    @slinganswers Is there any update on this? Is this an issue with Roku device blocking AirTV? @slinganswers please resolve, we watch locals on our family evening time. We don’t want to watch on small device.

    @slinganswers my dvr recordings suddenly will not play on any if my Roku devices but will on my phone. Help!

  • RealtorRy_InSTL Ryan Kruep (@RealtorRy_InSTL) reported

    @strgto They changed the name to direct stream. We haven't had any issues with it. User friendly and looks nice. You also don't need a box on every TV. Have the app on Roku for the bedroom and it works like normal

  • aydollas 顶 级 (@aydollas) reported

    @NULANICOLE roku got a remote on the app store that actually work!

  • xtye_ Tyler (@xtye_) reported

    @hbomax Really need to fix your Roku app...constantly crashes.

  • edwardderuiter Edward DeRuiter (@edwardderuiter) reported

    Apple TV+ keeps crashing and eventually bricked my Roku so I had to factory reset it and spent all morning logging into everything again using the remote to navigate the onscreen keyboard, what a pain. Please fix your app @AppleTV

  • beausimensen Beau Simensen (@beausimensen) reported

    @WyriHaximus @ninjagrlart For example, I'd love to be able to subscribe to peoples lists that white lists this required to use specific services. Xbox, Roku, and Vudu had a ton of domains that needed to be added to work. Sometimes you need some whitelisting for services depending on platform too.

  • LuisTauer Caballero Azur (@LuisTauer) reported

    @AppleTV The Apple Tv app doesn't work in my Roku. What can I do?

    @slinganswers My Air TV Anywhere is not working on my Roku Ultras or iPads. If you would like to send me an Apple TV, Fire TV or Android device please do !

  • _crayolabrown_ ✨Alisaha Deshan✨ (@_crayolabrown_) reported

    @hulu hiiii 👋🏾 The app on my roku tv keeps freezing and going to the Home Screen during my show selection. Anyone else having this issues?

  • andthemuppets Scott Demeranville (@andthemuppets) reported

    @_jacobschneider For the first 25 minutes of the game the Bally app on Roku and mobile devices was showing some golf thing and softball. So even people with a cable password couldn't watch it. Worst app ever. Also the commercials while the game is happening are totally unacceptable.

  • BrettLawrence Brett Lawrence (@BrettLawrence) reported

    @SethLofton4 @Grinch21188235 @JJMaples55_MST I have 3 TVs. It doesn't work on the old Roku but does on my new TCL Smart TV (w Roku built-in) and on my Samsung SmartTV (Fire built-in).

  • Chris_L_NCT Chris L (@Chris_L_NCT) reported

    @StocksTooHigh It's for any stock with interest. Obviously gappers have alot of interest. But if you trade big stocks like AAPL, AMZN, TSLA, ROKU, FB, etc., there is already alot of interest in these stocks on a normal day, so it'll work even if price doesnt gap up or down

  • jisenhour Justin Isenhour (@jisenhour) reported

    @AppleTV not working on my @Roku…. “Video not available” will likely translate to “not subscribing past the trial period”

  • AMartiniHughes This is the way (@AMartiniHughes) reported

    @AmazonHelp less of an issue and more of a confusion/question. one is on a samsung smart tv, the other app on a roku

  • tbarnes520 Thomas Barnes (@tbarnes520) reported

    @bebizzy I have both in UK. Google TV is better picture quality, Roku has better app support. I would check what apps you want and where they are supported unless you are happy to cast.

  • carocali13 Caroline C (@carocali13) reported

    @StacheEsq @dubs316 I have a sign in from chicago to watch here through Roku. Can’t watch on NHL. So frustrating. Sorry

  • BryanInMo1 BryanInMo - VACCINATED 💯 (@BryanInMo1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @Reason1975 could you fix your Roku app please. The FF and REW buttons on the Roku remote does not make the lists go full page left and right when pressed. It makes the noise/sound effect but does not move. Thanx

  • Gare_bear36 Gare Bear+ (@Gare_bear36) reported

    @dankooser It's a terrible, terrible app. Crashes at least 3 times a baseball game. I've tried it on Chromecast and a Roku.

  • rocklymber Penny Carr (@rocklymber) reported

    @paramountplus @Roku why would you roll out an application and allow people to buy it when you know there are issues with it that make the app unusable?!?!?! What crappy business.

  • bstortz1 Brandon Stortz (@bstortz1) reported

    @BallySportsKC I'm having issues with my stream. It says contact service provider due to playback error. I have signed in with directv provider and have deleted and reinstalled the app on Roku device. Any suggestions?

  • investidor_zgen Investidor Geração Z | Gen Z Investor (@investidor_zgen) reported

    @MaxTheComrade And Roku has the data for that! Beth Kindig interview on this week in startups was really good and she talked about how brands like Pizza Hut and Budweiser work much better when advertsing on the big screen rather than mobile. And obviously, Roku's the leader and is gonna

    what’s the deal with netflix not working on roku anymore? very frustrating

  • realmotang motang 🇮🇳🇺🇲 (@realmotang) reported

    I was going to say the other day how awesome the @Sling app had become, that I can even resume the OTA shows that were recorded. But alas that was short lived. I can't even watch live/recorded OTA channels on my @Roku , none of them. But they work fine on my phone! @slinganswers
