    @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.

    @slinganswers Same issue here. I'm in Puerto Rico it's been almost a week I've had to watch nba playoff games and other content on my phone instead of my roku TV. Looks like I'll be canceling my Sling since there's no fix in sight.

    @Ask_Spectrum @Roku funny the last rep I posed this to hadn't heard about this problem. My brother was going nuts & pressed every button & found out you guys moved it. It's now the 10 second rewind button. So never mind. But you can add this bit of knowledge to your repertoire.

    Anyone else have issues with @Roku remotes? 3rd time replacing it and now the one I bought in January is broken and they won't replace it either!

    @Roku @caseyrosewilson Latest update on Roku has brought on tons of issues. Can't remove finished listings from continue watching, completing episodes goes on to random programs, etc. And periodically it just resets itself. How about rolling back to stability?

    @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. 🤷🏼

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel Keep getting connection issue error and telling me to check my connection, then it dumps me back to main Roku menu. Connection is fine. I have no problems with other apps, just with Roku Channel. I have checked for updates and rebooted. Still getting error.

    @Roku Help. Return to me freezes and locks up.

    Don’t buy a @Roku brand tv. They come with the brightest all the way down so you can’t see the screen and even Roku no support can’t fix it.

    @MsSariBrooke @Roku I can’t work out how to watch it here in the UK 😩

    Dear @Spotify and @Roku , It has come to my attention that @Google is regulalrly attacking my Roku streaming device. The first time I installed a Chromecast in the house, my Google Play functionality immediately disappeared from my Roku player. I was forced to use the YouTube app, but could only see movies I had purchased, no TV shows. Recently, I tried connecting the Chromecast to our new wifi. It said I needed to donload the Google Home app to change the wifi, so I did. From that point on, anytime I watch a podcast on Spotify, the video will not work. None of this is a problem on my phone, sitting in the same room, usung rhe same accounts on the same wifi. The common denominators here are me installing or updating something on my Google Chromecast and instantly having a major, negative change to my Roku streaming box. How is this legal? Why is Google allowed to attack my Roku player and disable functionality from other apps?

    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

    @Roku Are you guys having some kind of outage? One of my devices failed to update... I factory reset it and now cannot add Apps. Your web site says there is a known issue. How about an update?

    @Ask_Spectrum is there a problem with the spectrum app on Roku and the cell phone?

    For years I had my elderly mother perfectly able to operate her @Roku TV. Now the software is so convoluted and dumb I can't even figure out how to fix it for her anymore. It just wants to stream everything with no antenna channels. It was fine and they broke it with software.

    @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.
