    @natashahipp @Roku #MorningSunshine! Please help us #SaveProdigalSon!! Please Roku!

  • SandraSalle2 ssSMASHhh (@SandraSalle2) reported

    @WalkingDead_AMC I cant wait for the last half of this season(11) to come out somewhere. AMC messed up my Roku reception of TWD, and I had seen all but three of the debuts of every episode. No spoilers please.I have seen up to S11E08, dying for a dead fix!!

  • jcfrancisco Carlo (@jcfrancisco) reported

    @Lefty_Jew The plex app in built in tvs doesn't always work so well. Unfortunately you might have to get an external device like a fire stick, apple tv, roku etc

  • thepaintedbull rob v k 💰 (@thepaintedbull) reported

    @Lefty_Jew Get a Roku stick, smart TV operating systems are ******* garbage. In fact I solved this exact problem on my neighbor’s Samsung by having him do the same

  • DynaMoxie Dyna Moxie (@DynaMoxie) reported

    @hbomax Could you guys fix the subtitles on Rothaniel? The timing is way off, at least on my Roku app, and he definitely says "jar full of nickles," at one point, not, "jar full of *******."

  • kliesse Ken Liesse 🇺🇦🇺🇲 (@kliesse) reported

    @retroporter Same problem we have watching it on the Roku.

  • krisgeorge84 Krista George (@krisgeorge84) reported

    @RokuSupport since the most recent update, I can’t get close captioning to work on any streaming service. I have it set up in Roku settings and turned on for every streaming service.. it doesn’t work at all 😭 Please help fix this!

  • ctigeek Steven Swenson (@ctigeek) reported

    @MustardVideos I just checked the Nebula app on my phone and it wasn't happening. I think it may have been a glitch on my Roku.

  • FootballBat18 Jacob Chancellor (@FootballBat18) reported

    @rzsouth I had that problem with my roku tv today but no problem streaming through my xbox

  • Hi_ImRod 🧙🏾‍♂️ (@Hi_ImRod) reported

    @Crunchyroll please fix the Roku app you chumps its lagging and slow as **** and the interface is absolute ****.

  • iczimm Ivan Zimmerman (@iczimm) reported

    @mmpadellan I cut the cable cord. I can get tons of stuff streaming on ROKU. I get my MSNBC fix by SiriusXM in my car and therefore on all my devices.

  • brianlring 💥#FutureOfTV 📺 Building it @ Amagi 🚀 (@brianlring) reported

    @aagave I’m a broken record on this but every analysis ALSO misses that they don’t have to offer an ad tier to sell ads. They can create & distribute a ‘Netflix Channel’ to Samsung TV Plus, Roku Channel, Vizio Watch Free, Pluto, etc. Why not? Sell ads, promote Netflix, 0 cannibalization.

  • starwitnesspdx Star Witness (@starwitnesspdx) reported

    @paramountplus Not working on Roku or app please address this

  • Trese84 💔 (@Trese84) reported

    Ever since I switched to @hulu live everything freezes constantly 😖 I was told it’s because I use @amazon fire stick! So I really have to go buy a @Roku just to get it to work right!?

  • MarshallBLamm Marshall Lamm (@MarshallBLamm) reported

    @hulu You might want to have your techs check for audio issues. On multiple TVs in our house, Hulu’s volume is fine when loading the app through Roku, but it’s barely audible when loaded through the Fire stick.

  • Cindylou348 Cindy Bailey (@Cindylou348) reported

    @PaulEWalsh @FareedZakaria @brianstelter I just signed up too but found out I can't get in on Roku. I hope they fix that soon.

  • St_Jamez841 Jaime (@St_Jamez841) reported

    @CBSNewYork cbs app is not working on my Roku device

  • BDrew18 Splitty⚾️🚂🔥 (@BDrew18) reported from Brenham, Texas

    Ok @AstrosTwitter I need some help please! I need to figure out the best way to stream Astros game via either @hulu or @Roku. I do not have FUBO, and we cut the DirecTV chord recently. Thank you in advance! #Astros

  • biggerkrissy biggerKrissy (@biggerkrissy) reported

    @Roku I can’t get any help from the website. But the captions won’t stay on. I have to change from “never” to “always” with every new show on every channel. System setting has it as “always.” Can someone please look at this bug already?

  • St_Jamez841 Jaime (@St_Jamez841) reported

    @CBS the app is not working on my Roku tv

  • KhakiDaddy8 Julio Rodriguez (@KhakiDaddy8) reported

    @ayeeeitszendaya They are but for some reason it doesn't work on my phone.. It does work on the Paramount+ app on my Roku though.

  • FowlyTweets Fowly (@FowlyTweets) reported

    @Lefty_Jew Omg I had the exact same issue. The Tizen OS client (that comes with Samsung smart TVs) is apparently very poorly optimised. I fixed it by running an ethernet cable from my TV to my router. If that doesn't work I'd suggest getting a Roku/fire stick or something else to run Plex

  • cjmorris23 🌍 Chris Morris 🌎 (@cjmorris23) reported

    @ascarborough I have the same issue on my appleTV, but not on my Roku. Grab one of those… cheap and effective and they make portable model you can take on the road and connect to hotel TV’s easily.

  • kizzykatee 𝓴𝓪𝓽𝓮 ✧*̣̩⋆̩☽⋆゜ (@kizzykatee) reported

    I’ve got a migraine from listening to billy trying to help his grandma with her roku.

  • rediculous2006 Red (Taylor's Version) (@rediculous2006) reported

    "Kickboxer" (1989) Roku - Silly and awesome, but also some of the worst acting. 3/5 "The Bubble" (2022) Netflix - Thought it started off well enough, but the jokes started to lose steam before the first act completed, and then the movie tacks on another hour plus. 1.5/5

  • JGill1 JGill (@JGill1) reported

    @hulu_support somehow I’m able to login via my phone but not on our Roku. Activate via computer also not available.

  • DynaMoxie Dyna Moxie (@DynaMoxie) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Thanks for the quick response! On both the website on my computer & the Roku app, the subtitles start 7 sec. after he starts speaking. If that discrepancy is fixed, that would solve much of the problem. But, there are many points where the subtitles don't match what he's saying.

  • jforn11 Joe Fornarotto (@jforn11) reported

    @Hermann22 There's also a glitch with frame rate issues. Doesn't work well on Roku. I have to switch to another device. Physical Media > streaming.

  • enlightenedjas 𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘫𝘢𝘴✨ (@enlightenedjas) reported

  • jobytapia joby (@jobytapia) reported

    @tmwinsett get a ROKU stick or DM me if you need a login to something
