@slinganswers Are you guys having issues with your Roku app? Two of my Roku devices updated the Sling app and now sling will not start. Just stuck on the red loading wheel.

@YouTubeTV your @Roku app is awful and doesn’t work properly. Please fix or remove.
Jeremy Troia (@jeremy_troia) reported 9 minutes ago
@DanHogan95 I’ve had it for 2+ years and haven’t ever had an issue. I use it via my Roku TV.
Kickball Legend (@DrinkyUncle) reported 13 minutes ago
@MSNOWNews your channel on @Roku has not worked in two weeks. Every other channel works fine. It’s you. Maybe you can fix that ****?
Rodrigo Torres Muñoz (@rodritorres_81) reported 14 minutes ago
@DisneyPlus I'm havig this issue several times now, I't started with @Roku devices and @Roku Tv's at home saying we were not in the same household that I should update my household, so I logged off from all devices, nothing same problem 1/2

I'm currently watching the YouTube algorithms rebuild my profile. I just got a new Roku, didn't sign in but they're pushing me stuff that's narrowing down who I really am based on the information they have. Very interesting.
Adam Lash (@newfoundmass) reported 16 minutes ago
The Shudder Roku app was the worst app I'd ever used until I used the Shudder Fire TV app.
Christopher Stried (@FullStriedAhead) reported 17 minutes ago
A lot of times when you sync up using activation Codes they let you choose your device, Roku or @amazonfiretv. That would help here! :) @Xfinity
Alan Taylor (@Alan_Taylor_314) reported 18 minutes ago
@VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi
Courty (@NascarSTARlite) reported 18 minutes ago
@hbomax @HBO please fix your @Roku app. I shouldn’t have to hunt for the show I’m trying to finish binging! Also “continue watching” doesn’t need to feed me the previous episode that I just finished #bemorelikenetflix
Shakingmyhead (@mitchroachmr2) reported 20 minutes ago
@paramountplus @ufc is not working on any @Roku devices. Works perfectly on my iPhone. Figure it out! I’ve completed all troubleshooting possibilities.

@F1 Roku app is broken. Can’t sign in.
🌻🇺🇦Hangry! (@twistedscamp) reported 25 minutes ago
@roku @Walmart Do any of you care that the updated pushed out to the tvs have effectively bricked them? Having to turn a TV off and back on to change a channel is ridiculous. Fix your software!
Richie (@RichiePuregains) reported 28 minutes ago
Don’t ever buy @Roku theyre making junk that’s overpriced significantly. Every tv I have their POS products to use for @GetSpectrum has problems. By problems I mean everything they have including the most basic functions frequently do not work.
(Rebəl) Shane (@Smoke3x) reported 33 minutes ago
@Roku your @espn app is STILL screwed up! Y’all need to fix it!
Dane001a (@dane001a) reported 38 minutes ago
@Abinitio12 @Roku I can’t get Ryukyu live TV to work
Justlivingonearth (@Justlivingonea2) reported 38 minutes ago
@Roku Roku refuses to let me login to my HBO Max account. Now HBO says email and password don’t look right. Yet when I use the Vizio remote, there’s no problem. 🤷🏼
shelbzilla (@_shelbzilla) reported 40 minutes ago
youtube forcing all brand accounts to be shown on roku is very annoying. i thought for sure they would fix that but it's been like 2 years. i should be able to choose which of my accounts are visible!
Watermelon Sugar (Bisan's version) (@HippieChic82) reported 43 minutes ago
Never mind a 3 hour #SmackDown whatever is going on with @verizon or my @Roku TV. I can't get rid of this damn playback error. I even did a whole damn factory reset to my TV and still getting error code PLYB_122 for over a month. My TV is BARELY 5 years old.
NESN Support (@NESNSupport) reported 46 minutes ago
@JackODonohue @NESN @NESNsucks Hi, this issue was fixed in the Roku version 3.9 update. Please update your Roku device to the new version and restart. Thank you
🤔🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ (@TwittaElite) reported 46 minutes ago
Contacted @RokuSupport last week after their own service (@TheRokuChannel) stopped working properly. A week and a half later, it's still not working. So glad I don't have a subscription through the Roku Channel or I'd be upset.
Mary Ashbaugh (@MaryAshbaugh6) reported 52 minutes ago
@Roku fix your ESPN app please. Tired of the games going backwards and freezing up.
HalfBakedMason (@TDotMason) reported 53 minutes ago
@Roku @YouTube the YouTube app in Roku on my Roku tv is not working properly. black screen. my tv and my YouTube app are fully up to date ... not here ... this is on one of you .... please discuss amongst yourselves then plz fix it

@Roku Hey folks, Roku will not help you if you are being scammed by a third party. Roku will take your money but will not interfere with a fraudulent scam.
Old Bull Lee (@davebudge) reported 54 minutes ago
@Roku Your captcha is garbage, your website is garbage, and I've tried a dozen times to recover my password but keep getting looped back to your goddamn captcha. Please fix your garbage!
A Shubert (@ashubert) reported 55 minutes ago
@Ask_Spectrum is there any plan to fix the "last channel" function on app for @Roku using the RW button. Functioned for years & it just stopped. Every Roku I have no longer has this function. It's really annoying to not be able toggle back/forward. V15.2 B:0
JJJ (@JD99977) reported 56 minutes ago
@Roku I had the worst experience with Aileen in support chat. She was very rude and unhelpful. I love Roku but this is making me very unhappy. I have an overheating device and she said she had to confirm it was overheating before she could help. I mean im telling her. 😞

@NonFactorFGC I can help you get YTP on your IOS Roku is out of my expertise I usually just use anything that supports airplay
Joe McIlvain (@mac_attack54) reported 59 minutes ago
@Roku I’ve seen dollar stores in poor areas with higher quality product than you
Ant Murdering She Devil (@ShelleyElwood) reported 59 minutes ago
@TVMoJoe Roku TV, and I've had the same issue on Fire TVs, I suspect maybe only Apple is overriding whatever wonky code is happening in Peacock (because it's not just me)
