  • pisshamster Low T guy (@pisshamster) reported

    Gotta issue a correction on this one. Guess I didn't know there was a new Dahmer movie and I got it confused with the one from 2017. I'm sorry guys my bad. I'm an *******. I'm a total buffoon. I'm a guy with a 75' Roku smart tv and I put the filmrise horror app on it

  • notjohnlee notjohnlee (@notjohnlee) reported

    @corbindavenport I really hate how my roku TCL is constantly reloading apps. The newer roku sticks have much more space and I just never see this problems

  • iamrashae 𝚢𝚒𝚊𝚊 (@iamrashae) reported

    Why tf y’all not working @Roku 😤😤

  • MrsDrYoloMcSwag Ciera Mist (@MrsDrYoloMcSwag) reported from Fargo, North Dakota

    @ladymcnasty19 They worst. I left my Roku stick is Chicago last May.

  • nomasnewsom Nail it☘️ (@nomasnewsom) reported

    @LionelMedia Does your Roku stream work?

  • TheXanderCrews1 TheXanderCrews (@TheXanderCrews1) reported

    @panther_dragon No, it literally doesn't have to be an Apple device. I streamed to a Roku device and watched it. Firesticks work too. So do most compatible smart TV's. Apple doesn't allow AppleTV to stream on Android via an app though, because Apple are a bunch of *******.

  • corbindavenport Corbin Davenport (@corbindavenport) reported

    Every single time a family member has issues with their smart TV, I get them a Roku streaming stick, set it up, and turn off all the TV’s “smart” features. After that, I never get any more TV tech support questions!

  • BajaChasr Kyle (Win for Vin) Reed (@BajaChasr) reported

    Dear @Roku/@DIRECTVhelp, please figure out your audio issues, it’s beyond frustrating.

  • 1youngdiamond diamond (@1youngdiamond) reported

    I made a mistake and put my roku remote in the washing machine, it was wrapped up in my covers. Now it don’t work no more

  • thesleepfighter Dustin & Dragons (@thesleepfighter) reported

    @hulu_support Happens on all devices (ipad, android tv, web, roku). The only way to clear the show from the row is to remove it entirely from the Watch History, which is an issue for currently running shows.

  • nealpiliavin neal piliavin (@nealpiliavin) reported

    anyone have issues w netflix freezing on roku? no other streaming service has issues. @netflix @roku @RokuSupport

  • brooklynsfire brooklynsfire (@brooklynsfire) reported

    Looks like there’s an issue with @paramountplus loading on @roku @RokuSupport

  • PDelahanty Patrick Delahanty (@PDelahanty) reported

    @twixprintmatic It looks like the Ustream live stream is offline…so that’s a stream issue, not a Roku app issue. Someone (perhaps @4theburke?) should be able to restart that stream in the morning.

  • fwsurprise @setvar! rawToast (@fwsurprise) reported

    @tntdrama please fix your garbage Roku app

  • corbindavenport Corbin Davenport (@corbindavenport) reported

    Every single time a family member has issues with their smart TV, I get them a Roku streaming stick and turn off all the TV’s own software. After that, everything just works ™.

  • QueenPhillippa Phillipa Charlotte (@QueenPhillippa) reported

    @ROKU If you're going to take over our live TV, stop making it into a pile of crap experience! Your setup doesn't WORK. Have to keep filtering for favorites. Can't get it to change channels! Many times, no channel guide at all! FIX THIS.

  • brunchndragons Buffalo 🐃 King of Brunch 👑🍳 (@brunchndragons) reported

    @thatKomputerKat @Roku @plex Completely agree with all your points. I go out of my way now to load my plex server with 4:3 content just to serve my Roku+. the worst offender is YouTube, because for some reason even if the video is 4:3 it still puts black bars on the side.

  • napercort Panda68 (@napercort) reported

    @PaulCharchian I was on Spotify via my TV/Roku...no issues. (Other than I have Pitts on my team)

  • CT_Brett203 Brett (@CT_Brett203) reported

    @Keith_McPherson Agreed. In regards to appletv. Typically I do housework while I have the game on my phone. There is no appletv app for android phones. I can't stream through a browser a my phone, but the quality is crappy. Now, THAT BEING SAID.. on my Roku TV, the video quality is incredible!

  • BillKj4xx Bill White (@BillKj4xx) reported

    @Roku so 2-3 days ago older roku made me sign in to YouTube. Never has happened. But despite bringing up current utube acct it shows 5 subscribe instead of 57. Almost all recommendations I’ve seen. No matter how many times I pass video it never changes

  • JoePostingg Joe (@JoePostingg) reported

    Why is the Netflix app on Roku so terrible? It barely works, and if there's subtitles I just end up Chromecasting cause it's easier.

  • BillKj4xx Bill White (@BillKj4xx) reported

    @Roku You don’t have support. No help

  • nohjgink John king (@nohjgink) reported

    @Channel4 I would love to but the channel doesn't work on Roku devices!

  • twixprintmatic Andrew Crews (@twixprintmatic) reported

    @PDelahanty I just haven't been able to get the live feed to work for the past few days on multiple Roku devices. Just loads in to a black screen.

  • hdickson2182 Heather Dickson (@hdickson2182) reported

    @paramountplus Is there an outage? Pymnt all good, internet good, all roku apps ok

  • Danny_Parlay Danny Parlay (@Danny_Parlay) reported

    @Ourand_SBJ I bought a Roku for Apple+ & Peacock. Started my 3 month A+ trial tonight for the Yankee game. Looks great without a single issue. Not sure how delayed it is from a true radio call. It’s 5-6 pitches AHEAD of my Sirius app.

  • sEiize_r sEiize (@sEiize_r) reported

    @Tommer855 @champ59951097 @MLBONFOX it’s free and available to anyone with… let’s see… an iphone, ipad, android, pc, mac, xbox one, xbox x|s, playstation 4, playstation 5, fire stick, alexa device with a screen, google tv, xfinity cable, roku if you dont have ANY of these in 2022 that a real personal problem

  • gocards1 Gene L (@gocards1) reported

    @Zalman888 @SRJ7 I access AppleTV+ via a Roku. No issues.

  • thesleepfighter Dustin & Dragons (@thesleepfighter) reported
