  • QuetzalToon005 QuetzalToon005 (@QuetzalToon005) reported

    @tshwanelomosh @Shayor19 The cool thing about roku is that they can work on older devices unlike Chromecast or firestick

  • _prettybrwnn ♥️ (@_prettybrwnn) reported

    my roku app wont work.

  • Agus_heca Agustin Heredia (@Agus_heca) reported

    @F1Help hi i subscribe on Roku but think I misspelled my email I have all the transaction from Roku and PayPal and password how can I recover the email. Pleas help.

  • DimeStoreRiot Chad Eagleton (@DimeStoreRiot) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Stream w/ Roku. Started Gomorrah. First ep played fine with Italian audio. Second ep only plays the terrible English dub. On the episode screen I have it set to Italian. But when I check the language with the ep playing, it says English and won’t let me switch it.

  • reneedata Renée W. (@reneedata) reported

    @windblowshigh @hbomax @hbomaxmovies I am finishing the film on my laptop. It appears to be a Roku issue.

  • RayPope15 Ray Pope (@RayPope15) reported

    @delatorre Not finding the game on the ESPN Roku app. Anyone else having this problem?

  • bigtheymess just a cute lil ****** *** (@bigtheymess) reported

    eventually just gave up and bought a roku to make it easy, but no time for more problems, tv only has two hdmi ports. it’s a new ******* tv from like maybe 2020.

  • NotMe76096930 NotMe (@NotMe76096930) reported

    @LucyKDenver I was able to stop mine by unplugging the Roku and waiting two minutes before plugging it in again. That might work on your internal unit too. I did about two months ago and it hasn’t acted up since

  • perdue_jrp ʝǟƈզʊɛʟɨռɛ (@perdue_jrp) reported

    @Tennesseine I haven't had any issues with it. What issues are you having? I was having issues with some apps on my old Roku, like HBO Max, but they went away once I upgraded. I dud a little research and found my old Roku didn't have enough storage for the newer apps.

  • MMIRtweets Minoo M 🌎 (@MMIRtweets) reported

    @KathrynHallPR Yes do that. I get Netflix thru Roku streaming on my TV sometimes I uninstall/reinstall Netflix when it runs funny. Might help. Also, check to make sure subtitles are on or check TV settings. Call Netflix too & report b/c it didn’t happen for me. Wierd! Hope you find a solution.

  • ShinobiHaruka Shinobi 🐰 (@ShinobiHaruka) reported

    @Trikslyr @Kachelle__ Which is great, but it shouldn’t be *** on regular streaming devices. Fire Stick, Roku, NVIDIA Shield? Like how is that so hard?! It shouldn’t crash when you try to sign in or when you try to choose every episode

  • HighVoltage103 Kiel Goldych (HighVoltage103) (@HighVoltage103) reported

    @Roku @mariamenounos You need to fix the closed captions settings. They turn off on each new episode of a show I watch when I leave them on.

  • the_megalopolis charm city dweller (@the_megalopolis) reported

    Ads have gotten completely out of control on the Roku Youtube app. It's like borderline unusable at this point

  • karInapLIVE tins! (@karInapLIVE) reported

    MY ROKU TV REMOTE IS NOT WORKING SOMEONE HELP

  • Blumema mike b (@Blumema) reported

    @JBarron02 @jeffjh14 Having to watch this on a tiny thumbnail screen on my phone is awful btw... Star 64 needs a Roku app now

  • ChrisTheApple1 Chris (@ChrisTheApple1) reported

    @danielegentle Very true. Roku has these features too but you have to launch the app and sometimes it doesn’t work, the Apple TV remote on iOS is just as reliable and quick as using the actual remote

  • peteramartin Peter Martin (@peteramartin) reported

    @askparamount Is there a Live TV issue right now? I’m paying for premium and can get my local affiliate (Dallas) on my phone but not the app (Roku TV)?

  • KevMo211 KevMo (@KevMo211) reported

    @hulu_support Shows aren’t remembering where they left off across multiple devices (Roku, iPhone, iPad, etc.). Not every show but many shows. What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

  • Treesgyrl Angela Helt (@Treesgyrl) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum the Spectrum TV app is not working on my Roku. I tried removing and re-adding the channel. Is there an outage? It hasn't worked all day.

  • MMIRtweets Minoo M 🌎 (@MMIRtweets) reported

    @KathrynHallPR Yes do that. I get Netflix thru Roku on TV sometimes I uninstall/reinstall Netflix. Might help. Also, make sure subtitles are on or check TV settings. I know it’s really frustrating when subtitles don’t work. My problem on Viki another Kdrama streaming. Hope you find a solution.

  • Jemappelleamie JemappelleAmie 🌻 (@Jemappelleamie) reported

    You're a movie nut when you spend 60 min trying to workaround a dumb Roku problem to watch a 3-hour subtitled #film. @Roku please fix the issue with Drive My Car. Arigato.

  • YumaRebel Johnny Yuma (@YumaRebel) reported

    @LucyKDenver Darn. ROKU has been having issues today. Check their info page must be some way to reset the built-in. When I reset it stopped timing out. Luck!

  • DevereuxBarbara Barbara Devereux (@DevereuxBarbara) reported

    @carrie4beto Unplug your router for 5 minutes. Plug it back in. Wait 15 minutes more. Now Roku should work.

  • perdue_jrp ʝǟƈզʊɛʟɨռɛ (@perdue_jrp) reported

    @DickiePena @Tennesseine Ugh. Sorry. We only had issues with the one older Roku and haven't had an issue since we replaced that one. Our other streaming devices worked fine.

  • thereal96119019 @thereal (@thereal96119019) reported

    @carrie4beto Go to your phone and download the ROKU app It should help...

  • Double_E_75 Eric Edwards (@Double_E_75) reported

    @hulu_support been trying to watch CBS-WLKY all afternoon from 47112 and continually cuts out. I’ve seen dozens of people complaining, and I’ve done all of the troubleshooting you suggest and still have the issue on both fire stick and roku device.

  • CatVictory Cat Church (@CatVictory) reported

    If Gary Mitchell is so powerful I wish He would fix my glitchy roku #metvstartrek

  • JonesRossie418 Massiel Jones (@JonesRossie418) reported
