    Is the Roku #Shudder app broken for anyone else? Still no @Shudder PS app & now the Roku app has only been ~1/2 functional for a week or more now. I can’t access the “movies” tab nor my list nor add to it but can see the featured section & watch from there but jfc just why now?😫

  • angidescent Angie (@angidescent) reported

    Years ago, my classic Doctor Who watch was interupted by its removal from Netflix. Just found it on the Roku Channel...the problem is that it's live, not by episode. So I don't know why this guy is in a gimp mask, but I'm pretty sure he's the villian.

  • DaveSchmarder Dave Schmarder (@DaveSchmarder) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum The TV authentication server is STNY is broken. No tv for me today on my Roku or PC app.

  • ChecklistMommy ChecklistMommy (@ChecklistMommy) reported

    @RYGdance @oneawkwardmom The day I discovered I could work the @Roku from an app on my phone was a very very good day.

  • HenryKrinkle0 Mike (@HenryKrinkle0) reported

    @VICETV @TheRock The Vice TV app on Roku has not worked in a week. It used to work everytime, on all devices, but it won't even load on Roku. It just buffers and returns to the home screen. I literally used this app every day.

  • OneSquirreliest TheSquirreliestOne (@OneSquirreliest) reported

    @mizubyte It doesn't help that when I watch the Dr Who Classic channel on Roku, 90% of the commercials are Doordash talking about vibrators and how they don't judge.

  • AuntNYC AuntChristine™ 🌻🐘🦏🐆🦛🦒🦓 (@AuntNYC) reported

    Am I being paranoid? Concerned because several apps etc requested password changes (Microsoft) and now my youtube app on my Roku tv is asking me to sign in to connect my youtube — and it won’t connect! Is there something going on out there?

  • J9iN3XEYFpYY Question For You (@J9iN3XEYFpYY) reported

    The @YouTube app on @Roku is no longer working properly. Did they take watch lists, history, and liked video menus away? Please help.

  • chillrogg Chillrogg (@chillrogg) reported

    @SilversteinAdam I didn't have a problem with the dark scenes either... maybe it's older TVs? I'm watching on a 2017 roku too not like it's absolutely top tier

  • TerryLeeAllen Elvis Parsley (@TerryLeeAllen) reported

    If I purchase @_Gillyandkeeves tv can I only watch it on my phone or will it work on my Roku?

  • EKershner Eric ✝️🇺🇸 (@EKershner) reported

    This has made my @Roku device completely unusable. Thanks!

  • cavenaugh1967 Mission Accomplished (@cavenaugh1967) reported

  • mistermac56 Richard H. Shores 🇺🇦 (@mistermac56) reported

    @BallySportsSO there is an issue in the Nashville area with Comcast and Bally Sports South. Picture is freezing or stuttering. Problem has been going on since early Wed. This is occurring with their standard cable service and streaming using their Xfinity Stream app on Roku.

  • Geekthulhu Zombie Rob (@Geekthulhu) reported

    Anyone else having an issue with @Shudder app on @Roku? Mine hasn't displayed my watchlist in a few days now and I can't add anything new to it either. Everything is updated on it, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

  • jpodushko jP Creative (@jpodushko) reported

  • AlyssonFergison The one your mother warned you about... (@AlyssonFergison) reported

    If you have a TCL Roku TV and you get a protected content error when trying to watch a show through Peacock (or any other app, probably), try resetting your network connection. System -> Advanced system settings -> Network connection reset Fixed the problem for me.

  • DavidMMuench David Muench (@DavidMMuench) reported

    @DisneyPlusHelp I had to uninstall the app from both the Firestick AND the Roku, reinstall, login and it finally worked. I shouldn't have to do that. 🙄

  • MitchellFrondal Mitchell Frondal, MBA (@MitchellFrondal) reported

    @euronews why is your channel not working on @Roku Says "Your programming will return soon."

  • Wxgirl169 ✝️ Judy ✝️ (@Wxgirl169) reported

    @Roku I've had issues with my 4K Streaming Stick crashing for the past month. I changed the power saving setting to see if that helps. Has anyone else had this problem? I got it back in December for christmas.
