) reported@Roku I brought a brand new Roku TV on 07/05/24, now it does not work. It has a black screen. I called Roku and did all the troubleshooting, and they said the hardware is dead. I think they should replace their defective product. Yet it says it should last 5 years minimum.
-
Mets Police (@metspolice) reported@TeamYouTube nothing broken. Just want to switch the player (Roku) to 1.25x and have it stay that way forever. Thanks!
-
SONJA SMITH (@SstKmd) reported@slinganswers Suddenly #Sling FreeStream on #Roku has this msg: "11-6 Looks like a #location issue. 1)Make sure you aren't on VPN; 2) Enable location services if they aren't on (mobile devices only)" Neither issue is valid. I am in Md USA. Please fix this. 😠 cc @Sling @Roku
-
Justlivingonearth (@Justlivingonea2) reported@Roku Roku refuses to let me login to my HBO Max account. Now HBO says email and password don’t look right. Yet when I use the Vizio remote, there’s no problem. 🤷🏼

The wanderer (@thewanderer2020) reported@Fightincowboy @Crunchyroll My back button isn’t working anywhere on any Roku remote. Multiple TVs with the same issue. @Roku
