-
Pyrtection (@FullPyrtection) reported@ReelzChannel Having streaming issues tonight? Can’t get past black pickup truck search. Restarted @Roku got to same place and locked up again.
-
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 ****?
-
PureBlood86 (@MAGAPureblood86) reported@Roku WTF?! Remote control batteries go dead every 2 weeks. Can we fix this? I've never seen anything like this in my life. Multiply this times 4 ROKU tvs in the house. Getting ridiculous. Is Amazone Fire any better? anybody chime in. Thx,
-
Nicholas Helton (@RealtorNickH) reportedAnyone else have issues with @Roku remotes? 3rd time replacing it and now the one I bought in January is broken and they won't replace it either!
-
chinedu🦀 (@chinedu_10) reported@Roku is there a reason why your devices stopped connecting to WIFI? And is this a regional issue? I could connect to the Hotspot on my iPhone. But I can’t connect WIFI to the device. I’ve tried multiple WIFI from different ISPs.
-
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.
-
Stratosfear Tully 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@tullyfur) reportedI'll NEVER buy another @Roku TV. Mom's is 8 years old and it was fine. Turn it on, it had all her channel numbers on antenna. Recently it's "updated" with no channel numbers, no way to just have antenna channels, and she wants to replace it because it's "broken". Garbage product.
-
Maya Belle (@cblanknyc) reported@Roku But no help with unauthorized payments? I was charged nearly $270. Can’t you do better than a one month refund? Please?
-
RockHead Regolith (@RockHeadRego) reported@Roku How do I get James Rhey Roku Customer Support to respond to my request for help regarding the vertical lines that have appeared on my recently purchased Roku TV?
-
court (@allherdanger) reported@Roku I did a system restart this evening and it seems to have fixed the problem! 🫶🏻
-
Chris Nalwasky (@ChrisNalwasky) reported@Roku @FOXSports fix your app. I signed in 5 times and it’s not working.
-
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.
-
Jason (@ManuteSwol) reported@Roku Are you guys having some kind of outage? One of my devices failed to update... I factory reset it and now cannot add Apps. Your web site says there is a known issue. How about an update?
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@Roku @caseyrosewilson Latest update on Roku has brought on tons of issues. Can't remove finished listings from continue watching, completing episodes goes on to random programs, etc. And periodically it just resets itself. How about rolling back to stability?
-
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
-
Isabella Valentine (@PrismaticOwl) reportedI generally just let the @Roku screensavers scroll while I do other stuff, but I think it got an update recently because the Roku City screensaver just flat does not work anymore. It's a black screen. Back button doesn't work. Gotta use the Home button to return to the menu.
-
YourHead Drone (@DronePremier) reported@daisy_musician @paramountplus @Roku Paramount is the only one we had issues with. Appears it was a Walmart plus issue for us.
-
Old Cynic (@SorryImDeadTru) reportedI have had @Roku streaming and TVs for over 7-8 years. I have currently 5 Roku TVs in my house. And I am about to dump them all. One about 6 months ago just went black screen. Fine it was cheap replaced it. Might have failed because of the issue in the recent class-action. But what is really getting me ready to leave the platform is Roku search. It always pushes the rental or paid options over what is available from the streaming services I already have. EVERYTIME. I'm looking for something to watch find a couple things in this app or that app, keep looking around decide XYZ movie is the best I'll find right now, but can't remember which out of the 5 I saw it in, go search and the options presented are paid. Half the time it doesn't even include the streaming services it knows I pay for. @Roku you are pushing too hard on your profit over the customer experience that has had me over the years adopt and standardize on. Example. Free on Peacock but these are the options you present.
-
Brandon (@BATZMANZ) reported@Roku Give us Photo Streams back! Backdrop is terrible. Doesnt autostart when idle.
-
Brittney (@hope_britt) reported@DIRECTV & @Roku rcount your days! Why would you allow a customer to sign up via Roku and thru your services for the same exact product. Why tf would i sign up for the same sorry *** service twice! & for @Roku not to issue refunds after I’ve been charged twice is crazy
-
wizard who hates ai (@0U0S0E0R0) reported@Roku @AMinecraftMovie @WBHomeEnt nobody ******* cares fix your load times
-
court (@allherdanger) reportedIdk wtf Roku did but every time I'm paused too long now it doesn't go to the screensaver I have set up, it goes to a Roku thing and then I can't get out of that screen without going to the home screen first?? FIX IT @Roku and don't you dare blame me, I checked my settings
-
Geoff Meador (@geoffmeador) reportedOur @Ask_Spectrum outage has lasted all morning and USA vs AUS is coming up, so I just switched our @Roku TV to OTA antenna… except, in the most idiotic decision imaginable, watching antenna TV on Roku apparently requires a working internet connection now. 1/2
-
cal poly (@itsnotjt) reported@NBCSPhilly @Roku change the app back to allow us to scan QR code. Also he time sign in. I’m sick and tired of typing out this long website link every day
-
Harvey Jackalope (@HarveyJackalope) reported@AppleTV and @Roku need to figure out why I can't watch @F1 without the Roku freezing and restarting after 10 minutes. Having no such issues watching on my phone.
-
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 ?
-
Mary McNeight (@ServiceDogAcdmy) reported@Roku What the HECK did you do to live tv pause? There is no way to fast forward and see where you are in the program. You’ve literally broken the best feature of having a Roku TV.
-
John Tanner (@Lordofdeath14Xb) reported@Roku hey guys if you could fix your ******* app every time when I'm listening to music on my phone through the app it disconnects so how about you guys get off your *** and fix the ******* app thank you.
-
Lmn (@lmn071966) reported@Roku @AppleTV @TheRokuChannel No more subscriptions until you fix this live tv BS!
-
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
