  • boazhsan Boaz Nash (@boazhsan) reported

    It's disturbing when my Roku becomes unreliable. I want to watch something without thinking much, and instead, I'm debugging(*) a network problem. DVD players were more reliable, as long as you didn't scratch the media. (*) Turning things off and on again and waiting

  • SenjuMarc Marc (@SenjuMarc) reported

    @slinganswers It's not working on my Nvidia nor Roku but working on my LG TV app... in case yall forgot to disable it

  • Trevhuston97 Trevor (@Trevhuston97) reported

    @slinganswers Thanks Sling. I thought it was a problem on my end. I tried both my Roku and Xbox to watch the MNF game. I decided to try the ESPN app on Roku, and can confirm that I'm able to watch the MNF game through ESPN's app. So, it seems like it's just a problem with Sling app

  • kev1833 Kevin ****** (@kev1833) reported

    @slinganswers The app on FireTV and Roku is pretty awful on a good day. You need better programmers.

  • CrashSiouxFalls Crash (@CrashSiouxFalls) reported

    @slinganswers what’s going on with your service? Will not load any stations. Froze during Monday Night Football and have rebooted. All other services work on Roku. Not Sling.

  • Akron_Jackson Jackson Flickinger (@Akron_Jackson) reported

    That said, the app is still a disgrace. At least for Roku tv. There’s numerous live sports apps and this is one of the worst ones to operate and it’s always been like this.

  • LowProf64135955 Low Profile (@LowProf64135955) reported

    Has anyone in the world ever managed to set up a #Google #Chromecast? Just bizarrely complicated due to many moving parts. I can move my #Roku from site to site and setup through successive hotel login systems but cannot setup Chromecast from my living room. Dah!

  • gianniburnner giannis antetokounmpo burner (@gianniburnner) reported

    @BallySportWI Fam fix the app for roku it’s delayed and its annoying af

  • riversoverflow chad (occasionally a parody account) (@riversoverflow) reported from Seattle, Washington

    Speaking of voting and other major issues, the @PBS Roku app never remembers my place, and it’s very frustrating 😩😭

  • USA_Bev Deplorable USA_GIRL 🇺🇸 🍊 (@USA_Bev) reported

    @38Sandy48 I’m still on TV streaming on ROKU no problems

  • 321_Contact 321_Contact (@321_Contact) reported

    @NBALPSupport Why do i keep getting the away team broadcasters for Mavs home games? I didn't pay for league pass to listen to away team broadcast for my favorite team. How do i fix this? I'm watching on Roku device.

  • TheDamianHdez Damián Hernández (@TheDamianHdez) reported

    @justkyle @RockyRoark I don’t own a Roku, but I saw this screensaver once at a shop, and now I want one. Awesome work!

  • ThomasConnorsJr MEAD The 4K💿 Master (Tom Connors) (@ThomasConnorsJr) reported

    @Roku what is up with how bad your quality is? Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos stick... but your big @alyankovic movie looks like it was shot on a potato, with gravy and has more mono than a teenage make-out session... wtf?? (Would be nice to hear on stereo let alone atmos...)

  • KevWatchedAFilm KevWatchedAFilm ™ (@KevWatchedAFilm) reported

    Well, we tried to watch WEIRD, but it’s just not working. Roku Channel only?! Really?? I don’t have a fire stick or Roku TV, so the only option is to cast from my phone to my TV, and it just refuses to work. This is the stupidest streaming movie release strategy of all-time.

  • gmackey32 Greg "Ham is better than Turkey" Mackey (@gmackey32) reported

    @cybooty @ESPNPlus Weird. Some people were saying it was working fine on Hulu. It seems those using a streaming device like Roku and FireStick had problems.

  • RickStorms7 Rick Storms (@RickStorms7) reported

    @Sling is there an outage? I'm currently unable to watch anything on Xfinity Flex and Roku. Although, everything works fine on my Samsung s22. #help #outage #OutageUpdate

  • ThomasConnorsJr MEAD The 4K💿 Master (Tom Connors) (@ThomasConnorsJr) reported

    @DanRamo07555230 @Roku @alyankovic *(and I mean this looked like some of the worst blu-rays I've seen)

  • emmanem_93 Emma ✨ (@emmanem_93) reported

    Disney+’s fast forward feature always makes my Roku reset. Does anybody else have this problem?

  • JeffSpiegel Jeff Spiegel (@JeffSpiegel) reported

    Just me or @espn app not working tonight? Roku, phone - none of it working.

  • DanRamo07555230 Dan Ramos (@DanRamo07555230) reported

    @ThomasConnorsJr @Roku @alyankovic I don't know why you reminded me about this but... Found on a sign in a hotel lobby: "Please do not complain about our coffee. You may become old and weak one day yourself." ;)

  • FirecrackThat Ryan (@FirecrackThat) reported

    @RokuSupport Lol I don’t think you actually saw the tweet. My roku was the only thing not having issues.

  • Fake1923Jayhawk Fake 1923 Jayhawk (@Fake1923Jayhawk) reported

    @ByJoeDavis Watching on a Roku. I had a glitch or two where the video and audio repeated a few times then back to sort of normal. Still feel like my feed is behind game time significantly more than usual when streaming. #kubball

  • Waynesprat BOOMBAP CLAFFY RUBADUB SMADDY (@Waynesprat) reported

    The League pass servers are overloaded. There is mad glitches both on Cable and Roku. Hey @paulsen_smw , can you get the number of users streaming the games tonight. Probably went up 1000% with it being free tonight

  • cybooty Matt Lundquist (@cybooty) reported

    @gmackey32 @ESPNPlus Never mind, just got home and I guess they had issues with it on the Roku but I had no issue on my phone

  • wald_of WaldOfOz (@wald_of) reported

    @mollzballz84 Obviously should work on everything, but if you're tired of this ****, I run it on a fire TV stick and it's been pretty flawless. Most of the people I've seen complaining have Roku.

  • ChipClifft CliffClifft (@ChipClifft) reported

    @deepfriedcouch @GrizzOnBally I used the app on Apple TV, Roku and Firestick and all three had problems so I just gave up and decided to cancel my Bally+, it was either out of sync with video/sound or I had to restart devices so too much hassle just to try and maybe see half a game at best

  • terry4al79 Terry Chapman (@terry4al79) reported

    @Roku I’ve been trying to cancel a channel on the Roku app & I haven’t been able to figure it out. Help

  • jxlawson jack lawson (@jxlawson) reported

    @WarMachine2013 be nice if they got some equiptment that was consistent you never see the first half of anything the roku feeds usuly work better not tonite

  • deeont3 ᗪ乇乇 (@deeont3) reported

    Roku TVs have the worst sound . Like why from 45-90 it’s the exact same

  • Jeremy_Fichter 🧑🏼‍🍳 (@Jeremy_Fichter) reported

    Yeah it suck when things don’t work out with someone but on the bright side I have all their HBO Hulu and Netflix accounts on my roku :)
