    Roku Ultra Issues with BBC iPlayer

    Just purchased a Roku ultra from Amazon, as I was impressed with the 4k stick Roku. But sadly it’s failing to impress. BBC iPlayer will not even load, five and U will do adverts and then cease to do anything and says the video is not available. Never had this with the 4k stick and expected a lot more from the ultra being over twice the price of the stick. Makes it a very expensive remote control and it’s not fit for purpose.

    Loose audio after a commercial on NetFlix

    We are having a similar issue where we loose audio after a commercial on NetFlix. It appears to be on only one of our streaming sticks, and it does not appear to be consistent. This is on a model 3830R - Roku Streaming Stick Plus with software version 14.6. We do not have any external audio device (only the speaker built into to the Vizio E322AR TV. And resetting the Roku Stick everytime this happens is not an acceptable solution to the problem.

    YouTube TV playback issue

    So you closed a discussion on Roku no longer working properly with YouTube tv, by blaming it on YouTube, IN SPITE OF irrefutable proof that the problem is with Roku Express no longer working. NOTHING that YouTube tv does will change the fact that ROKU is the problem. And the worst part is that people with a ROKU tv are really screwed because they’ll have to buy a new tv to get YouTube tv working again! I will be providing YouTube tv support with ALL of my reports, research and fixes, showing them that it is NOT their issue, it’s Roku’s. Thanks for Nothing!

    Roku Media Player no longer plays videos

    Roku Media Player no longer loads the videos from my home PC. It can find my PC, it can find the media I have on my PC but stops loading at thirteen percent when I select a video to watch.. I have removed and reinstalled the media player app, I have rebooted my PC, I have re-started my router box and my WiFi box. Media Streaming is turned on. I have read so many pages on the internet trying to solve this problem, I have looked at so many settings on my PC but nothing has worked. I am now completely lost and confused.

    Buffering Issues on HBO Max and Spectrum Apps

    I bought a Roku 40" HD LED TV less than a month ago. The model number is 40R3C5. So far we have been using mostly the Spectrum app and HBOMAX app. The TV is struggling with both of them. Within the HBOMAX app it will stop abruptly while watching a show. Sometimes it comes back after several seconds, sometimes it comes back with just sound and no picture, often times it will get us out of the app and we have to go back in. While watching a recorded show via the Spectrum app the other night, it got choppy for awhile, then came back but automatically turned on closed caption. It did that three times during a hour and a half show. I've gotten messages to go to settings and check wi-fi connectivity. Every time I do this the connection test runs fine. We have a 400mbs internet package, so our speed and bandwidth is fine. I have a TV in our basement with a Roku box attached to it. All the apps work fine on the Roku box. Please help. What is wrong with my brand new smart TV? This is very frustrating! Regards, Mark

    YouTube video loading issues after Oct. 2025 update

    Just updated my Ultra and now YouTube is taking a long time to load videos and often fails to load them entirely with no error code given. Is anyone else having this issue?
