  • Toplender Brian (@Toplender) reported

    @Kliavkoff @DuckFootball YouTube, Hulu, Fubo, AppleTV, Amazon, Roku. Anything. Have to keep spectrum for pac 12, please help me cancel them.

  • sueygirl31 Sue (@sueygirl31) reported

    @YouTubeTV your instructions for roku and YouTube/YouTube TV DO NOT WORK! I paid for the month with add onz and roku is preventing YouTube from updating. Stating network issues. No other app is having trouble. How do I fix this??

  • djmickeasy DJ MICKEASY KILLMONGER got soul... (@djmickeasy) reported

    @AdamParkhomenko As an aside..@roku remotes...are the worst.

  • ponderer Dimitri LaBarge (@ponderer) reported

    @addhayanbakhsh1 @garywhitta Part of the problem with TV-based OS systems is you have no guarantee that your TV will support them over time. I mean, what’s the outside of OS support for phones, 6 years on the outside? I like my TV’s Roku OS, but there’s something to be said for a TV as a dumb terminal.

  • EugeneBWhitaker John Magee (@EugeneBWhitaker) reported

    @RokuSupport I have solved it myself. HBO Max pushed an update on May 31st that some how cracked the app. I deleted and reinstalled it and it worked right away. Disappointing that whomever is coding the apps didn't test update working. Roku Reddit filled with people with same problem

  • ahhshark Jason 🦅|| (ttv) Gentleman Pro (@ahhshark) reported

    @Crunchyroll on Roku is the absolute worst. I have premium but still have to watch ads? Get outta here.

  • MultiLynette lyn💜⁷ (@MultiLynette) reported

    @Roku needs to stop ending contracts with people, now I’m having issues with my cable provider bc roku decided to end their contract 😒 wtf I’m supposed to do now I have a roku tv, I’m not ganna go buy a new tv. Fix your agreement with spectrum already 🙄 save us a headache

  • StubbornChrissy Chrysa (@StubbornChrissy) reported

    @ClemsonAsh06 @hbomax @Roku Same thing is happening to me! No idea how to fix it. Time, I guess?

  • sueygirl31 Sue (@sueygirl31) reported

    Anyone else having issues with roku and YouTube tv/you tube? I know there was a battle and there are instructions to fix it, but it won't work. #rokuandyoutube #getyourshittogether

  • 106th Mark Sundstrom (@106th) reported

    anyone else seeing this issue... @HBOmax app on Roku keeps attempting to open/load the main menu, then crashes and closes??

  • rljensen3 Rich Jensen (@rljensen3) reported

    @CordCuttersNews Are you guys/girls getting reports of main @YouTube app not working on @Roku ? It works fine on my Chromecast/android tv. Tried reloading. Didn't work.

  • bleufiend bleufiend (@bleufiend) reported

    @MotorTrendApp please fix your live streaming. I can’t get 24hr nbr Adam race to load on Roku. Keeps unexpected problem error.

  • trav_dockery 🎤 Travis Dockery 🏁 (@trav_dockery) reported

    None of my @Roku devices are working. They all so no internet yet every other device on the network is fine. Anyone else have a great this issue? #roku

  • QueenPhillippa Phillipa Charlotte (@QueenPhillippa) reported

    Are we agreed that a remote control the size of a candy bar should come with a wrist strap? Hear this, ROKU? But that's not my problem. Grabbing one up with the sheets and running it through the laundry is my problem. Thanks to Amazon, will have two by tomorrow.

  • JohnSCook John S Cook (@JohnSCook) reported

    @michaeltemkin @mgsiegler I was using HBO Max on Roku Ultra last night and noticed a weird problem when trying to go rewind a bit, but I did get there. However HBO Max offers some unique problems on Roku that they still haven’t fixed. Still sounds far more usable than this problem with AppleTV.

  • ignatiusbradley brad - a montana llc (@ignatiusbradley) reported

    @MotorTrendTV @MotorTrend Streaming for the Nurburgring 24 is broken on your @Roku app. This is much better than watching a free stream on YouTube!

  • chelsea_kearns Chelsea Kearns (@chelsea_kearns) reported

    @masnNationals our Roku streaming app has been down for the last 2 days, is it just us or is this a MASN wide issue?

  • popeye304 Louis Karnbach (@popeye304) reported

    @WFTV I cannot get your app to work on FireStick or Roku. This is now like this for two days. I have tried to update your app. I have ninstalled and reinstalled. Please fix. We don't enjoy the other news stations.

  • CWRacing71 CW71 (@CWRacing71) reported

    @MLGordita @MotorTrend And then when you pay for them, their Roku app is broken so you cant watch it conveniently either...garbage.

  • SelenityWolf Selenity (@SelenityWolf) reported from Tulsa, Oklahoma

    @FOX23 Did you know your Roku app is broken? It keeps repeating Thursdays broadcast at 715a for a few mins then shuts down.

  • LeeFraser11 Lee Fraser (@LeeFraser11) reported

    Hi @itvhub , might be worth having a look at your TV app, it's terrible - takes a long time to load, or doesn't load at all. I'm using a Roku Hisense tv

  • JZGKat45 Kat (@JZGKat45) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @antssrt @taxi7007driver We are using Roku streaming devices Ultra and streaming plus sticks. We can get in the app and find the show, but nothing plays . You click play and all it does is instantly loop back to play... I too would like help, we can't even watch Young Sheldon or any show and both device

  • kidfromtondo J. V (@kidfromtondo) reported

    @DaveWeLike @fatbabyfunds @HonestInvesting I don’t have cable and only stream (YouTubeTV, Netflix etc.). I do everything through my Samsung smartTV with 4K quality and sometimes AppleTV. Never felt the need for a Roku nor Firestick. This is why I can’t see $ROKU long term.

  • PatriotsOutLoud PatriotsOutLoud (@PatriotsOutLoud) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp ROKU TV. I'll be watching movies & then I'm asked to sign in,which involves getting my computer and a code. some movies don't even load. one took over 6 minutes until I gave up. Closed cation doesn't work nor does FF, rewind, or repeat. Other premium channels are point & click.

  • PapaBear1713 JP🐮 (@PapaBear1713) reported

    @vol_jr My problem was My wife had the Disney + bundle through Disney and I had Hulu at one time through Roku. It was a billing disaster and Hulu couldn’t help at all. I got it figured out though in the 5th inning yesterday 👍

  • SeanMcQuat SeanMcQuat (@SeanMcQuat) reported

    Anybody else been having constant issues with @hbomax the past 36-48 hours? Mine has crashed on my PS4, Roku and Fire stick. None of my other streaming services have issues. Everything is up to date as well.

  • JustinWisty Justin Wisty (@JustinWisty) reported

    Hmmm did @Roku disable the @YouTube app? It's definitely not working!

  • CrisCantRead Cristian but in the new year (@CrisCantRead) reported
