    I've downloaded the @ARROW_Player Roku app but only some Italian movies have subtitles. Caliber 9 had subtitles but If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death does not. @ArrowFilmsVideo can you help me?

    @miles_fisher_ Nothing against Roku. They've built heavily to solve problems that likely won't apply to Netflix. I'd expect Netflix to take a very surgical approach.

    @ComCodyCC2224 @sydthekid2430 Try using a firestick or roku. They work alot better than smart TV processors

    @ElliotTurn Roku's "content" is awful. I am sure they make money off the ads, but even then.

    @SmithsonianChan The newest episode of Air Disasters (season 17, episode 8) won't play in the Android app or on my Roku. It says the episode is unavailable in my region. I'm in the US. Can you fix it?

    @DrewHill_DM Bally has a App on Fire, Roku etc… You can either sign in with a TV provider like Direct TV, Xfinity, and sone others or get a subscription with them.

    @Crunchyroll @Roku can y’all fix the crunchyroll app and give an option for video quality control? it never loads😒

    @TheCW Is there a support team for the cw app. On my Roku TV screen it's saying no data when I open the cw app. Is there an outage going on. I'm trying to watch my DC shows.

    I was literally wondering if it counted that we can get OUR netflix at my parents' house. It's still us physically there watching it. Same if we can get our Roku to work in a hotel TV.

    @YouTubeTV Having a problem on my Roku tv streaming, when I go to a channel I get playback error, this video format is not supported, 14:Y0VD ZPGF7VKM?

    @disneyplus My Disney Plus app on my Roku TV is not letting play anything. Is there an outage going.

  • idguy
    Bob Levine (@idguy) reported

    .@paramountplus has spent months fingerpointing and promising @Roku OS 11 would fix its HDR and Dolby Atmos issues. My Roku Ultra updated to OS 11 yesterday and I'm not at all shocked to find out that they were full of **** and their Roku app is still a steaming pile of crap!

    @TELUSsupport my Pik TV box hasn’t worked in a week. When I called for technical help was told there was nothing they could do. Transferred me to Customer Care who said just get Optic TV and call back when I want to switch. Funny that my Roku works connects with no issues 🤔

    @elonmusk @slashdot That and the fact that it has issues getting stuck loading consistently and crashing the app altogether on my Roku. If it is happening on mine then I would guess it is happening to others. Amazon Prime, Hulu and Tubi never crash on me.

    Crunchyroll Won’t Work On My Roku 🙄

    Please, @AMC_TV fix your Roku app login so I’m not logging in every time I want to watch @BetterCallSaul. And please update your process as well. Nobody wants to type @gmail.com or better yet - give us a QR code to sign in 😑

    Attn. @CNN : Your new interface on @Roku streaming is terrible. It used to be quick and simple to access live CNN programs, but now it's complicated, with unclear highlighting/graphics & it never works or loads properly...it's just easier to switch to other cable news channels.

  • MollyDarden

    @XfinitySupport I cannot access programs on NBC and ABC. Although I do have Roku, I'm trying to access previous programs through Xfinity. Please help.

    @thehill That it initially wasn’t available on Roku didn’t help its roll out effort.

    @PeacockTVCare Seems to be worst on the Mac laptop. Doesnt happen on the Roku (at least yet).

    Hey @viki apparently your update really broke something...I get a spinning wheel and then back to the roku home page when I try to launch. Anyone trying to fix this?

  • cranjxmd

    Because the @AMC_TV app doesn't work on the Roku and is terrible. I am forced to watch Better Call Saul on my laptop instead of my home theater.

    @StuDoesAmerica Can someone fix the Blaze apps? Roku app and Android phone app don't work or load.

  • NotAllDreams
    Devon Freeny (@NotAllDreams) reported

    Discussions about how Netflix compares to other streaming platforms overlook what to me is its biggest advantage: It is *by far* the most stable and smoothest-running app—it starts up the fastest, is the least likely to crash my Roku, isn't constantly asking me to log in again...

  • GlitchedLizard

    Wtf are people watching Paramount+ on where they're having so many issues with it I watch on PC and I watch on Roku and never once have I had the issues people keep reporting about it

  • NotRodJr
    Peoples Hernandez (@NotRodJr) reported from Portland, Oregon

    @openlystupid68 Mine’s rarely crashed on me. Most reliable is streaming thru a gaming system for me. Might have some bandwidth issues when using my Roku tv

  • MsAllieD
    Allison M. Dickson 🌻 (@MsAllieD) reported

    Nearly every time there's a specific movie I wanna watch and I do a Roku search for it, Netflix never has it. It's almost always Prime, Hulu, HBO or one of the smaller services. That's a big part of the problem for Netflix. You know what I miss? The magic of the red envelopes.

    @SNYtv The SNY streaming is super delayed on Roku devices. The game is un-watchable because of how far behind it is. Please fix it.
