-
Doc Myers (@JDMyers77397139) reportedI wish you two, @Roku and @Crunchyroll could work it out that I could watch my subscription when I'm away from home and my Roku t.v. Letting me watch on smartphone.
-
John Joseph Bonforte (@BonforteJohn) reported@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.
-
Lonell Fletcher III (@iii_lonell) reported@Roku fix your live tv displays. It shouldn’t be so hard to list what’s being shown when it’s supposed to be in constant rotation. I’m sick of seeing NO DATA AVAILABLE
-
Ken Hudson (@shareastronomy) reportedI need to get off of @Roku here in the US. Changing the home page was the last straw. Any suggestions for an alternative? I could use some help.
-
shelby #ExtendAdley (@bigshelbss) reported@Roku your new Home Screen layout is dogshit fix immediately
-
Mare Loch (@Mare_Loch) reported@Roku Hey! Fix your closed captioning! Doesn’t even work on your own commercial channels. You know, the channels that show commercials every two minutes? Do you hate the hearing impaired or what?
-
Smigman (@Smigman1) reported@Roku ROKU got rid of their community support forum. Their TVs are now like the rest. When buying my next one, it will be which one has my apps and which one has the best price and picture quality. The support forum was a huge plus. Goodbye Roku.
-
Zakk Cornish-Fraser (@ZakkRyan) reported@swiftfairy_13 @DiscussingFilm @Roku I highly recommend any tv that doesn’t have a build in service like Roku. Many makers and retail chains can sell same models but last few numbers are dif so you get less quality out of it. There’s some fantastic options out there though
-
Mitch (@MizNizzle) reported@hooplaDigital programming on @roku tvs has problems with closed captioning. Won’t display text. Happens across multiple TVs/setups. Can’t pause video either. Happens a lot.
-
Lisa (@_lovablecurves) reported@Roku wtf your backend is bent and broken it’s making use a 2FA but after trying and begging it for a ******* code to my email twenty times it hasn’t sent me a single ******* one you are the reason people are miserable and insane this **** is so ******. I hate companies like yours that make life hard for no ******* reason. I gave you a correct password and login let me get in my account wtf you ******* ********. You’re wasting my precious time on your failing tech and you fail you’re incompetent and you suck ***.
-
Fletch will return in Avengers Doomsday (@IMFletcher2) reported@BigKorn80 @Roku That doesn't work now.
-
SlowdownMemes (@PokeyTexan) reported@YouTube please fix the Jump Forward feature on your @Roku app. I don’t care whose end of the tech it’s on. I pay for three YT Premium, so that my kiddos don’t infect my feed or complain about what each other watch. I’ve told them “ give it a few days to patch it”. It’s been hell
-
Kaiju Cowboy (@GojiraOmega) reported@Roku @RokuSupport Awful... Absolutely god-awful
-
HockeyDad2A&Z (@HockeyDad2AandZ) reportedHey @Roku, no one asked you to do up the home screen. I used to be able to have HDMI 1 and 2 in the top row and now I have to go into the inputs to select them. That's stupid bullshit. I want my old home screen back. Not this fkng mess. Fix this.
-
Mike Bryant (@djmikebryant) reported@Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks
-
Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported@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!
-
Jesus's Flunky (@CrucifiedAgape) reportedDon'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.
-
Arika ⸆⸉ ♡ (@arikajeannoel) reported@Roku This is TERRIBLE! How do I revert back to the old home screen. Literally no one asked for this
-
Marvin Barry (@GravelyKen48135) reportedThe Netflix button is way too close to the play/pause button on the Roku remote. Pls fix @Roku @netflix
-
Lord Sammy Gato (@lordsammygato) reported@Roku Wow, those changes to the app are terrible! Thanks! 👍
-
Matthew Smith (@MattSmithFOX13) reported@KirkYuhnke @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Our dumb TV is 10+ years old — biggest issue we’ve ever had: a volume button is a little touchy. We’ve swapped out smart tech multiple times, always on sale. Likely saved us a crazy amount of $$$ in a decade-plus.
-
cru λ (@crufro) reportedThe issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?
-
Travis Lausch (@lauscho1) reported@RaceCanada_ca @TSN_Sports @Roku (realistically, I'm guessing there was some kind of error and one that was actually expertly quickly fixed... but still, that damn near made my heart stop)
-
🌪Jeff Schipull🦌 (@ojkoj) reported@Roku my hdmi ports are being fucky. Please update your software to fix the issue. Its on multiple tvs.
-
Connie Jeffus (@nikbus99) reported@Roku can't sign in. no email sent to reset p/w. can't find customer chat support. Please cancel free trial of Great Courses
-
LG (@lisagrim2002) reported@Roku I have Backdrops set to start after 1 min of inactivity. It never starts on its own. I never had this issue with the photo streams app. It always started reliably. I've looked online for trouble shooting (like start it manually) then it might work once but not anymore
-
burownidl (@burownidl01) reported@Roku @TheRokuChannel @foxone For anyone following and has the same issue. I contacted Roku support via their website and chatted with online support. It looks like they fixed my problem as I can see the Worldcup pregame show now
