    Taking out the remainder of my Amazon Fire Cube controllers @amazon I have 3 and I thought they would all work well. Tried one Roku Stick and it is a much better experience. Too much advertising and useless stuff on Fire Cube plus it never really worked that well with You Tube TV. @Roku

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

    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.

    @thegreat_hair @Roku How to FIX your #ROKU home screen: Go into: -Settings -Home Screen -Recommendation Rows ---> set to HIDE -Quick Access ---> set to HIDE Now everything is back to normal!

    @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.

    I see that @Roku did some post-audio work and looped over the F-Bomb in their promo.

    @red_chem_lite @Roku My yorkie used to chew and we got bitters spray. That helped her a lot. Now she only chews on her toys. My other dog the bitters spray didn’t work as well but he eventually grew out of the chewing phase after a year or two. Maybe try the bitters spray on the remote cover?

    So what absolute ******* retard at @Roku decided that when adding a remote THE ******* BACK, HOME, AND ******* APP BUTTONS DON'T BRING YOU BACK TO THE HOME SCREEN OH AND BEST PART IT DOESNT SAY THIS SO I SAT HERE HITTING EVERY ******* BUTTON BUT THE LEFT BUTTON TO GET IT TO WORK

    @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.

    You do NOT need to sign in to a walmart account to use any roku tv.. @Roku should sue this dude... Now Vizio on the other hand

    @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.

    @Roku @RokuSupport your product is becoming unusable. Constantly unpairing the remote after exiting an app.

    Hey @Hisense_USA @Roku, I bought a brand new 75" tv on july 5th and it's stuck in a boot loop out of the box. I've already tried every troubleshoot with support and emailed my receipt for escalation but now I'm being ghosted. Can someone actually help? Case # is S100002681

  • VakomSunrunner
    Vakom Sunrunner (@VakomSunrunner) reported

    @Roku @RokuSupport Couldn't figure out where to report this but the episode order for The Transformers (1984) series is massively out of order. Not only are episodes not in the official chronological order, you've got season 2 episodes in season 1 and such. Please fix this.

  • JoeKimray
    Joe Kimray (@JoeKimray) reported

    Wow - this new @Roku Home Screen update they forced on everyone is one of the worst technology “upgrades” ever. Lost the ability to customize the Home Screen - and they added a lot of apps no one wants, that you can’t remove. Horrible decision - the customer is always last…

  • KirkYuhnke

    @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.

    Since when is the Roku remote app behind a paywall? My remote is broken and I can’t turn down the volume or turn off the TV and I don’t wanna pay $8.99 like are yall crazy ? 🤨 @Roku

    @ThePriorityPod @Roku I can view my ROKU camera live but the events give errors and won't show In other apps, after a few hours it goes back to the home screen. They really screwed up all the devices apparently

    @tacooghost @Roku I've seen where others have watched the episode already. I was thinking it was a problem with the subscription through Roku TV that was the problem.

    @RepTheDMV @livenowfox Good eye. I am also terribly upset by the piss-poor quality of the breaks on the ROKU Channel. Chopped all to Hell! Does @Roku let AI run it's board? High-School rookies could do a better job!

  • imken24

    @Roku I will NOT send a DM so you can ignore me there. Solve the problem here in public so anyone with the same issue can find a solution.

  • AndrewStaten
    Andrew Staten (@AndrewStaten) reported

    @TCL_USA @Roku So, is there really no way to go back to the old home screen UI? I don't get why companies feel the need to change things that aren't broken. More often than not, they get worse with new UIs.

    Still no help on this btw @Roku

    @red_chem_lite @Roku You need a zapper for when they touch it, they will learn which. Our friends have two boxers that were like this and within the week they were broken.

    @Roku Who do I need to contact about an issue with a commercial on your service? My mother saw an ad for a assistance card, and since she did that, she has been getting non stop spam calls meaning a commercial on YOUR service sold her phone number.

    Low-key hate roku I hit the ok button multiple times nothing but if I so much as accidentally touch the guide button I get my YouTube video sent to the ******* backrooms @Roku fix your **** NOW

  • rables73
    Rob Ables (@rables73) reported

    @Roku Hi @Roku thanks but as I stated in the original post, it does it on all 4 of my Roku devices, so it is not a restart issue. Also, it is only the @MLB app. None of my other apps have this issue or other buffering. The MLB app does it multiple times per game and gets stuck.

  • mrhappybw
    Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported

    @BrianKemm @Roku Mine is the hdmi ports are corrupted and it is for sure on them as I tried different cable even used a different TV and no issue. If I unplug cables and do an audio/visual reset it will “fix” it for a day then it comes back. It is listed as known issue since update.

    Are there any good music apps that work on @Roku? Because the @amazonmusic app just plays completely random songs no matter which song I actually select.
