  • BenitaJoy Benita Lotkhamnga (@BenitaJoy) reported

    Wait... me being frustrated about trying to get Lao/Thai subtitles for my mom to work to only realize the subtitles have to be controlled via @roku settings and they only support English, Spanish, Dutch, French and Portuguese. I see... 😒

  • beechwoodlove Kristen 🐈‍⬛ (@beechwoodlove) reported

    Yet another day of @Ask_Spectrum’s piece of **** Roku app not working. Why do I pay for their cable “services” again?

  • _MisfitLunatic_ Rae ☀️ (@_MisfitLunatic_) reported

    So my mum has failed at setting up the TV. She has it all plugged in, made a Roku account, but there is no code to put in for it to connect the TV to her account. So now she's back to being mad and pouty. I'd offer to help, but knowing her, she'd tell me I'm too stupid to help.

  • TimothyChauvin TimSixFo (@TimothyChauvin) reported

    @News4Laughs @Roku Grab the silicone cover on Amazon for a few bucks. Volume problems will never happen again

  • stewulrich Stewart Ulrich (@stewulrich) reported

    @MSNBC Need help with the NBC News app on my Roku TV. How can I get an answer?

  • purplelady958 Destiny Mom 🇺🇸 (@purplelady958) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum Live TV. I don't have a cable box. I stream through roku. Understand every other channel is fine. Just these 2 hours for this show. It won't even work on my phone.

  • ColleenCanTweet Colleen Stevenson (@ColleenCanTweet) reported

    @dantivirus I do that with my roku remote a lot. I’m like WHY IS THIS THING NOT WORKING and it’s just because I’m using the wrong remote.

  • 15CPOOLE Christopher Poole (@15CPOOLE) reported

    @Huwarr @JesperOtten @F1 Thanks. Worked for me on the computer but the app and Roku app wouldn’t work. GlD I got to watch it though!

  • Vladi_OnDaBeat Cap (@Vladi_OnDaBeat) reported

    @Roku the Streaming Stick was probably the worst version to buy. 1. The cable that connected from the power cube to the stick, the male adaptor broke off 2. The reconnect of the remote controller is impossible 3. And if you do have to Factory Reset, you lose all your settings.

  • manishaimani sagacious words (@manishaimani) reported

    Having a brother has a tech geek is a blessing and a curse. He absolutely HATES everything about Apple products so no help there. He knows how to control my ROKU Tv from his room. How? Idk but he does 😑.

  • ZengFuey ZenBeary (@ZengFuey) reported

    @VusiSambo This, tells me the SABC has a content quality problem. They not getting the eyeballs, attracting ad revenue. TV licensing electronic devices will not make it better, either. They should look at a vehicle like Roku or Chromecast and learn to package their content better.

  • CherylShawty3 Cheryl Shaw (@CherylShawty3) reported

    @BBCiPlayer I’m trying to watch Good Trouble and the beginning trailer is buffering on a black screen then resetting my Roku

  • Vladi_OnDaBeat Cap (@Vladi_OnDaBeat) reported

    There needs to be a way to reconnect controllers WITHOUT having to push the reset button. Make a port on the remote and make a cable that connects. Or a way to connect with my phone. The real issue is that somehow, when the power flickered, my @Roku stopped connecting to WiFi...

  • roques1985 R.C. (@roques1985) reported

    Sure would be nice to watch the NASCAR Bristol dirt race on the big Roku smart TV in my office, but it seems that the @Ask_Spectrum app has decided it does not want to work. I get near constant buffering and an error RLP-1007... tried resetting net and still broken.

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @steveshanyaski Hi Steve, this issue is still ongoing. However Roku believe they have found the cause of the issues and are planning to release a software build in the next 24 hours to help resolve this issue.

  • scott4567 scott glennon (@scott4567) reported

    @Roku My roku stick has stopped working. It does not access my modem. When I try to get help, your website says "token not recognized" If I don't get help today, I'm going with google express. Enough nonsense.

  • Vladi_OnDaBeat Cap (@Vladi_OnDaBeat) reported

    Which really has nothing to do with the remote. Yet affects it all the same. This happens every 3 months or so. This shouldn’t happen. Again this is regards to the Roku Streaming Stick. Nothing else known yet. Please fix this @RokuSupport

  • britalexiis lex 📸✨🪴 (@britalexiis) reported

    I’ve doing so much school work that I just said “moodle” into the Roku remote 😭

  • Dsalgado15 Salgado (@Dsalgado15) reported

    Hey does the roku stick work for the set up or only fire stick ? @RedskinVerified

  • sisyphusgal b.1.1.7 is no joke (@sisyphusgal) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I went to use the roku app and it's asking me to renew a subscription. I pay for HBO through Hulu so I don't know what it is asking me for. Would you help?

  • TRPWL Harry Bosch (@TRPWL) reported

    @MLBNetwork why doesn’t my Apple app login work for my RoKU MLB app?
