    My Amazon Fire TV is ****** AGAIN. I swear I’m cursed, this is like the fifth one to die in three years. Time for Roku I guess. I had my first gen Roku until last year with no problems. End whine.

    @askparamount I am having trouble getting my local station on my Roku stick. I live in Chicago area, but it is saying my local station is Peoria

    @Deacon_Booze We have an Apple TV and I love it. Roku is the worst so just skip that option.

    .@YESNetwork please fix your app on Roku, for months it would say that you’re unauthorized to watch even with a tv provider, and now all it does is crash whenever you’re in the app. Opening day is 2 hours away and we shouldn’t have to be dealing with this.

    @Ask_Spectrum I have Roku and the Spectrum app will not load and when it does sign in won’t work. My Spectrum app on my phone won’t load.

    @lincoln927 I have different issues every PPV. Revolution had minor hickups every 5 minutes. I have had issues trying to use it on anything that's not a Roku but that may be fixed by now.

    @YESNetwork What is wrong with your APP? I can't get it to work on either Roku or my Phone? When I use my roku it loads and then just crashes and goes back to ROKU home screen and when I use my phone it says "generic failure" @YankeesPR @Yankees

    @YESNetwork Your Roku app doesn’t even work, and you want to charge people $25/mo?!

    @ShaunanKruse @ericaberry2001 We use our Apple TV at home, and a cheap roku stick when we’re away. Roku is good enough, but we had problems switching to Thom’s audio stream last time. I ended up airplaying from my iPad to the roku which worked fine.

    @YESNetwork I have the app but it's not working with @Roku. I've tried everything - removing the channel, restarting the system. It's not working. What's going on?!???!

    @DIRECTV just signed up for an account. Login and then app gets stuck on Directv Logo and just flickers and doesn't load. Roku Ultra. Have tried all trouble shooting ideas online. Suggestions before I cancel?

    @bjnsing1 @YESNetwork @boblorenz It works in CT. Their app just doesn’t work on Roku or Google TV. I just bought the subscription and I can watch the network on the iPhone app. Whenever I go on the Roku app tho it keeps telling me I don’t have a subscription or I’m not authorized to view their content.

    I’m not gon hold you, at this point I feel like suing @Roku these dudes just stealing money and not offering no legitimate fixes for issues with the product. Just Slow *** dms and bullshit

    @CHoustonSD I’m using FuboTV since I can stream it through Roku. I’m thinking of splitting the cost but need to confirm more than one person at a time can stream off my login

    @IvanTheK True …and btw…. Roku with half a billion at SVB is one of the worst corporate Treasurer decisions since Nakatomi’s bearer bonds in Die Hard ….

    Hmmm thinking about how aymeric got really used to hugging roku when they sleep so that whenever roku is gone he has to hug a pillow to help him sleep easier :[c

    @nalu_ftg @Crunchyroll I don’t have any issues watching on my iPhone, 4K Android tv stick, and Nintendo Switch. I’ve seen a few people complain about the fire tv stick and roku apps.
