    @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.

    @red_chem_lite @Roku Did you try the anti-nail biting pen I mentioned last time? LoL I'm just INSANELY curious if it would work...

    @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!

    @Roku might be the worst TV brand ever. Remotes never work, when you try to use a mobile remote it can never connect to the TV.. Let’s get it together.

    Why isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!

    @paramountplus @Roku @RokuSupport Paramount Plus support already told me they can't help, I just paid for a subscription and it won't connect

    @Roku I did that. Didn't help. Many People on Twitter had same issue with Paramount Plus.

    I have no idea what anyone else thinks, but @Roku's new Home Screen adds are awful!! There is NO way to remove the adds. All they do is clutter up the screen. I've used Roku for over a decade. Bought several, including for others - just loved them. Now? They're so annoying, I may need to find an alternative. It's just not for me. And they don't even let me "hide" them. Not cool. I neither need nor want all this junk.

    man, @Roku has absolutely destroyed my TV. almost totally unusable

  • KirkYuhnke
    Rhymes with funky (@KirkYuhnke) reported

    @MatthewKeysLive @Roku Problem is... finding an actual "dumb tv" is almost impossible anymore. The business model for TV companies has shifted. They don't make $ when I buy the TV anymore.

    Why is @Roku customer service the worst

  • StangXx
    Wicked King (@StangXx) reported

    @Roku I know my internet is down right now, but why doesn't my "live tv" app work during this? I can watch the thumbnail and TV is working, but I'm stuck on that channel cuz the app itself won't load and allow me to change the channel. This is absurd

  • trapuh

    @Roku Problem started July 5th I’ve tried everything, sound still works but tv screen is still like the picture above, I’ve seen on Reddit that your tvs do this to plenty of people i don’t think anybody has a fix for it yet

  • Peter_B_Jones
    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!

  • DenyTheMarkClub
    DenyTheMarkClub™ (@DenyTheMarkClub) reported

    @Roku tv is by far the WORST! They are unstable and CANNOT manage their Products...I want my money back on this JUNK!!! (NOTE to self: Buy ANY product other than ROKU)

  • BRH1776

    @Roku I’m trying to cancel my subscription to @AngelStudiosInc every time I try to, tells me I got no subscriptions with you. I got a few. Angel says I can’t cancel because I gotta go through yall. Help.

  • bleezy_db

    @Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.

  • Qhu_NFT

    I have had it with @Amazon Fire Stick. I have a subscription to Shudder and Starz. I can no longer play them without buying a new subscription thru Amazon. I have a @Roku TV upstairs and have no issues playing my subscriptions. Today I ordered another Roku controller for downstairs. Shame on you Amazon. Bye fire stick. Just warning anyone who is thinking about fire stick.

    @Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.

    @Roku Wow, those changes to the app are terrible! Thanks! 👍

    @Roku please bring back the other Home Screen. This new one is awful. Thanks

    I 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.

    @Roku This is possibly the worst update in recent history. I have disconected my ultra and using the built in Vizio apps now, that is how bad it is. Looking for better solutions elsewhere #roku

    @Hisense_USA So I call Hisense and they were helpful but didn't fix the problem. They referred me to @Roku support. After a brief time on the phone with them the issue was corrected. Both were helpful which frankly is surprising these days.

    @Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.
