-
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.
-
Brett Bear (@MikeyBoom32) reported@Roku Roku tells you force restart, unplug and do the secret remote cache restart. None of it works because the new software sucks. If your lucky enough to not have a bricked tv you are left with just horrible service. FIX THE SOFTWARE UPDATE.Hopefully Fox will rethink the purchase
-
Charles Wirtz (@CharlesEWirtzJr) reported@espn and @Roku - I can’t access any content. I’m logged into all my accounts, including @Sling, uninstalled and reinstalled all the apps, factory reset the tv, but still can’t get past the get access screen. I get confirmation “success” when I log into through my phone. Help!
-
Brian Kemm (@BrianKemm) reported@mrhappybw @Roku Boooo. Thanks for the intel. And, well, sigh. If I wanted to go through all the hassle (with no guaranteed fix), I’d just as soon start using a different brand if I have to log into everything again 🤡 These tech companies really are entirely out of their minds
-
sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reportedthe new @roku layout is so bad that I delayed tuning into the #worldcup to fix it back after it got dumped on me.
-
steve (@steve48717445) reported@Hisense_USA @Roku Apps will just crash. Don’t get a Hisense. I have to get a new tv
-
dragon harpoon🕺 (@pissedpant) reported@Roku I saw him flattened on central Roku boulevard on my way home from work RIP
-
Novangelus (@MLandry70) reportedAre 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.
-
Benji (@BenjiShaw7) reported@Roku Fix your new homescreen. Its takes almost a dozen button presses compared to 2-3. This update is ****. Fix it or give us the option before I replace this thing.
-
RightSideRobert (@robert23190) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku FORENSIC LAB REPORT Case: REM-2026-0729-FTV Date: 29 July 2026 Sample: Damaged Amazon Fire TV remote Analysis: Bite marks are human, not canine. Dental features match standardized U.S. Army dental work (military-style restorations and wear patterns). Conclusion: Damage caused by a human with prior U.S. Army dental treatment. No dog involvement.

sandiek is in the skiiiieeesssss (@sandiek) reportedhaven't been able to watch @espn on @roku for weeks because the app is effed up and apparently using an outdated login token (have uninstalled and reinstalled already). Fortunately it works on my @madebygoogle gtv chromecast, so we're (mostly) fine.
-
cru λ (@crufro) reportedThe issue here is that pre-generated AI slop doesn't retain. @mesastream on the other hand is multiplayer media. Live, consequential, and influenced by the audience. Humans curate. AI directs scenes and writes the dialogue in realtime. Anyone have a contact @Roku?
-
Mary (@Fogatmidnight) reported@Roku Ghaaa......What did u do?! Update bad! Please don't fix what is not broke. Let user decide! 2 nights in find organize LOCAL ANTENNA channels, renam lil tile, now it's GONE! 😱 Where is it? Want on home screen! Hisense Roku TV
-
Bryan Wayne (@mrhappybw) reported@Roku Man, this update totally screwed up my TV when it finally landed on my TV, the hdmi inputs keep screwing up for the cable box, isnt the cable or box because they work fine on other TV’s. Dog **** new home screen and this issue make me never want another one from y’all.
-
Duchess of Phelps (@MrsRedRage) reported@Roku your AI generated commercials are awful.
-
SaltyNurse (@MindyNDuncan) reported@Roku your sure have some **** products! Can't fast forward without the show restarting. Can't get quality sound from the other roku I have. What gives!
-
trapuh (@trapuh) reported@Roku Problem started July 5th I’ve tried everything, sound still works but tv screen is still like the picture above, I’ve seen on Reddit that your tvs do this to plenty of people i don’t think anybody has a fix for it yet
-
Unapologetic Deplorable (@Squirdlok) reported@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!
-
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.
-
Jinxsyns (@Jinxsyns) reported@BlueMoon_Mining @Roku Right! Besides whatever nonsense it's talking about titles this is the other reason im so angry 20 billion dollar company 450 ******* PEOPLE THEY EMPLOY THAT AT LEAST 1 OF THEM COULD ******* FIX THESE BUGS
-
Viv🥀✨ (@xx_viv_xx) reportedAnyone else having an issue with their @TheCW on @Roku ??? It keeps crashing for me
-
UnfinishedOwl (@UnfinishedOwl) reportedman, @Roku has absolutely destroyed my TV. almost totally unusable
-
Smigman (@Smigman1) reported@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.
-
Benny The Droughtman (@KenNort19009544) reportedYou need a login to use the Roku remote now? Wtf? @Roku That mighty dolla got y’all on yall knees boy
-
call it ump (@playball8000) reported@Roku @ASStrogurl24 @Roku you all need to work with charter spectrum on the spectrum app because it has lots of glitches. There's not an app that glitches anywhere close to the spectrum app. FYI
-
Doc Myers (@JDMyers77397139) reportedI wish you two, @Roku and @Crunchyroll could work it out that I could watch my subscription when I'm away from home and my Roku t.v. Letting me watch on smartphone.
-
Sparky McGraw (@McgrawSparky) reported@Roku Yea i do that all the time…. It’ll work for 1-5/10 turn ons then back to having to manual connect, or restart
-
