Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Peter Jones (@Peter_B_Jones) reported@roku so you sell me on your wireless surround sound then discontinue the products that work with it so that when one dies I can't even use a measly discount code on your website to replace the device! Garbage!
-
Victor Valencheck (@blau_vic_grana) reported@Roku I HATE this update. I want control of WHAT I see on m6 homescreen. I have to scroll down the page past a bunch of crap to see MY APPS. Fix this now!
-
🇺🇸 Save Tina 🇺🇸 (@MissingReagan) reported@BioMathJason @Roku @TCL_Global Yes, that's the way it is supposed to work, and has worked for the 5 years I've owned this tv. TCL did an update the early part of this year that removed the ability to watch OTA without internet. They did send a fix for most customers after the backlash, but many are still twisting in the wind. Their LiveTv is the culprit.

NorthRoad Creations (@northroadcreate) reportedWhy isn’t @AppleTV working on @Roku since whatever stupid Roku redesign/update they did? By the way Roku, no one asked for that nonsense. Leave things alone when they work!
-
Theresa (@Theresa99778608) reported@red_chem_lite @Roku You need a zapper for when they touch it, they will learn which. Our friends have two boxers that were like this and within the week they were broken.

Zero Jehuty (@Zero_Jehuty) reported@Roku Who do I need to contact about an issue with a commercial on your service? My mother saw an ad for a assistance card, and since she did that, she has been getting non stop spam calls meaning a commercial on YOUR service sold her phone number.

Osondu Esonwune (@OsonduEsonwune) reported@Roku I have done all but still the same problem

Stacey (@Nerd4915) reported@Roku The new Home Screen is terrible. I had everything set up exactly how I wanted it, in the order that I wanted it, and now I can’t change it back. Go back to the old Home Screen. Clearly the comments here, like mine, do not support this change. Listen to your customers.

mmmhmmm (@bleezy_db) reported@Roku Please fix the home screen. At least make it to to where we can land on the screen that allows us to see all of our apps on one page.

Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) reportedThe biggest problem with our @Roku TV: It's not earning the company any money because it is stuck in an unfixable boot loop. I bought this TV at Best Buy three years ago. It was for an elderly family member. She loved it. Until she didn't. As I was packing for the StreamTV Show last month, she called me to say her TV kept rebooting itself. "It's stuck on the spaceship thing," she said. I had no idea what that meant. I gave her my Sony TV to use while I tried to fix the problem. And let me tell you something, I have tried literally everything. I searched online for a fix, and found a number of Roku TV users who have encountered the same thing: For no reason, their TVs just randomly started boot looping, and trying to download and reinstall the firmware through Recovery Mode was no help. Some people suggested holding down the reset and power buttons for a certain length of time. That didn't work. Others suggested draining "zombie power" by pressing the power button for a half-minute while the TV is unplugged. That didn't work. A few said connecting to a mobile hotspot while in recovery might work. It didn't. One person suggested hooking the TV into a router via Ethernet. Well, this TV doesn't have an Ethernet port. This is the second Roku-powered TV that has caused us an issue. The first was a Walmart Onn-branded TV that died after six months. I figured one of Roku's own TVs was a reliable replacement, because the company told us as much when it started making its own TVs a few years ago. Then, executives promised that shipping Roku TVs where the company controlled the entire supply chain would help it make better-informed decisions about how its users were interacting with their devices, which would lead to better hardware and software experiences. Ultimately, our issue likely boils down to this: Roku uses cheap hardware in its smart TVs and streaming boxes to keep costs low. Executives said as much earlier this year when they affirmed that the ongoing processor and RAM shortage was likely to be a boon for Roku's business, because the company's operating system doesn't require premium hardware to operate. But the decision to use cheap hardware also means that it is more prone to breaking, and that is a major problem for a company like Roku. The company's $1.1 billion platform business is inherently dependent on consumers having reliable hardware that allows them to interact with said platform. When streaming devices and smart TVs break, it not only prevents customers from using their platform, it leaves a sour taste in their mouths — and customers are prone to abandoning the platform for a competitor. Which, in my family member's home, is now what has happened. She's inherited my six-year-old Sony TV, and she loves it. She's not giving it back. It runs Android. There's a bit of a learning curve, but she's committed to figuring it out. "I'm done with Roku," she told me. "I hope Fox knows what they're buying." $ROKU

Vakom Sunrunner (@VakomSunrunner) reported@Roku @RokuSupport Couldn't figure out where to report this but the episode order for The Transformers (1984) series is massively out of order. Not only are episodes not in the official chronological order, you've got season 2 episodes in season 1 and such. Please fix this.

Sergio Olarte (@repeye) reported@RokuSupport @Roku paying for your home monitoring service but your Entry Sensors have been out of stock for TWO YEARS. Frontline support has no answers. I need an escalation manager to contact me about hardware availability. This is a security system, please help.

Hugh Jorgen (@hughjorgen921) reported@Roku I have purchased numerous Roku devices, but all were purchased as appliances, not applications or services… your new home screen is quite possibly the worst intrusion of all. You are either assuming to know how we use our appliances, or you are spying on us. @DOJFraudDiv
