@DarlesCharrwin Bally’s app on Roku literally will not work for me until like the 2nd Quarter. It’s like that every game. It only works on my phone or laptop

@realJackEason Is it a smart TV? A Chromecast could solve your problem, cheaply, but Google's been phasing out the (good, intuitive, phone-dependent) original Chromecasts in favor of new, gaudy Roku-lite version, but I've seen them on sale as low as $15, which's kind of a steal.

@iamyourfarmer We tried two different fire sticks. Always froze during live tv, or screen was pixelated. Bought a Roku never been an issue. The Roku app is worth the purchase itself.

@PhilFlowersX Thanks for letting us know. Did you download MP directly onto your set, or on a 3rd party device like Roku or Apple? If it's the set, what brand? Try refreshing the set or device and checking for software updates to it. That can sometimes cause these kind of issues.

My @Roku has shown “Not Connected” for 72 straight hours despite it saying my wifi has excellent signal strength. Every week it does this for at least a few hours. No reset / disconnect / ping solution works. What an awful product - buying a fire stick tomorrow 🤬🤬 #Roku sucks.

Looking for recommendations for a streaming stick to use with my portable LED projector. Roku? Chromecast? Amazon Fire Stick? Are they basically all the same? Help an old guy out friends…..

@drwave Have you considered running a separate wifi network for the IoT devices for good hygiene? Say for Roku, Samsung, ecobee, random shenzhen controller for the cat feeder. I am hoping UDM Pro will help me set up a separate’network for these.

@HBOMaxHelp This is an issue with the movie itself. It wouldn't be the same on Google TV and Roku if it wasn't. It wouldn't be the same on HBO Max as it is on Hulu. Dozens of other people wouldn't experience the same issue. It's the movie's audio itself that needs fixing.

@SonnyBunch Referencing your last point, I wonder if one of the biggest issues for apple+ is that there's no Google app. In my house or on the road, I watch a lot of stuff on my samsung tablet. I can only watch apple+ on my roku TV, which I can't keep away from young kids either.

It’s not New Year’s dinner until your 80 yr old Ukrainian mother-in-law insists that you’re wrong and she knows exactly why Paramount Plus isn’t working properly on her Roku TV. After asking for your help. 🙃 С Новым годом!

Other Roku players may work as well. I just know this setup because it's what I'm running. You can even get a free HDMI extender sent to you if the space is too narrow for the stick to fit. The URL to request is in the instructions and you will need the serial number.

@unclebarkycom I still find their site to be limited. Those shows are all good. What drove me crazy with apple is I’ve had constant issues with Roku apple app. Finally fixed it by changing all the hdmi chords. Which is crazy as every other app worked fine. Apple is just frustrating.

@TeamYouTube Interesting. @YouTubeTV was interested in helping me several months ago when I first tweeted. Terrible lag when watching via Chromecast. Not as bad via Roku. Also, No way to know what recorded shows I've watched. No indication on guide if show is rerun.

You are really testing me @Roku. My remote seems to be dead. It was never great, I had to pull the batteries often. 3rd party ones don't seem to work with my device. You want $15 for one that does, but I can get a new Roku for $25. I hate eWaste. Do you recycle? Free?

@DoodyGiuliani1 @JaklinKendell @hbomax Not on my roku streaming stick. But the lack of subtitles, I expect, is the fault of HBO and not roku. I will be canceling as well since they can't seem to fix anything.

@AppleTV for more than a week I have been trying to watch See on the Apple app on Roku but it is broken. HBO, Netflix work so I know it is the Apple app that is malfunctioning.
