  • thedeathsiren Dr. Margarumpkin (@thedeathsiren) reported

    Love that Shudder always logs me out on roku and then doesn’t work when I try to sign back in, requiring me to delete the app, reinstall it, and then watch their promotional video before it lets me log in again

  • Thunderwood45 A Random (@Thunderwood45) reported

    @hulu_support It’s a Roku TV and has been like this for several weeks now. No errors. Will tell me I’m live, when I’m at least 30+ seconds behind

  • TattoosNLipstck Problematic ***** 💋 (@TattoosNLipstck) reported

    @fuboTVsupport hey 👋🏽 keep getting an error message and program isn’t loading on Roku TV. Is there an outage?

  • derrickc2011 rommie cottrell (@derrickc2011) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp dolby digital not working on roku.

  • _lrggggg silly little lad (@_lrggggg) reported

    My roku not working will be my 13th reason

  • BilgeEbiri Bilge Ebiri (@BilgeEbiri) reported

    Got the YES app to work on my Roku (after like four attempts). But how about *not* putting the game on your channel schedule if you’re not actually showing it?

  • golfCLP Tampa Bay Golden Age (@golfCLP) reported

    Can’t get #nfl gamepass to work on Roku for live games but I can watch on mobile. #gamepass

  • CheerUp_Charlie Chuck (@CheerUp_Charlie) reported

    @YouTubeTV I had to factory reset my Roku and it won’t let me redownload th YoutubeTV ! Please help!

  • mattborzillo 🎶Silver Matt-Rock🎶 (@mattborzillo) reported

    @BrianIsSuperRad @NowhereGirl138 @DinosaurDracula Its such a let down bc like we all said their library is insane! But the only thing we can ever get to work on any of the tvs that have a roku still is the the new releases. Tv isn't the basement has a fire stick and it works fine.

  • BrianIsSuperRad Brian is Super Rad (@BrianIsSuperRad) reported

    @NowhereGirl138 @DinosaurDracula I’ve been pretty lucky and haven’t had many of the issues others have. The one I DO get is the app locking up when scrolling/searching. It’s aggravating. I wish they’d get it figured out, as it’s been a year and a half since the app launched on Roku.

  • BeeRossCash 🍯🐝 (@BeeRossCash) reported

    Just used my Roku for the first time and everybody that ever stayed in my Bnb logins still work. Canceling all my subscriptions. #ghettoblessings

  • MKT_Gunslinger mark (@MKT_Gunslinger) reported

    Some good choices/choices is a good problem to have going into the week. Probably go with Vrm, Run add since I can play the others with options+ roku option already.

  • burley_ruth Ruth Burley (@burley_ruth) reported

    @paramountplus How do I disable audio narration on your channel. I’ve tried everything & nothing works. On a Roku TV. So far, DirecTV & Roku are doing research cause they couldn’t help me. I’ll have to stop my subscription if I can’t get this fixed.

  • apeman33 Scott Nuzum (@apeman33) reported

    So I have just gone through my parents' Roku and deleted the unnecessary CBS, CBS Sports, NBC, and ABC apps. If you have Paramount+ and Hulu, you don't need any of the above. I kept the NBC Sports, Fox Sports, and FoxNow apps. I don't think those are an issue.

  • SpecterXV スペクトル (@SpecterXV) reported

    @SRMDougie @Xfinity Appreciate it my man, looking over trending tweets thing there was a Xfinity Streaming issue for everyone but I was getting code TVAPP-00601 anytime I tried to watching online or on a Roku to stream the game

  • cptnblu69 Will Wright (@cptnblu69) reported

    If you have a @Roku do not pay for @hbomax all it does is crash #HBO #roku

  • KristinLord4 Kristin L-B (@KristinLord4) reported

    @danielleathorne @Roku I don’t think there is anything you can’t do/help/fix. The people’s champ fr

  • lachellerising LC (@lachellerising) reported

    Anybody have a smart Tv they love? Our sharp roku TV just randomly turned off and stoped worked after 2 1/2 years with no problems

  • _DC86 David (@_DC86) reported

    Needing some feedback here. Any input is greatly appreciated. I keep having problems with my Amazon firesticks. I'm thinking of switching everything over to Roku devices. Does anyone here use Roku sticks and do they ever freeze or skip?

  • yahya6418 Karen (@yahya6418) reported

    12m threw out his vegetables and then tested to hide it by taking out the trash, which I'm not stupid so it didn't work. so I told him no PS4 for the rest of the night (still had phone and Roku). he flipped his ****.

  • mockdisaster m0ckdisaster (@mockdisaster) reported

    Roku's Basilisk: when you try to work from home but your Roku settings are misconfigured and it hogs all the bandwidth

  • JJJJJOOOOOEEEEE Joe (@JJJJJOOOOOEEEEE) reported

    @Roku & @hulu, for MANY months, while watching Hulu, the back button on Roku remote- physical remote & the app- returns Roku to home screen. Many threads about this in Roku help forums, but no fix. It's getting worse. Fairly sure it's a Roku issue, not Hulu. Extremely frustrating

  • somanybadtweets ☠️👻 so many spooky tweets 💀🎃 (@somanybadtweets) reported

    @thedeathsiren I used to run into the same problem on Roku with Netflix and a few other apps. Had to eventually give in and buy a fire stick.

  • CindyRubin Cindy Rubin, MAT (@CindyRubin) reported

    UGH, everyone & their sibling are streaming! Can't get the news on in the kitchen. Good Grief. So, clever, #Roku in the kitchen but nada at the moment. Cable TV in just 2 rms & stream off of the Internet. Not working cause of a silly little game called football: men in tights!

  • beckysterner Becky Sterner (@beckysterner) reported

    @XfinitySupport Yes, the channel itself. Doesn’t work on Xfinity beta app on Roku, or through ESPN app on Roku or on phone or computer. Always get a message that I need to upgrade my subscription.

  • potato10191 potato1019 (@potato10191) reported

    @TeamYouTube Starting this afternoon I get an error message on the Roku for both YouTube and YouTubeTv. “YouTube could not be run because it could not be reinstalled from the network.” What gives?

  • thecanadiankop Canadian Kop (@thecanadiankop) reported

    @chief_J96 No problem on my DAZN in ROKU with a different internet provider

  • Ciarathallya Ciarathallya #GoodByeEvangelion (@Ciarathallya) reported

    Why is no one talking about @Funimation apps are not working on Roku, Amazon Fire tablets or Google TV or Samsung smart TVs? It's been broken for almost 24 hours. Frustrating! #Funimation

  • sinfulsain Josh Palmer (@sinfulsain) reported

    @Roku @TheRokuChannel would it be possible to get some help on recovering my password ? Every time I try to reset it, I never get an email. Tried both emails.

  • ATLGreg1 His Dudeness (@ATLGreg1) reported

    @PlotkinJoel @AppleTV They literally told me to contact Roku. But on the Roku forums, this has been an issue for years with no apparent resolution. Unbelievable.
