-
Atul K. Verma (@atveusa) reported@Roku your streaming stick is not working and I can’t find a way to return it. Your support page is asking to speak with someone but the number is not connecting. Not a good support model I see
-
✘ 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐒𝐎𝐍 (@RiseLordWilson) reported@Roku Day 9,000 of asking you to fix your **** *** private listening on your app.
-
cShell (@conchShell11) reported@Roku The May 8, 2026 software update ****** up the HDMI CEC, so that it no longer allows me to control the VOLUME or MUTE for my audio receiver with my Roku remote. After doing a Factory Reset, it STILL doesn't work. HDMI CEC is no longer in the settings. WTF? Please FIX this ASAP!
-
Mr Festered (@FesteredMr) reported@Roku what’s wrong with the Roku Channel. Freezes and very long to load. Only thing giving any problems
-
Alex Spicola (@AlexSpicola) reported@RokuSupport @Roku HELP!!! - My subscription support ticket (#13949322) was escalated but I haven’t received any updates. Can someone please check the status and advise on next steps?
-
Alan Hartland (@harty2you) reported@Roku hi, I live in the UK, I have a Roku streaming stick I bought in November 2025 from Tesco. I have had no problems with it until today. I am not able to use BBC iPlayer app. I have done all the resets but still not working. All other TV apps are ok ?
-
al 🪻 (@al_bookjourney) reported@Roku @F1Help two weeks later and it’s still broken🤡
-
Eff-the-left (@norcal06warrior) reported@Roku All other steaming apps work fine, it's only happening with Netflix
-
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.

Samantha (@Samanthawood2k) reported@Roku Yes I have, but it didn’t work.
-
Kyle Lambert (@kylelambertkc) reported@Roku Now, with this new thing, when I turn off the tv it comes back on. Also, many functions that used to work with Alexa are gone. This is not an upgrade, it's an inconvenience. I have three ultimate boxes all doing the same thing. I had better not have to start unplugging the TV.

Support Your Producing Housewives (@RespectProdHWs) reportedFYI - no one sure ever by another #tcltv #rokutv - they are the worst. And then you call and the phone hangs up. Never again. @Roku @TCL_USA

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🤔
-
William Hurst (@William45811350) reported@TCL_Global I will never buy one of your products every again because of the garbage @Roku does. i should not need to connect to the Internet to make changes on my TV. Absolutely terrible. I paid $1000 for my TV, I should have comple control of it. Never again.
-
JRC_Lanoka (@JRCsystems) reportedHey @Roku and @prageru @DennisPrager - Did you know that apparently Roku is #blocking Prageru app? The app starts, but #anything you try watching crashes immediately and leaves you back at the main screen. Tried updating. Tried uninstall/ reinstall. Doesn't work!
-
Meredith Porterfield (@meredithep) reported@Roku @foxone I don't want to watch FIFA but I would like to watch other apps and would appreciate it if they actually worked on Roku. I have no problem with the apps on other devices. Just Roku

Primetime 📺 (@Primetime_TB) reportedFinally watching @this_is_acw After Shock. Starting from beginning. Had issues with devices so eventually settled in on canceling the subscription through @Roku and then subscribing to @Triller_TV+ itself and hopefully this will let me watch it on 2 tvs.
-
RSummers (@RSummers0) reported@Roku WHY isn't TBS channel updating it's episodes on Big Bang Theory? It says expired TODAY IT said that yesterday and still hasn't changed episodes! TBS people are asleep or not paying attention? 🙄 Please fix this!
-
Richie (@RichiePuregains) reportedDon’t ever buy @Roku theyre making junk that’s overpriced significantly. Every tv I have their POS products to use for @GetSpectrum has problems. By problems I mean everything they have including the most basic functions frequently do not work.
-

-
no, i don't think i will, thanks (@a9ymous) reported@Roku stop continually making the Live TV interface worse, it's one of the reasons we got this RokuTV (pause/rw terrestrial TV). and fix your subtitle support, constantly having to go back to the main menu and unselect/reselect Always On.
-
🍂 Autumn 🍂 (@AutumnTweets) reported@Roku you SOB, you used to have some of the most seasoned and easy to work with tech support operators out there - now you trying to be sneaky, transferring us from one dog **** clanker to another. 😭
-
Kickball Legend (@DrinkyUncle) reported@MSNOWNews your channel on @Roku has not worked in two weeks. Every other channel works fine. It’s you. Maybe you can fix that ****?
-
DogPerson! (@dog_person20) reported@Prime_KD @Apple I think it might be a @Roku problem. I can stream on the Apple app on my phone and directly through the TV, but the Roku app crashes.
-
unQuestionable.com 🍌 (@FoshayTower) reported@Roku Would you please add support for Siri Shortcuts / automations? I would love for my tv to have a trigger phrase to go to a specific app after turning on at a specific time of day, and could make that work with Shortcuts
-
Glenn 🇺🇲⚓️ (@gcanderson57) reported@PlutoTV I'm having a lot of issues with your app on my @Roku . The app freezes during commercials and I have exit to Home.

Roger Pollard (@RogerChrista) reported@hulu_support I have 1G internet using a @Roku Ultra. It’s not an internet or device issue. Like I said, it’s ONLY on this channel and ONLY for games, not regular programming.
