Lucas Soares (@lucasgsoares11) reported@F1Help @Roku @tvglobo This broadcast is becoming unbearable. The audio is out of sync, now there’s a random zoom that fixes nothing. Ever since it moved to Globo, it’s been nothing but headaches. The broadcast quality is terrible, and honestly I’m seriously considering stopping
-
Cream the Barber (@creamthebarber) reported@Roku Just bought a new stick just a few months ago, and it’s already taken a crap on me. Freezes all the time, and now doesn’t pick up my WiFi. It was fine when I first got it, now it just doesn’t work. And this is about the 4th stick that’s done this. Really terrible. Smh.
-
JRC_Lanoka (@JRCsystems) reportedHey @Roku and @prageru @DennisPrager - Did you know that apparently Roku is #blocking Prageru app? The app starts, but #anything you try watching crashes immediately and leaves you back at the main screen. Tried updating. Tried uninstall/ reinstall. Doesn't work!

Random Daily Thoughts (@thatmom80) reportedThe @Roku remote sucks more battery in a month than I suck at adulting . They really need to work on their remotes . I heard a lot of people found the switch to fire stk considering, but do they have e Listen to your clients #roku #pannel

Brian Richards 🕔 (@CptCracker) reported@thatoneguychaz @FOXSoccer @Roku Fox One is a hot mess. They seem to have blown it on capacity planning. A Grok survey of complaints confirms the issues are multi platform. Roku has a 100 million user base so they are going to get mentioned more than others, but it's cross platform. If there's something roku can do to help fix thst would be great though. The games on Fox over the air have worked just fine. This is when having a $40 Walmart antenna or even better a Tablo antenna tuner/dvr is helpful. The problem is they seem to have 37 games scheduled for streaming only.

Friggan (@CaptFriggan) reported@Roku How do I put my HDMI inputs back on the main screen after this terrible update?
-

-
RockHead Regolith (@RockHeadRego) reported@Roku How do I get James Rhey Roku Customer Support to respond to my request for help regarding the vertical lines that have appeared on my recently purchased Roku TV?
-
[a case of the blog] (@acaseofthetwit) reportedI normally love my @Roku — I have one for each TV! — but my living room one has been a real issue. The remote randomly stopped working and the device itself now reboots itself multiple times a day (often in the middle of viewing something). Very annoying.
-
Greg (@Xuser784) reported@Roku system keeps crashing. This is a new issue as of today.
-
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!
-
Primetime 📺 (@Primetime_TB) reportedFinally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.
-
Osondu Esonwune (@OsonduEsonwune) reported@Roku @norcal06warrior Roku I’m having the same issue on the Netflix app on my Roku tv
-
Rikki Ratliff (@rikkiratliff) reported@james37144 @Roku It's working for a lot of people but as Glenn said on radio and on the Commuity page it still needs polishing but we tried to get it up in time to work out the kinks before the special.
-
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)?
-
Isabella Valentine (@PrismaticOwl) reportedI generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.
-
RSummers (@RSummers0) reported@Roku WHY isn't TBS channel updating it's episodes on Big Bang Theory? It says expired TODAY IT said that yesterday and still hasn't changed episodes! TBS people are asleep or not paying attention? 🙄 Please fix this!
-
MrScottFletcher (@MrScottFletcher) reported@Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.
-
Dr. GigaDad, PharmD, BCPS, BCEMP (@Shayne_McKee_) reported@enhanced_games @Roku @ResortsWorldLV Crazy that it took you until now to announce where you’ll be hosting the games. Terrible marketing.
-
Bill Howell (@Bill_Howell_) reported@Roku I have done all that and I am not the only one complaining about this. Interesting an older Roku device in another room doesn't have this issue. It started with a new purchase of a new 4k streaming stick.
-

-
Eric ✝️🇺🇸 (@EKershner) reportedHey @Roku. I had a device apparently fail. Bought a new streaming stick and there was nothing wrong with the device. Now I am thinking this is a "you" issue. Currently, I am unable to add the new device. In addition, I am able to log into my account via the Web but not the Android app.

Ben Goertz (@bgoertz08) reported@Roku Please please please, fix the PVR on my Roku 65 TV. This update has ruined it. DM me for details.

Philip Logan (@philip_logan) reported@MsSariBrooke @Roku I can’t work out how to watch it here in the UK 😩
-
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.
-
Atul K. Verma (@atveusa) reported@Roku your streaming stick is not working and I can’t find a way to return it. Your support page is asking to speak with someone but the number is not connecting. Not a good support model I see
