    @roku now it turns out that if I don't have internet I can't watch broadcast TV. What a terrible system, I'll never buy a TV with Roku again.

  • Smigman1

    @Roku ROKU got rid of their community support forum. Their TVs are now like the rest. When buying my next one, it will be which one has my apps and which one has the best price and picture quality. The support forum was a huge plus. Goodbye Roku.

    @Roku after being a long time customer for over 15 years and bought over 15 devices from you, the best you can offer is 30% off when one of your most expensive devices stops working because of a hardware issue?!?! Not to mention terrible customer support!!!

    @Roku my hdmi ports are being fucky. Please update your software to fix the issue. Its on multiple tvs.

  • Country2018gal

    I've been watching movies on the @Roku . The last 2 never showed the ending but immediately went to the next one in the app. What gives? I may stop watching those movies, if it continues to do that. Anyone else have that problem?

    @red_chem_lite @Roku Did you try the anti-nail biting pen I mentioned last time? LoL I'm just INSANELY curious if it would work...

  • MikeyBoom32
    Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported

    @Roku Roku tells you force restart, unplug and do the secret remote cache restart. None of it works because the new software sucks. If your lucky enough to not have a bricked tv you are left with just horrible service. FIX THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.Hopefully Fox will rethink the purchase

  • Dukefan11

    @Roku I'm a minimalist. On the home screen, your recent update added several items such as "the best across your streaming services" row, "jump to" row & an add apps button. The screen now feels very cluttered. Please help me hide these. ChatGPT says it cant be done.

    @Roku one of your updates completely crashed my Roku brand TV. Any support tips? This seems to be a common issue in recent weeks.

    @ParisHilton @Roku @DEADLINE Typos above, sorry, long day working… back channel reporting was the chase and follow type (refused that line of work, also turned down National Enquirer ps.) — point being, it was hellish trying to stay true to journalism while being groomed and encouraged to write trash then.

  • crufro

    The issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?

  • Nerd4915
    Stacey (@Nerd4915) reported

    @Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.

  • arnettjerry66

    @Roku Trying to get ahold of Support on Roku is impossible anymore They have a chat section that doesn't work when pressed, I canceled my trial offer and still get charged for a month's worth! I think I'm going to have to end Roku now

  • MLandry70
    Novangelus (@MLandry70) reported

    Are there any good music apps that work on @Roku? Because the @amazonmusic app just plays completely random songs no matter which song I actually select.

  • rables73
    Rob Ables (@rables73) reported

    @Roku Hi @Roku thanks but as I stated in the original post, it does it on all 4 of my Roku devices, so it is not a restart issue. Also, it is only the @MLB app. None of my other apps have this issue or other buffering. The MLB app does it multiple times per game and gets stuck.

    @Roku @ASStrogurl24 @Roku you all need to work with charter spectrum on the spectrum app because it has lots of glitches. There's not an app that glitches anywhere close to the spectrum app. FYI

  • JLGlazer

    @Roku hello. I need help repairing a remote with my Roku. I have followed instructions online, but it’s not working.

    @Roku tv is by far the WORST! They are unstable and CANNOT manage their Products...I want my money back on this JUNK!!! (NOTE to self: Buy ANY product other than ROKU)

    @red_chem_lite @Roku You need a zapper for when they touch it, they will learn which. Our friends have two boxers that were like this and within the week they were broken.

    @Roku @meetatmidnights Doesn't work. All I get is the options to close or remove.

    @hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.

    You do NOT need to sign in to a walmart account to use any roku tv.. @Roku should sue this dude... Now Vizio on the other hand

    the new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.

    @Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.

    Hey @Roku I not happy right now! Tried to get an issue settled, and your AI assistant was no help. Tried to call corporate customer service, it said I might not even get a call back! REALLY!!!
