  • mariayells la gritona (@mariayells) reported

    lol the spectrum app on roku isn't working for me anymore and it's not like i can do anything about it bc spectrum went "bye" at roku so i can't troubleshoot even though it SHOULD still work???? even if it's not supported? had to use the spectrum app on my phone & screenshare

  • PFuentes74 PacoFuentes74 (@PFuentes74) reported

    @dudebroing @YouTubeTV Roku isn't the one playing games here. I'm not replacing my TV if Google can't play fair. Plenty of other steaming options that will still work on Roku.

  • lindawoods Linda Woods (@lindawoods) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum what’s up with the spectrum app not working on roku today? I see others complaining about it too.

  • m9ribel mari 🎐 (@m9ribel) reported

    @DTB777_ lightning hit my crib, ****** all the lights n almost all the outlets upstairs. roku stick blew up while in the tv so i think thats why the tv dont work💀

  • WinkAlan Alan Wink (@WinkAlan) reported

    @YouTubeTV I really hope you guys can get this issue negotiated without my service being interrupted and and me paying more money for terms you agreed with roku

  • hulotat404 EMK Seattle (@hulotat404) reported

    Is anyone else's HBO Max app on roku glitchy as hell? The app's two favorite things to do are secretly go back to the first episode of a series no matter which episode it says it's playing and cut to the end of an episode when you try to fix it

  • istreamerapps iStreamer (@istreamerapps) reported

    We are working on resolving the issues with Roku TVs not being discovered in the app on devices running iOS 14.5. The issues will be fixed soon. Please stay tuned!

  • byajperez A.J. Perez (@byajperez) reported

    @thekcshow @YouTubeTV Look at the market caps between Google and Roku. Google probably should be broken.

  • joeleden Joel Eden, PhD (@joeleden) reported

    @jseiden I pay for a box from Fios I don’t use (it’s broken anyway), just to have access to a channel lineup that I watch on Roku/Apple TV...it’s like tech debt tax.

  • StephenHowden StephenHowden (@StephenHowden) reported

    @Jason_R86 @NOW Since the update to the new 'NOW' branded app, on roku, LG tv app and through chromecast from a phone, im getting buffering at some point through EVERYTHING i watch. Never had this problem until the app update. Not my broadband, All other streaming services work amazing!

  • Hope_incarnate Reluctant Ishgard Enthusiast (@Hope_incarnate) reported

    @ItsyagirlLayla Bonus points if Aymeric is an awful liar but Roku still doesnt catch on to him anyway, just for the comedy of it all.

  • PFuentes74 PacoFuentes74 (@PFuentes74) reported

    @bourbon_america @YouTubeTV Uh, that had nothing to do with Roku. That was Google. Like this new issue is also Google.

  • vanover_leslie Team Vanover (@vanover_leslie) reported

    @CatLadyRossi @FUNimation Streaming on roku is horrible, the shows randomly stop and buffer for like 5 minutes then just stops playing all together and takes 3 to 4 retries to get it going again.

  • GuyNoir1138 GuyNoir1138 (@GuyNoir1138) reported

    @VuduSupport I haven’t been able to load videos on my Roku TV for days. Please help!

  • Ashmerf22 Ashley Peterson (@Ashmerf22) reported

    @IObiRobI @BallySportsMW We had issues logging into my Roku as well and couldn’t watch the game. 😒

  • shanemilner Shane (@shanemilner) reported

    I currently have @YouTubeTV and love it. Unfortunately for them, I have @Roku TV's throughout my house and office. If they refuse to work with Roku anymore, I will have to switch to another streaming platform, any suggestions? #DoTheRightThingGoogle #IDontWantToSwitch

  • mama_reney Mama_Reney (@mama_reney) reported

    @verdejosee I’ve had both. The fire stick always glitched and froze on me. Hardly ever worked. I have the roku now and I download all apps I need. Netflix Hulu HBO etc. and it has never given me any problems. I also have a roku tv and it’s just life lol

  • TracyGehman Tracy G. Hess (@TracyGehman) reported

    @jordangehman @YouTubeTV @Roku I got an email from Roku on this issue 😳

  • Zsavooz TCMFanatics (@Zsavooz) reported

    @YouTubeTV Extremely tired of Youtube TV. It's pretty obvious Google, and how I loathe them, is squeezing Roku out of the market with their own device. That's how tyrannical companies work. Eventually they'll just be Amazon and Google, **** them both. Get Locast for free or a small donation

  • dave_isaac Dave Isaac (@dave_isaac) reported

    @YouTubeTV I've been a YTTV customer for abt a year. Right now, I'm not a happy camper. Prices went up substantially right after I signed on. My local Fox sports are out now, tennis channel is out, the Roku deal will put me over my limit. Fix this please or I'm out.

  • radinfo Peter Radizeski (@radinfo) reported

    @fritz_hotspaces on roku is better than on amazon fire stick. It sucks on the fire stick. It is tolerable on Android. For all the work DTV did and T&T being the largest telco, it should be better.

  • SephlyatPAX Friendly neighborhood blood banker 👩🏾‍🔬 (@SephlyatPAX) reported

    @FUNimation How about for the Roku so it doesn't crash 😑😒

  • chozen_2 Chozen from Karate Kid 2 (@chozen_2) reported

    If Roku drops Youtube TV because Google is categorically awful I am going to be so pissed.

  • DGTarHeel Doug G (@DGTarHeel) reported

    @Roku Don't confuse the YoutubeTV situation with HBOMax. Users waited for you to work things out with HBO. YoutubeTV is the centerpiece of many users' cord-cutting bundle. If Roku doesn't have YoutubeTV, I'm not the only loyal customer that will jump ship.

  • CosmicJt23 WreckingBallRadio (@CosmicJt23) reported

    @AmazonHelp Home now. It's working on Roku. Just not so well on my phone. Maybe it's an AT&T problem.

  • b_dark01 bobby darko (@b_dark01) reported

    @jasonh123456 @CordCuttersNews I have 3 smart streamers in my house. Not one has it all. Firestick has the best UI, doesn’t have Peacock or Spectrum apps Roku has the best sound & picture but doesn’t have Spectrum app & is constantly threatening to remove app Samsung has a terrible UI & doesn’t have Peacock

  • warrior_vet Amazon Warrior (@warrior_vet) reported

    @Google - PLEASE work with @Roku so I can keep my @YouTubeTV !!!!!

  • dudebroing BroDudeBro (@dudebroing) reported

    @PFuentes74 @YouTubeTV The fact that Google hasn't seemed to have an issue with plenty of apps like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc tells me that's not true. It sucks if you have Roku in your tv. But honestly I'd never in a million years buy a tv with a streaming device built in. Tech changes too fast.

  • calliekimball Callie Kimball (@calliekimball) reported

    Renting a one-room office. I need fast, reliable internet for client work. (And I need my Roku lol.) Do I upgrade my (grandfathered unlimited data) mobile plan to include a hotspot? Or do I wire it for wifi? I like simple solutions but don’t want to skimp. Ready to level up.
