-
Terri De ☮️ (@tessde) reported@PeacockTVCare I have no issues on the computer. I don't want to watch Baseball streaming on my computer. The point is it's the TV where it won't work. My Xfinity box and Roku not compatible. But thanks!
-
#sheCANic® (@girlsautoclinic) reportedI know this intern joke at @hbomax is funny but why doesn’t my HBO max work on my Roku? I can only watch certain movies and no series. iPad and iPhone ok. I feel like HBO has the best streaming content but the worst servers. Work on that please!!
-
Modernafied (@the_a_bomb94) reportedDoes anyone else’s @hbomax consistently crash their roku? Like. Every day I open this app I have to reset it over and over to get it to work. Reset as in unplug the roku sometimes cause I can’t even exit to the home screen. No other app does this.
-
Matt Bailey (@mattbailey) reported@RokuSupport I bought the smart soundbar recently, not my first or only Roku product, and I've found that the remote control drains its batteries really quickly. I've gone through 3 pairs of batteries since purchasing a couple of months ago. Can y'all help?
-
Vaccinated Fletch 🤓 (@IMFletcher2) reported@kmosier42 I've gone back and forth with Google for help. I've checked my internet speeds in that part of the room and they are great. My Roku is wired to my LAN. I could get a $20 adapter from Google, but haven't yet.
-
Joel Ferebee (@JoelFerebee) reported@IMFletcher2 @Roku @YouTubeTV I have never had buffering issues, but the android buffered constantly. The home screen and remote were better, but that doesnt matter if TV doesnt work
-
TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) reported@katiewampus_ Jumping in – confirming we're aware of the issue on our app not working on Roku devices, and we're working on a fix. Appreciate your patience in the meantime.
-
Vaccinated Fletch 🤓 (@IMFletcher2) reported@JoelFerebee I loved Roku until I got the Chromecast unit. It kicks *** in comparison. And until I can be sure that @Roku and @YouTubeTV will work out their ****, I'm not investing another penny on Roku hardware.
-
Dryden Fit (@StoicZenMind) reported@Roku Youtube app will not launch. I have removed and reinstalled - still the same issues.
-
Angel (@amh_reads) reported@Jacsqueeze It really does. I had so much trouble trying to use it on Roku - I could login, get to home screen, but once I selected something to watch, it would return to Roku home screen. So far, it has been working on smart TV, but took forever to load, and then no option to select "play".
-
Modernafied (@the_a_bomb94) reported@Muna_Mire Just came to say it is also awful on Roku. Truly shockingly bad
-
SeanMcQuat (@SeanMcQuat) reported@hbomax why does your app keep crashing? It has been 2 weeks now of continuous crashes. Netflix is fine, Amazon is fine. I have deleted and reinstalled and still crashes after about 15-20 min. PS4, Roku, Firestick. I dont need a response just a solution. Please fix the issues.
-
Steve in Indy (@RedsfanIndy) reported@hulu_support I’m more disappointed for my 83 yr old father. He has this same Roku device for both TVs. I feel badly because I’m the one who talked him in to using Hulu Live TV. I’m glad you’re still aware of the problem.
-
Will (@Will00223878) reported@jdawgmurkin @Maven @OctaneSam Bc everyone watches on a different version of YouTube or Xbox ps4 mobile windows roku TVs ect they said 4K won’t work unless you put your settings on 720 and under you’ll have issues Bc the stream that they are running can’t handle so many ppl watching at hd

Matt Salem (@MattSalem85) reported@askparamount should I be having issues loading the app from Roku and Android right now?? Cause I am.

Hector Lugo (@NYCHombre) reportedRoku and YouTube/Google have divorced and I feel like a kid from a broken home! #ROKU #YouTube #Google

Justice For Hello Beastie 🐙🏴☠️ (@J4HelloBeastie) reported@rebeccacaroe @CNBC Roku is just the platform for the channels so you have to look which channel if any other than NBC on cable cover it. Like I'm watching euro 2020 on ESPN & the coverage is awful but at least it's on streaming
-
𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵𝓮𝔂𝓮𝔃407 😇😇 (@angeleyez407) reported@scfm69_2 @abigailm1971 @designsbycary I won't go with Direct tv. I thought service reception issues were bad with Spectrum? Too many large trees all around the house. Living in the snow belt = 10 -24 inch snow dump during winter months. I want to check into Roku or Firestick to drop all but internet.

Greg Rank (@gregrank) reported@HBOMaxHelp We got one but more importantly last night the play button inside hbomax did not work for any content - log out, power off roku, log back in, no luck. Netflix all other services were fine but no play button functionality on hbomax while using our roku - a first
-
Michael (@HellcatPerez) reportedPeacock still not working on PS4 for some stupid reason, my only hope is that it’s on Roku or something because I don’t want to have to watch wrestling PPVs on my phone or laptop
-
T-Bone (@IronFist1982) reportedMy brother and I are trying to show my Pops how to work the Peacock app on Roku TV since the #SFGiants games are gonna be broadcast on and he’s already amazed by this app like a kid in a candy store.

Resly بورسلي (@rborisly) reported@RokuSupport hello I'm having a random issue with youtube on my Roku Express. The app won't open & I have to keep uninstalling/reinstalling youtube every time I want to watch. Pls help.
-
Chris Hager (@ChrisHager) reported@Katiew552 I had a similar issue on our TV w/Roku built in & while power-cycling the TV didn't resolve, going into the Roku settings & choosing Restart from there did the trick. Good luck!
-
Steven “ Jesus Freedom Eagle” Max (@SteveRMax) reported@MairseyDotes @sherman4949 It is consistently the worst tech in my house. By a lot. When everything else is connected to my router @Roku repeatedly can’t connect and tells I need to restart. This has happened across different devices and providers
