-
Wallybonkers™️ (@WhtTheActualFuk) reportedJust a consumer FYI!!! @Roku WILL NOT HONOR A WARRANTY. My Roku ultra will not keep connectivity. Done ALL troubleshooting. Called my internet provider. JUMPED THROUGH A MILLION HOOPS, still boots off. After all this I get told sorry, your warranty don’t cover connection issues🤔
-
scottycatt (@scottycatt) reported@Roku @TheRokuChannel Just had the worst customer service experience with ROKU. Dealt with 6-7 different reps. Each one telling a different story of why my purchased subscriptions wouldn’t work. Ranged from uninformed to just plain lazy & uninterested in helping. NEVER AGAIN!

Brian Richards 🕔 (@CptCracker) reported@thatoneguychaz @FOXSoccer @Roku Fox One is a hot mess. They seem to have blown it on capacity planning. A Grok survey of complaints confirms the issues are multi platform. Roku has a 100 million user base so they are going to get mentioned more than others, but it's cross platform. If there's something roku can do to help fix thst would be great though. The games on Fox over the air have worked just fine. This is when having a $40 Walmart antenna or even better a Tablo antenna tuner/dvr is helpful. The problem is they seem to have 37 games scheduled for streaming only.

Tim Wesolek (@WesolekTim) reported@Roku I live in the Washington DC DMA..but you keep putting me in the Charleston WV DMA..for work I need to be able to see DC stations! How do you make this happen ASAP!!
-
Justlivingonearth (@Justlivingonea2) reported@Roku Roku refuses to let me login to my HBO Max account. Now HBO says email and password don’t look right. Yet when I use the Vizio remote, there’s no problem. 🤷🏼

David Cornell (@Cakefacethedad) reported from Rome, LatiumDear @Spotify and @Roku , It has come to my attention that @Google is regulalrly attacking my Roku streaming device. The first time I installed a Chromecast in the house, my Google Play functionality immediately disappeared from my Roku player. I was forced to use the YouTube app, but could only see movies I had purchased, no TV shows. Recently, I tried connecting the Chromecast to our new wifi. It said I needed to donload the Google Home app to change the wifi, so I did. From that point on, anytime I watch a podcast on Spotify, the video will not work. None of this is a problem on my phone, sitting in the same room, usung rhe same accounts on the same wifi. The common denominators here are me installing or updating something on my Google Chromecast and instantly having a major, negative change to my Roku streaming box. How is this legal? Why is Google allowed to attack my Roku player and disable functionality from other apps?

Skippy QSB (@Skippyqsb) reported. @CBSNews what's going on with the CBS News app on @Roku . Only a few videos in the main area, Sunday Morning area has no videos, lastest eps of 48 HRS and 60 Minutes not loaded. Please fix. #CBSNews #ROKU

Mark Tapanes (@MarkTapanes) reported@RokuSupport @Roku I’ve emailed 5x on case 00135722 and then yesterday I got an email asking if I still need help. Still need help- thanks!
-
Javier 🌱 (@janilom81) reported@foxone @FIFAWorldCup My apologies Fox. The app issue is on @Roku.
-
The Mosquito (@URNTRBL) reportedI have no pictures on any @NBCSports @nba on my @Roku right now. All other apps work!
-
✘ 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐒𝐎𝐍 (@RiseLordWilson) reported@Roku Day 9,000 of asking you to fix your **** *** private listening on your app.
-
TeRIFIER44 (@JonKjackson) reported@RhondaShear @Roku I cannot find a single thing about Up All Night. Please help.??!!!
-
Lucas Soares (@lucasgsoares11) reported@F1Help @Roku @tvglobo This broadcast is becoming unbearable. The audio is out of sync, now there’s a random zoom that fixes nothing. Ever since it moved to Globo, it’s been nothing but headaches. The broadcast quality is terrible, and honestly I’m seriously considering stopping
-
Melt Wizard (@melt_wizard) reported@Roku @DeeRugz718 This **** is awful!!! Change it back!!!
-
Ki (@Ki_fun_thoughts) reported@Ask_Spectrum I noticed a bill for $115 MORE on my Spectrum. Turns out, without getting my permission, anyone can add TV services from their TV. Spectrum blamed @Roku - NOT Roku's fault! This is 100% Spectrum ALLOWING my credit card to be billed. Yo Spectrum, FIX IT!
-
Roman Empire (@saveusroman) reported@Roku fix your espn app.
-
Bill Foody (@CnsmrsFightBack) reported@Roku dipshits, your new "backdrops" screensaver doesn't work. It just hangs on the splashscreen on Roku TV #incompetent
-
Bill Howell (@Bill_Howell_) reported@Roku I have done all that and I am not the only one complaining about this. Interesting an older Roku device in another room doesn't have this issue. It started with a new purchase of a new 4k streaming stick.
-
RJ Financial Group (@businesslendin1) reported@Roku I need help. My 3 emails are already full as you max out at 20. What’s the solution I own multiple Airbnb’s and I only install Roku TV’s.
-
Rych Rage (@RychRage) reported@Roku @jjscomedy Roku, we shouldn't have to connect to the internet to watch OTA channels. Please fix this. If there is an internet outage, which does happen, then Roku users are screwed from even our local OTA channels.
-
[a case of the blog] (@acaseofthetwit) reportedI normally love my @Roku — I have one for each TV! — but my living room one has been a real issue. The remote randomly stopped working and the device itself now reboots itself multiple times a day (often in the middle of viewing something). Very annoying.
-
Scott (@revscottd) reportedOur @Shentel internet has been out all day. That means no cable tv (because they stream it now), no phone (because our home phone relies on the internet) and @Roku tv’s have to have internet so the app to watch over the air antenna tv can work. 1/2
-
MrScottFletcher (@MrScottFletcher) reported@Roku - your latest updates have really borked antenna live TV recording. Almost unusable. Rewind works until it doesn’t, sometimes just wipes out the buffer, doesn’t show the cursor/scrub time on the timeline, no more thumbnails while scrubbing? Ouch.
-
Samantha (@Samanthawood2k) reported@Roku Yes I have, but it didn’t work.
-
V@rified Packer Fan (@zhotster) reported@CoachDrewNelson I have been getting tons of notifications from @Roku. I found out on Reddit that it was a Roku tech problem, not a hacker. Hope it's the same for you.
-
Rodrigo Torres Muñoz (@rodritorres_81) reported@DisneyPlus I'm havig this issue several times now, I't started with @Roku devices and @Roku Tv's at home saying we were not in the same household that I should update my household, so I logged off from all devices, nothing same problem 1/2
-
Devin Goble (@devinbgoble) reportedGee, thanks @Roku. Randomly today we get hit with hdcp errors on a setup that has worked fine for years, and the solution is just to move to a different hdmi port on the TV. You are the reason why people pirate.
-
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.
