  • mikewells1962 mikewells62 (@mikewells1962) reported

    @QuantumTV_YT I just got an older Hisense Roku tv. Model 65R6E1. The usual "hidden" menu has nothing about HDR in it. Is there a way to disable it? It seems TCL and Hisense are making things more difficult. Thanks for your help!

  • KristenMichele6 Kristen Michele⭐ (@KristenMichele6) reported

    Hey @spectrum, we’re getting an RGE-1001 code on our roku tv trying to access the Spurs game on @KENS5. We have internet connection and other streaming apps work. Help, please.

  • serpent_sky 🌈 Rachael Pixie - Sami Zayn's #1 fan - 🇵🇸 🇸🇾 (@serpent_sky) reported

    I bought a WiFi amplifier for the Roku in this room and it seems to have fixed my issues with buffering. $11.99 well-spent. I figured, if there was something wrong with the Roku, I'd get a new one, but it would make more sense to buy the cheaper amplifier and try it first.

  • tfatwsoldir nick fowler's wife (real) (@tfatwsoldir) reported

    Don’t buy a @TCL_USA @Roku TV The backlight doesn’t work after not even 2 months, and now my tv screen goes black after flashing the logo once when powered on.

  • SPerysian Hank (@SPerysian) reported

    @usmcdcc @espn If on Roku device, simply unplug for 10 seconds or so and plug back in. I know, it sounds too good to be true, but it has worked for me twice now. @espn was no help for me either.

  • superpixels Victor Agreda Jr (@superpixels) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum About to sit down to watch the Tar Heels, but Spectrum app (on Roku) keeps kicking me out with "unknown" error. Hopefully a glitch that is fixed soon.

    @paramountplus @CBSBigBrother @1883Official fix your roku app for the love of christ. ad break problem. WTF is wrong with you a - holes? smh

  • heisengarg Mohit Garg (@heisengarg) reported

    Constant buffering issues with @hulu_support on @Roku. First the streams don’t start and when they do start, you get a green screen with no audio.

  • txvoodoo Lisa #EastCoastOrBust Rowe (@txvoodoo) reported

    @shipper_xphi @nutmeg3isme I'm getting ready to cut cable. BTW a recommendation: when Amazon has a sale on them, grab one of the 4k firesticks. Roku WILL have outages or tmies when a channel is out b/c of contract issues.

  • jeffbezosfan420 Jarhead (@jeffbezosfan420) reported

    @erikslaterNR casting to the chromecast is unusable. Mobile and Roku are both pretty reliable

  • Marcyitsme Marcy (@Marcyitsme) reported

    @RokuSupport you guys spend all day every day getting tweets about how bad the internet connection/speed is now on Roku’s. This isn’t an individual problem.This is a massive issue.This wasn’t an issue a year ago it’s not an issue for a significant percentage of the customer base

  • superpixels Victor Agreda Jr (@superpixels) reported

    @willsmith @Roku Apparently an update may have reintroduced an issue from last summer. My kid is researching, but none of @Roku suggestions have worked. Truly amazes me how bad stuff is & companies know they don’t have to give a ****. Just keep dumping garbage. I’m so tired.

  • Majax16 Majax🏳️‍🌈 (@Majax16) reported

    OK so Tennis Channel is flickering on and off when trying to view through Sling TV via Roku 3. First time this has happened. On Sling's website, it's fine. Anyone have any ideas how to fix?

  • jacquebland Jacque Jo Bland (@jacquebland) reported from Charleston, West Virginia

    Because of the @Vevo ‘90s video channel on @Roku, me getting ready for work in 2022 can be exactly like me getting ready for high school in 1995, and I’m living for it. 🙌🏻

  • joeynagle19 Joey Nagle (@joeynagle19) reported

    @NESN your roku activation doesn’t work

  • majijax_en Maji Jax - VtuberEN (@majijax_en) reported

    @CrockSeventeen I gave up on CR long ago. I use them to see what comes out but otherwise use other websites. CR was pretty much unusable on my Roku even with a Premium Sub.
