    Hey @Barnacules ever since I set up Synology rt6600ax router, YouTube on my Roku ultra has become extremely sluggish, all other apps work normally. Would you be able to give any hints on what should I be looking for?

  • ravefairy_ britt (@ravefairy_) reported

    As soon as I get home from work my phone always suggests the Roku app for me lolol

  • heyvittas John (@heyvittas) reported from City of North Richland Hills, Texas

    Anybody out there watching Apple TV on Roku: Does your audio quality suck too? Is there a way to fix it?

  • Kellylovesbravo Kelly (@Kellylovesbravo) reported

    Does anyone use a Roku stick?? We have 4 cable boxes and only use 2 so we bought a $50 Roku stick to try it out but I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. Anyone? Like, what do you get for free? A lot of stuff? I appreciate any help!!

  • AnthonyKuzma5 Anthony Kuzma (@AnthonyKuzma5) reported

    Having Trouble scan my code on my Roku Indoor camera se any help outthere about ready to Break it and send it back to Walmart people piece of Junk if you ask me.

  • adamkotsko Adam Kotsko (@adamkotsko) reported

    The inexplicable differences in median sound volume levels between streaming services translates between our Roku TV and our new Apple TV. It feels like this should be a fixable problem.

  • unprotektedsex Twilight (@unprotektedsex) reported

    i will murder whoever is in control of the CBS app on Roku in front of their own children. dis **** don’t never work

  • KevinRHaggerty Kevin Haggerty (@KevinRHaggerty) reported

    Totally ridiculous that Hulu subscribers (And maybe others?) have to leave the March Madness Roku app to watch CBS games. You guys need to work this out before next year.

  • RealEliteKing Laurent (@RealEliteKing) reported

    Roku has the worst controllers ever

  • winniethapoodle Sunshine 🌤 (@winniethapoodle) reported

    Anybody else with a roku tv having problems with their apps force closing??

  • FlynnFaust Faust, Dog furry collector? (@FlynnFaust) reported

    Roku's Basilisk but instead of torture in a simulation it's Hatsune Miku being made real and then if you don't help furthering it you don't get to go to any of her concerts but if you help to make her real you get to go to a real Hatsune Miku concert for free.

    How much trouble is the banking industry in if, from what we know now, the worst bank has to be bailed out and deemed critical to the financial structure? Silicon Valley Bank should have been allowed to just fail. Roku had 1.9 billion in cash, they would have been fine.

  • Mags3333 Mary Ann (@Mags3333) reported

    I told my guy to get a Roku tv. I’ve had a couple, and they just work. He came back with an Hisense Android TV. What a miserable experience. It doesn’t play well with apps, and is an overall PITA. Just a heads-up: Always go with the Roku TV. #smarttv #androidtv #rokutv

  • itsslayqueen QAH 👑 (@itsslayqueen) reported

    Watching #Netflix on a #Roku is the worse thing ever. It keeps lagging, freezing, and restarting the tv. This makes me not even want to watch Netflix. And its not my internet no other app does this on my tv. Any one else having this exhausting issue 🫠 🫠🫠

  • ashubert A Shubert (@ashubert) reported

    Piece of crap Spectrum app on @Roku won’t let me filter the guide by recent channels. Says “no channels match.” IVE BEEN WATCHING DIFFERENT CHANNELS ALL DAY!! C’MON @Ask_Spectrum , GET WITH IT!!! I’ve no way to toggle between two games since the RW button doesn’t work anymore.

  • dwfma Adrian Breeman (@dwfma) reported

    oh cool, the @FOXSports app for @Roku is kicking that error about exceeding account limits again. flashbacks to the World Cup!

  • technobelle Aidan (@technobelle) reported

    Hey @hulu @Roku I bought the Hulu live TV plan and it won't work on my roku express. Through googling I've found no reason why, and it does work on my phone. This is stupid.

  • JustJWoodfin J. Woodfin (@JustJWoodfin) reported

    A big problem: SVB holds cash deposits of large tech companies For example, Roku holds 26% of its cash with SVB. There was a possibility that this cash may not be accessible for a long time, meaning if Roku has short-term liabilities of its own, it may not be able to cover them.

  • jpkolb Jeff Kolb (@jpkolb) reported

    I had a moment of temporary insanity and bought a “smart” tv which was just an awful decision. The best advice LG can give me is to try using a mobile hotspot to get Netflix to download. Glad I kept my Roku from the old tv.

  • SpankDoubleG SpankDblG (@SpankDoubleG) reported

    Who got the plug on the jail broken Firesticks and Roku remotes?

  • TyWisco Tyler (@TyWisco) reported

    Fix your roku app, you bankrupt poverty company @BallySports @BallySportWI

  • TVGRadio 💿 📻 TVGR (TV Gold Radio) 📀📻 (@TVGRadio) reported

    What do donations help with? The cost of 2 licenses (PPL & PRS) billed annually at a total of approx £550 Website hosting costs Radio server costs Availability of the station apps on alexa,roku, android & Amazon Thanks for your support and listenership

  • strutto9 strutto* (@strutto9) reported

    hey @YouTube can you all fix the shuffle feature on playlists. when i cast from ios app to roku app it just skips to next in playlist rather than shuffling.

  • tradishskinbyrd Bitchtopher Columbitch (@tradishskinbyrd) reported

    Dear @netflix and @Roku, Do you know that I actively avoid watching anything on Netflix because it takes me an average of three tries to get any content to load properly without kicking me out of the app or freezing. And, yes, everything is up to date. FIX IT!

  • ashubert A Shubert (@ashubert) reported

    Latest problem with the Spectrum app on @Roku, the RW button is supposed to jump back to previous channel. No more. I think @Ask_Spectrum has interns and Jr High students handling app development.

  • GregtheNorth Northern Greg (@GregtheNorth) reported

    Why does the worst bank, from what we know now, need to be bailed out and deemed critical to the banking ecosystem? Roku has 1.9 billion in cash, they will be fine. So will Roblox. Everyone else is just overvalued startups sucking investors money. Silicon Valley Bank sucks.

  • bdbsport Coach Middlescreen (@bdbsport) reported

    It is beyond idiotic that I can watch every #MarchMadness game on the MarchMadness Roku channel EXCEPT for the premier broadcasts airing on CBS. I have @DIRECTV and @paramountplus, but can’t get the games literally on CBS to play on my @Roku. Hands down worst streaming service.

  • DaveDrevello wrestling mark/nonbinary pal (@DaveDrevello) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with the @ringofhonor HonorClub roku app?

  • Courtaneyyy Courtney Helen Ann (@Courtaneyyy) reported

    Lol when the @Roku you bought 6 months ago totally breaks and you have to go through the process of sending it back to them, waiting for them to fix it, then getting it back? Like…I guess I won’t stream for a month? Time to do away with them and their crap customer service
