Roku Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Nat_Dowzicky Natalie Dowzicky (@Nat_Dowzicky) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    "I think your brother took out all the TVs by updating the passwords & providers and changing the remotes, so bring a book." Looks like my mom is embracing her boomerness by giving up on trying to login to Roku.

  • PerfidiousP Eric Reece (@PerfidiousP) reported

    @fidmart85 In ATL area, and can't get Paramount Plus to stream on new Xfinity box, Roku, or Chrome or MS Edge on laptop. Failure across multiple platforms. They have serious streaming issues. Looking for that to break in the news.

  • Raidger4 Daniel deBarbier (@Raidger4) reported from Marietta, Georgia

    @TeamYouTube It doesn’t do the opening sequence first, just goes to the main screen, and then it’ll switch to opening sequence and then the screen stays black and doesn’t load. So then I’ll remove app and reinstall and it works fine. So maybe a @Roku issue

  • harsty19901 Debbie (@harsty19901) reported

    @TheRokuChannel I can't scan for the broadcast on my Samsung TV? Should I unplug the Roku and try it again? Broadcast symbol on settings is greyed out & says not available? Help!

  • CindyCindyWuWu stay-at-home daughter (@CindyCindyWuWu) reported

    *me to my roku remote 2 seconds after work ends* “…open Viki”

  • driszhor David (@driszhor) reported

    @stevewilldoit @rumblevideo The Roku app needs a lot of work.

  • mixmuses mixes (@mixmuses) reported

    @demeisen4 @HIDIVEofficial Idk if it's the same issue as I had on roku. But I played the previous episode. A few seconds of it. Then tried the new episode and it worked. Maybe worth a try

  • msmlroberts Morgan @ Sundance (virtually) (@msmlroberts) reported

    If anyone is attending @sundancefest virtually tomorrow, hit me up if you have problems with your Roku device or Safari. I’ve been trying to watch Short Film Programs for two days and despite multiple emails to support, literally nothing has changed. Thank goodness for Chrome?

  • rosewindfury doreen🇺🇸 (@rosewindfury) reported

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel I have had a antenna going on 3 years & was so glad it went perfectly with my Roku tv when I got it. No problems.

  • joshencinias Josh Encinias (@joshencinias) reported

    @msmlroberts @sundancefest The app won’t work on my Roku tv either and Eventive don’t know what do to, and seem to be in no rush to fix it

  • jerseyjokes Pedro (@jerseyjokes) reported

    @nflnetwork what happened to your streaming app on roku? I’ve always been able to access using my cable login. Now it doesn’t work, but only works on my phone.

  • RogerRogerATX Roger ATX (@RogerRogerATX) reported

    @trumwill Problem is how to monetize it beyond the Roku method, as Roku and Amazon are also competing against the services they are selling. I'm wondering if Prime Video is on the way out in favor of Freevee and MGM+

  • joshencinias Josh Encinias (@joshencinias) reported

    @bykitstone It’s not working on my Roku TV either

  • RandallAlThor RandAlThor (@RandallAlThor) reported

    @Roku are the servers out in Minneapolis? I haven’t been able to connect any roku to my WiFi this morning (had no trouble last night) and internet still works for all my other devices… help!

  • YippyDamnskippy Yippy Damnskippy☘️ (@YippyDamnskippy) reported

    @rumblevideo Please fix your Roku tv app. It's a mess.

  • 74_Bobber K.C. Brill (@74_Bobber) reported

    @FreeCastTV What’s the status on getting a Roku TV channel app? Casting FreeCastTV from iOS to Roku doesn’t work.

  • Shiftygism Shiftygism (@Shiftygism) reported

    @DisneyPlus As a subscriber to your ad tier plan, it would be nice to be able to watch on one of the Roku devices/televisions in my home, but y'all continue to hold us hostage over THREE DOLLARS when Hulu w/ads runs no problem. PLEASE FIX THIS, BEFORE MANDO DROPS. It's incredibly dumb.

  • burritotheif Spencer Williams (@burritotheif) reported

    @msmlroberts @sundancefest Also having problems with Roku! A film will get to 99% loaded and then just….keep loading.

  • Holdout1Smith Just a regular person (@Holdout1Smith) reported

    @Xfinity Thank you, but I’ve tried everything; deleting/reinstalling the app, rebooting, calling Xfi support. Also, it is happening on a second Roku device. Seems like it’s the Xfi stream app, because I use several other apps, in the same devices, and I do not get error messages.

  • derbilicious Derbilicious (@derbilicious) reported

    Never have I had more issues than what I do with a @TCL_USA/@Roku TV. Like my gosh, can anything just work properly?????

  • judivawebb Judi Webb (@judivawebb) reported

    @Roku why weird al not work??????? Movie is skipping and messing upppppppppp . Booooooo

  • LeirielVR Leo | Leiriel 🍥 (@LeirielVR) reported

    @GaiaMusashi Yeah the Roku app is the worst I've seen. On my TV I need 2 clicks for every action. One for the action itself and one more to update the app post action, so it's usually ok button + right arrow lol

  • henthusiasts Helen Bach (@henthusiasts) reported

    @AcornTV For some reason there are no closed caption tracks on Roku for Midsomer Murders. Fix it please? I like to watch it while hubby sleeps.

  • LSumner_1975 Lisa Sumner (@LSumner_1975) reported

    @discoveryplusUK installed the app on my Samsung TV. Constantly buffering. Deleted cache etc. Same problem. Tried the app OK my Roku, app crashes when I try to open. Just trying to watch #AustralianOpen

  • Sctvman Joe Wright (@Sctvman) reported

    @Dash_Spartan The restaurant I was at was having that issue. They have Roku and the game wasn't even showing up. Then they told me it was on the "CBS Sports App." I had to show her my Flo app

  • Katatawnic Kat (@Katatawnic) reported

    @NavaroAlexis @rumblevideo Their Roku app is atrocious. It crashes the second I go to my subscriptions. It's literally unwatchable. They also need to implement playlists. If they would fix these two issues, I would leave YouTube and never look back.

  • judivawebb Judi Webb (@judivawebb) reported

    @TheRokuChannel Why is my brand new @roku going into fast forward mode sfter every ad in #weird @alyankovic movie??????? Help me ??!!!!!

  • hobigangbangtan 'our hyung is mine' he said⁷ (@hobigangbangtan) reported

    @PartytimeRL I gen prefer WV but wish they'd make a streaming app available internationally—it's an option on smart tvs in Korea, and would save a lot of trouble if I could add it to my Roku vs hooking up my HDMI cable every time I wanna watch something. D+ has a huge edge in that lol

  • PuggggDaddy Tristan (@PuggggDaddy) reported
