    @Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

    @Roku your latest software update / redesign is quite bad. Is the intention to slow our devices down so we'll have to buy new ones? Please revert to the way it was or modify so our devices will not be so slow and almost unusable. New does not equal better.

    @Roku just got home from work, sat down to watch the game on Peacock. But guess what. Your stupid widget had the France Spain score displayed. One of the last few world cup matches left to watch and your stupid home screen ruined it for me🤬🤬🤬🤬

    I see that @Roku did some post-audio work and looped over the F-Bomb in their promo.

    So I pay for a subscription on @Roku payment goes through they get the money. Subscription does not work. @Roku is good at taking the money but… that’s where their part ends taking the $$. **** doesn’t work and zero real support. You ******* suck and I’m going back to cable.

    Don't know whether it's my @TCL_USA @Roku TV or my @dish Hopper 3, but Lordy, I have to do a hard reboot on them nearly everyday to get them to work together.

    @Roku fix everything about the new OS! I mean why is the only option on quick access to remove something!? Why can't they be moved? What the heck!?

    @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Problem is... finding an actual "dumb tv" is almost impossible anymore. The business model for TV companies has shifted. They don't make $ when I buy the TV anymore.

    @red_chem_lite @Roku Try the bitter apple spray, it really deters some dogs from chewing specific items. A little of it rubbed on the remote might work. Also have you tried the ultrasonic sound deterrent? That stopped our dogs from bad behaviors. If you see them going near the remote press it. After a few times they should associate the remote with that unpleasant sound (that only they can hear!) Good luck

    @BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.

    haven't been able to watch @espn on @roku for weeks because the app is effed up and apparently using an outdated login token (have uninstalled and reinstalled already). Fortunately it works on my @madebygoogle gtv chromecast, so we're (mostly) fine.

    @Roku Yea i do that all the time…. It’ll work for 1-5/10 turn ons then back to having to manual connect, or restart

    Hey @Roku @NFL you need to fix the nfl app it wont open. I have uninstalled and reset everything. Every year the nfl app is the worst app ever invented. I enjoy NFL plus but man you guys gotta make an app that works all the time for once.

    @roku so you sell me on your wireless surround sound then discontinue the products that work with it so that when one dies I can't even use a measly discount code on your website to replace the device! Garbage!

    @Roku Problems since the update: 1. Sound goes away for DVD player. 2. Sometimes DVD player will no longer play to TV. Restarting fixed it temporarily - until today. 3. Spontaneous resolution changes after a sleep timer is used. 4. Trouble communicating with cable box.

    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?

    @Roku Dear Roku. Please fix the HDMI issue with Playstation 5! Ever since your new 'improvements', my TV shows a blank screen and repeated attempts cause it to crash and reboot. Also, I hate that I cannot control the way I want the home screen to appear the way it was before.

    @Roku How do we turn this **** off? It doesn’t work for people who use inputs just as much as streaming. I want to sort my Home Screen how I want it. Ironically how my parents Samsung TV does.

    @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
