🎣 (@SpangleAngler) reported@Roku If the playback speed on Roku TV for U-Tube videos suddenly stopped working and that feature is no longer even available (it once was), is that fixable through Roku support or is that @YouTube who would fix it? Our family's TV used to have playback speed options but now doesn't

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!
-
Arlene (@zfatcat2) reported@EarperMarine @Roku Are other people having the same problem? It's a Roku and/or TV programming issue that affects the apps running on it. Jeez...what a pain...I'm sure. 😳

Maya Belle (@cblanknyc) reported@Roku I just lost my job & started poring over every dollar going out. That’s when I found I’d paid $269.78 in monthlies for ESPN. Which I didn’t order & never watched in my life. Cancelled but could only get a month refund. I should’ve noticed, but didn’t. Please help.
-
Keny2 (@yas6444) reported@Roku POOR execution! great idea. I have many roku sound bars thinking they had all I want - WRONG! They all, within 9 months, have problems with: pairing to TVs, won't turn on TV or Roku box, sound crackles, Batteries drain FAST, etc. AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE reply! don't buy...
-
Moe's Place (@MeetYouAtMoes) reported@Roku Thanks for the response. Yup. Tried that. Doesn't work. And the buffering is constant. It only happens on the Blaze App. It makes it completely unwatchable.
-
🌪Jeff Schipull🦌 (@ojkoj) reported@Roku my hdmi ports are being fucky. Please update your software to fix the issue. Its on multiple tvs.
-
Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported@Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv

-
Morticia (@Morticia121212) reported@tacooghost @Roku Well, they still never fixed it. It's a problem with the Roku TV version, I'm pretty sure. I went & got the free trial at Amazon video & it is on there! Yay!
-
Stella Sassier (@stella_sassier) reported@Roku for the love of GOD STOP CHANGING OUR HOME MENUS AND SETTINGS I did not need every single one of my tv input options forced into my app section with no way of removing them Your “help” is not appreciated
-

-
Rob Ables (@rables73) reported@MLB can you please fix your streaming app for @Roku and Apple TV so they don’t suck? EVERY SINGLE game I watch on ANY of my streaming devices stops at least 3-4 times per game with spinning circle of death. No other apps have buffering problems on my 1GB line and mesh WiFi.
-
court (@allherdanger) reportedIdk wtf Roku did but every time I'm paused too long now it doesn't go to the screensaver I have set up, it goes to a Roku thing and then I can't get out of that screen without going to the home screen first?? FIX IT @Roku and don't you dare blame me, I checked my settings
-
Johnny Ryall (@FunkyBoss_) reported@amazonfiretv the new update is terrible. Fix this please before many of us switch to another streaming service. @Roku
-
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.

Frog Salsa (@FrogSalsa7625) reported@Roku Dear Roku. Please fix the HDMI issue with Playstation 5! Ever since your new 'improvements', my TV shows a blank screen and repeated attempts cause it to crash and reboot. Also, I hate that I cannot control the way I want the home screen to appear the way it was before.
