    @SheaSerrano Idk what problems most have been having. My parents have issues with Roku but Ive not had any with my Amazon Fire's HBOMax app.

  • retroRechercher Rechercher 😷 (@retroRechercher) reported

    @TeamYouTube I'm never signing in to YouTube on the Roku app, so it can quit periodically asking me to sign in. Not happening.

  • buzzcutfilm 𖤐 (@buzzcutfilm) reported

    @AHSOKAPNG just that they buffer/lag, bad quality overall, you have to get a roku/apple tv/firestick bc the included system is ****. but im so used to using an extension like roku/firestick that i cant speak on the built in smart system

  • Mij_Sirob Endowed Jones (@Mij_Sirob) reported

    @fsmikey @hbomax @Roku Oh damn, I have the PlayStation app. It’s awful. The content is great tho so I endure

  • bigtonyboy83 Tony O'Neill (@bigtonyboy83) reported

    @nowtvhelp PS4. Roku boxes seem to be working fine. Ive had issues with this since Wednesday. Ive deleted the app and reinstalled several times

  • ThatzRazin ThatzRazin (@ThatzRazin) reported

    Never use a Roku TV as a second moniter. It's an awful experience

  • SmoakingHotMama SmoakingHotQueen4JMJ (@SmoakingHotMama) reported

    @tim_tsh @Tubi Maybe somethings wrong with your Roku. I haven't had any issues with mine.

  • triponeex trip1ex (@triponeex) reported

    @jsnell Since when has Apple had a problem with being the best experience for the most money? ;) ATV is $180. A Roku box is $100. Seems like par for the course.

  • ludelga5 Luis Delgadillo (@ludelga5) reported

    @SouthDallasFood Anyone in Dallas cable not working? Use Spectrums app and view via internet on Smart Tv or use Roku

  • Quiltdoc2 Kathy Richmond, DO (@Quiltdoc2) reported

    @Roku why wont the HBOMAX or Kanopy channels work. Restarted roku, unloaded and reloaded channels. Will still open, seem to work the abruptly close n back to home screen.

  • iam5ha5hank Shashank Rana (@iam5ha5hank) reported

    @joeroganhq @Spotify @joerogan can't watch videos on Spotify with Roku. Please fix this.

  • WorkLifeTech Christine (@WorkLifeTech) reported

    @RokuSupport do you know if there’s an issue going on with the @STARZ streaming channel? I’m getting an error. Have tried removing and re-adding the channel and restarted @Roku device. Still can’t launch the channel.

  • BullMt_Gekko Floorboy (@BullMt_Gekko) reported

    @Spotify Video still not working on Roku App?!

  • _rinji Itadori Yuji (@_rinji) reported

    @_Omobolaji_ I bought a Roku stick for this honesty. Think only TV’s with an android OS have the app. An Amazon fire stick/ Apple TV will work as well.

  • MindOnTheBrink Heather B (@MindOnTheBrink) reported

    @bullscoach @discoveryplus It paused and lagged for me too last night. Roku on FiOS couldn't get through a single ep without doing it at least twice when I'm the only one even online. I can stream on multiple devices over wifi with any other service, no issue.

  • pokinatchakidd 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕫𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕥𝕙 💘 (@pokinatchakidd) reported

    You know you make a quality product when you realize you not only washed but dried your @Roku stick remote with your bedding & it still works.

  • bullscoach Scott Harmon (@bullscoach) reported

    @MindOnTheBrink @discoveryplus Yep! Its the only one of my apps on Roku that has any issues. Every show I watch on this app pauses and jumps every single time. Its a known issue thats been going on since the apps beginning and it's hard to believe they haven't fixed it yet.

  • BenDMitchell Ben Mitchell (@BenDMitchell) reported

    @TeamYouTube is the autoplay feature not working? I can’t get it to work on my Apple TV and Roku

  • cereal_twit Imperial Nexus Fyter✊🏽 (@cereal_twit) reported

    I know this is a bit of a long shot but is anyone else having a lot of trouble with @BritBox_US channel on their @AppleTV app? Shows pop up but just don’t stream. I’m watching Apple TV app on a Roku device.

  • BEVHOWARD40 Beverly A Howard🌊🌊🌊😷🐝 (@BEVHOWARD40) reported

    I canceled my Hulu livestream, & switching to SLING. Can't see paying $64.99 when I watch at most 6 channels. Plus, ROKU offers the old black and white movies/TV that I like. Next, is getting rid of my never working Spectrum account. SPECTRUM has to be the WORST CO.

  • nic18_nic maj ☂️ 💛💛 (taylor's version) (@nic18_nic) reported

    @britthorselover how could korra be the worst avatar when roku exists...?

  • TCL_USA TCL USA (@TCL_USA) reported

    @JasonWiltshire @Roku Hey Jason! Sorry to hear that the TV is not playing audio as planned. Have you tried an update to firmware or a full factory reset to see if the issue persists?

  • Beccapaulsen Becca Paulsen (@Beccapaulsen) reported

    @AppleTVPlus Over an hour now trying to create a new account on my Roku TV. OVER AN HOUR!!! Why is it so difficult just to login? I thought this was the biggest tech company in the world! #help

  • SeanDaveyRyan Sean Ryan (@SeanDaveyRyan) reported

    @erikbl The SNL part may help but I have found Peacock to be like a TV network in the 80s , which is a random mix of shows that make no sense together. I subscribe just for soccer but it’s such a mixed bag of games and the Roku app suck so badly that I am about to cancel.

  • mradamhorn Adam (@mradamhorn) reported

    @Roku can I trade in my @VIZIO tv for one that has Roku?? I made a poor decision a few months ago. I have learned the error if my ways.

  • MoxieEmerson Nina Marie (@MoxieEmerson) reported

    @telecomic @morninggloria Mine is a 2018. It’s terrible. The OS is also terrible. I think I need to swallow the sunk costs and just buy a cheap LED with an android or Roku operating system. It just feels so wasteful!!

  • MarisssaLange Marissa Lange (@MarisssaLange) reported

    @RokuSupport I just order a tcl tv with roku but the remote that comes with doesn’t have voice commend. The model that I got is 75s535 does a roku voice remote work with it?

  • Maverickpierce1 supersonicsandshrew (@Maverickpierce1) reported

    @Patterrz Roku should be c tier at best especially as the worst named avatar

  • 1tythatguy TyThatGuyTV 📸 (@1tythatguy) reported
