  • thedialectic_ The Dialectic (Shem Doupe) (@thedialectic_) reported

    How insanely unlucky: I bought a @Roku yesterday specifically for the spectrum TV app. It arrives tomorrow. TODAY! roku dropped the spectrum tv app. What is worse is that if I had gotten it a day earlier I would have been grandfathered in. Hopefully the work things out.

  • Cantor82 The Dude Abides (@Cantor82) reported

    @RokuSupport @Roku I'm having an issue with one of my remotes. I'll swap out batteries and it'll fix the problem but the next day when I go to use the remote again I'll have the same issues

  • am_engelbrecht adam e. (@am_engelbrecht) reported

    @rnarev @TheTechGinger @wirecutter Agree that’s a glaring hole, but if you have an Apple device you can AirPlay it to the Roku. I’m just not sure that one service is enough to tip googles awful product support over the Roku.

  • alyssaialyssa 🎄 (@alyssaialyssa) reported

    I had no idea all roku remotes work on any roku tv

  • RGinHarlem 💛My Head Hurts Dot Com (@RGinHarlem) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum Forget that. Your issue is with @Roku and not me.

  • chantechante_ TéTé (@chantechante_) reported

    @Roku oh so your customer service number doesn’t work? YOUR TV’s ARE TRASH!!! You can’t even screen mirror to the TV without downloading a third party app that never works! AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CHARGE ME $14.99 RANDOMLY?! WTF AM I PAYING FOR? Who else pays for Roku?!

  • LRayWalters Larry Walters (@LRayWalters) reported

    @FuturesTrader71 Your tv won’t be the issue watch for overheating on the Roku stick

  • DA_NeilW Neil (@DA_NeilW) reported

    @patricknorton What kind of limitations are there on Airplay quality, since Roku won’t play ball with HBO Max? Resolution, frame rate, HDR (when it’s available) and audio quality/codecs

  • PaulieHughes Paul Hughes (@PaulieHughes) reported

    @raymierussell @richmondmike Yeah I've got a Roku just for NOWTV. The Fire Cube handles everything including Kodi to watch MP4 files - just not Now TV until now. Of course I backed the donkey version! Thing is you used to be able to sideload it until they put checks into the app - so it can work! Grrrrr.

  • WanderinDreamr Helen Impact (@WanderinDreamr) reported

    @zippyelly I'm borrowing a friend's HBO Max login (traded my Funi login lol) so I have it on my phone and could probably put it on my ipad at least, don't have an HDMI cable to connect my laptop to the tv (and I wonder how long the battery would last if casting it to the roku....)

  • BobbyGr07964126 BobbyJackson (@BobbyGr07964126) reported

    @hirens @saxena_puru @GPaid4 I think his feed got too noisy when he did this. In the end it’s your decision. I’ve held things he has sold and done well for instance TTD and WORK, sold Roku and feel like an idiot. Knowing when to sell is hard, but you can’t rely on someone too tell you when.

  • Mattysquerades Matty's Masquerades - Wear A Mask😷 (@Mattysquerades) reported

    @sagevalentine I prefer to watch TV with Closed Captions on. It's just a preference, especially longer shows. But on my Roku, it doesn't work anymore, despite the fact that it worked the first time.

  • Peachykwen 𝔠𝔥𝔯𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔫𝔞 (@Peachykwen) reported

    crunchyroll’s roku used interface is actually the worst one i’ve ever seen

  • Brooklynmepleaz Sheena (@Brooklynmepleaz) reported

    @Cornbread_Fed20 @hbomax They had a contract issue. HBO use to be on Roku before they changed it to HBO MAX

  • annjohnnyb ann brendle (@annjohnnyb) reported

    @JohnThomasJR20 @RokuSupport The support for Roku is the worst ever. I need help and they wont respond

  • _vivalapanda VivaLaPanda (@_vivalapanda) reported

    @AsagiKurosagi Dodged a bullet cause Funi has the worst streaming apps. Their Roku app uses old CC style "white text on black bg" subs. No typesetting at all.

  • Nyr94cup Richie C (@Nyr94cup) reported

    @StevenACohen2 since every Mets fan knows you can solve any problem, can you make @hbomax and @Roku come to a deal?

  • drw26940 Derek (@drw26940) reported

    @nbc @BravoTV why do all of your apps suck? They always have issues on my roku. They freeze and lock up on the Samsung tv app. My internet is great and I never have these issues with other apps. It’s always NBC and bravo related apps that have issues! FIX THEM! So frustrating!

  • ChimeraWolfe ChimeraWolfe (@ChimeraWolfe) reported

    I swear, the @hbomax_ app is the #Cyberpunk2077 of streaming apps. It is constantly freezing or just refuses to work. I get really tired of having to delete and reinstall the app on my TV pretty much daily, and still no @Roku option. I had hoped it would have been fixed by now.

  • adam_bushman Adam Bushman (@adam_bushman) reported

    @davidjsmith1232 Just got it this year! By bro couldn’t get it to work on the Roku but you’re having success?? Imma tru here in the 2nd quarter

  • myownopinion151 essentia (@myownopinion151) reported

    @kisruuuu1 @ETOutlet What do I need to use it? I have Roku will that work?

  • TyyChakel Tulip O’Hare (@TyyChakel) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I’m subscribed to HBO through Roku. I know the Roku does not have HBO Max still but I should be able to use that same login on my iPad? I thought.

  • ktdharris Dr. Kathleen Harris (@ktdharris) reported

    @ATT @hbomax @wbpictures Does it work with roku or fire stick yet?

  • scorydott Dory Scott (@scorydott) reported

    Anyone having trouble with the @Newsmax app on #Roku?

  • Cantor82 The Dude Abides (@Cantor82) reported

    @Roku I'm having an issue with one of my remotes. I'll swap out batteries and it'll fix the problem but the next day when I go to use the remote again I'll have the same issues

  • ginabella Gina Bella (@ginabella) reported

    So VERY STRANGE! I tried to tune in to @gregkellyusa on Roku @newsmax TV and it would kick me out EVERY TIME. I even reinstalled and the same result. What is going on? I suspect SUPRESSION. Anyone else having trouble?

  • zippyelly Zip ✨✨ (@zippyelly) reported

    @WanderinDreamr Ooof yeah, we've got the same problem here. Arti and I have HBO Max but can't use it on our Roku so we have a computer hooked up to the TV to watch it lol (it comes in handy for Critical Role too!)

  • BeckyAllenWi Becky Allen (@BeckyAllenWi) reported

    I could watch their crapoy, poor quality app on my Roku device. It was because the quality of their app that I had to delete it only to find out that they removed it from their lineup. With no word to their customers. Thank you Spectrum! Again, proving that

  • BeckyAllenWi Becky Allen (@BeckyAllenWi) reported

    So, basically Spectrum would rather lose a customer than try to keep them. I was told that they will not give me a cable box to use for free until they remedy their contract issues with Roku. So, they pretty much said either I watch tv on my phone or go somewhere else. Nice.

  • athomeinbklyn David the Baker (@athomeinbklyn) reported

    @hbomax The solution that you keep suggesting when I ask about the availability of a Roku app doesn’t work. When I try to stream from my iPad, I cannot use other apps at the same time.
