Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Sydney 👑 (@LoveMyFFAJacket) reported@Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.
-
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.
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported@BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.
-
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
-
Jesus's Flunky (@CrucifiedAgape) reportedDon't know whether it's my @TCL_USA @Roku TV or my @dish Hopper 3, but Lordy, I have to do a hard reboot on them nearly everyday to get them to work together.
-
shelby #ExtendAdley (@bigshelbss) reported@Roku your new Home Screen layout is dogshit fix immediately
-
Benji (@BenjiShaw7) reported@Roku Fix your new homescreen. Its takes almost a dozen button presses compared to 2-3. This update is ****. Fix it or give us the option before I replace this thing.
-
Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (@stuckathomemom) reported@thegreat_hair @Roku 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!
-
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
-
Wicked King (@StangXx) reported@Roku I know my internet is down right now, but why doesn't my "live tv" app work during this? I can watch the thumbnail and TV is working, but I'm stuck on that channel cuz the app itself won't load and allow me to change the channel. This is absurd
-
NorthRoad Creations (@northroadcreate) reportedWhy isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!
-
Benny The Droughtman (@KenNort19009544) reportedYou need a login to use the Roku remote now? Wtf? @Roku That mighty dolla got y’all on yall knees boy
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reportedIs anyone else having issues with @Roku ‘s app?
-
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.
-
Mike Bryant (@djmikebryant) reported@Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks
-
USmileIClick (@USmileIClick1) reportedFinally, @Roku My mother has limited vision. When you force changes to your UI, like putting things in “quick access” you add unnecessary frustration for her and me, because I have to come fix it. Think about your users and not you pocket book or your crappy 20 YO UI devs.
-
Tundrawalker⍟⍟ (@tundrawalker00) reported@TucsonBlonde @Roku Amen. If you can't find soccer without Roku's help, you need to be placed in assisted care.
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported@Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.
-
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
-
**** Dracula (@stilltrynnadie) reportedLow-key hate roku I hit the ok button multiple times nothing but if I so much as accidentally touch the guide button I get my YouTube video sent to the ******* backrooms @Roku fix your **** NOW
-
Tim Wilmes (@bigsilly67) reported@espn @roku why are you both worthless? I'm just trying to login with my provider to watch espn on my roku, and you're not allowing me to enter my provider credentials. So I'll ask again, why are you both worthless?
-
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
-
Riot is Prideful θ∆🐺 | DNF -16 (@Mx_Error) reportedHELLO CAN YOUTUBE ON THE ROKU NOT FUXKING CRASH @Roku @YouTube whixh one of ur faults is this because it happens all the time
-
DonJuan391 (@DonJuan391) reportedWhy is the @AMC_TV plus app not working on @Roku AMC Plus not working on Roku TV has been a problem for a while now.
-
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
-
Jake K (@Jakewk) reportedOk @Roku I’m trying to watch Fracture on my Roku TV Channel and you have a perverse glitch that when I try to rewind for a short time, it sends me back to the first few minutes of the movie and when I try to get back to the spot, it makes me watch all the ads again. WTAF.
-
Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported@roku so you sell me on your wireless surround sound then discontinue the products that work with it so that when one dies I can't even use a measly discount code on your website to replace the device! Garbage!
-
Jon P (@BamaGrad00) reported@roku The new home screen is awful
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku asking for a private message is ridiculous. Roku knows exactly what the problems are as it has been widely reported and complaints are numerous. Almost no Roku owner has not been touched by the new update. Slow apps, apps that will not open, unable to download new apps.
-
cfMC FEROX (@cfmceroz1) reportedhey ******** @roku think you can fix this or what? @TheRokuChannel morons
