Todd (@twchristensen) reportedDear @Roku @rokuone I have been nothing but a fan and advocate, until now. Your last update is atrocious. I don’t know who your UX/UI team are or what they were thinking, but they got this all wrong. I could not be more unhappy. You turned one click into 3 or 4. How could that have ever been your goal? Who approved this? It’s just absurd. I will be looking for alternatives because that’s how bad you’ve broken this. And don’t think I didn’t notice that you continue to jam Howdy down my throat. I have deleted it every time, why would you continue to force us to have that channel when we say we don’t want it? It is clear to me that Roku no longer cares about what the customer wants - the death spiral of just about every company that has ever existed. You ruined a good thing. It is going to have unforeseen consequences, starting with me. Unless, of course, your goal was to shed users. All five of my TV’s will be turned over to another streamer by end of next week as I do some research. What a shame.

Cream the Barber (@creamthebarber) reported@Roku Just bought a new stick just a few months ago, and it’s already taken a crap on me. Freezes all the time, and now doesn’t pick up my WiFi. It was fine when I first got it, now it just doesn’t work. And this is about the 4th stick that’s done this. Really terrible. Smh.

Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@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?
-
William Hurst (@William45811350) reported@TCL_Global I will never buy one of your products every again because of the garbage @Roku does. i should not need to connect to the Internet to make changes on my TV. Absolutely terrible. I paid $1000 for my TV, I should have comple control of it. Never again.

Nic (@LilNic000) reportedHey @DisneyPlus, why are subtitles not working today? First, I tried this week's episode of #OnlyMurders, then I tried the first episode of series 2 of #HighPotential, and neither had any subtitles. I'm in the UK and using a @Roku stick to stream. #Accessibility
-
austin bb (@popespeed) reported@Sling on @Roku Sling channels with scoreboard inset (e.g. ESPN), the Roku "*" function button does not work (to bring up menu to adjust brightness/other settings). Have to exit to a different channel before I can adjust settings. Is there a fix (or way to disable scoreboards)?
-
Brian Hoyt (@OhioBrian) reportedWho else is having serious lag and spooling on @YouTubeTV tonight on @Roku. No other streaming services have issues. Yes, I have restarted the app and the whole #Roku This seems to happening more and more. The service was more reliable before they started jacking up prices
-
Reverend Sarah (@revsarahgarner) reported@Roku @FRANCE24 Your channel on my Roku TV is not working. France24 channel. One of my go-to channels.

RockHead Regolith (@RockHeadRego) reported@Roku How do I get James Rhey Roku Customer Support to respond to my request for help regarding the vertical lines that have appeared on my recently purchased Roku TV?
-
DeluluDad (@BagLampPillow) reportedFix: On my TCL Roku TV whenever I would turn a movie on Disney+ it would turn to a dark almost black screen. after I turned the Backlight down from 100, it worked.
-
Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @Roku Why did you mess up the main menu? Now I've got a bunch of stuff, I don't want, that I have to scroll through to get to my apps, and I can't remove or move them. Also the app icons are smaller? Seriously? Fix this, please, and stop messing with our menus. #Roku

Old Cynic (@SorryImDeadTru) reportedI have had @Roku streaming and TVs for over 7-8 years. I have currently 5 Roku TVs in my house. And I am about to dump them all. One about 6 months ago just went black screen. Fine it was cheap replaced it. Might have failed because of the issue in the recent class-action. But what is really getting me ready to leave the platform is Roku search. It always pushes the rental or paid options over what is available from the streaming services I already have. EVERYTIME. I'm looking for something to watch find a couple things in this app or that app, keep looking around decide XYZ movie is the best I'll find right now, but can't remember which out of the 5 I saw it in, go search and the options presented are paid. Half the time it doesn't even include the streaming services it knows I pay for. @Roku you are pushing too hard on your profit over the customer experience that has had me over the years adopt and standardize on. Example. Free on Peacock but these are the options you present.

Michael Brand (@michaelbrandorg) reported@hbomaxhelp On @roku, can't get MTL-CAR hockey game. Erroneous message, "Event has ended". Have a fix?

David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported from Rome, LatiumDear @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?
