I am learning to hate CBS. You?

I'm a little puzzled by some of these comments because I simply am not having issues with my apps on the ROKU at all. Granted some of them have better interfaces than others (although I've noticed a tendency for them to copy one another in that regard.) I've not had any issues with Paramount+ recently, maybe in the beginning, and I see no difference in performance and others, including Peacock.

I still suspect some of these issues stems from the streaming device itself. Because I have had trouble with Fire TV and the apps that are built into my LG tv are shitty and I've long since abandoned using them for ROKU.

I am all Roku here. What I'm talking about is shit like you're 50 episodes into a series and all of a sudden, the app just forgets that you watched them and resets to season 1, episode 1.

It's not about performance. It's just glitchy interfaces. Netflix, for example, is slow but flawless. Peacock's interface is slow as hell and half the time graphics don't load all the way. Paramount is the worst though. Scrambled watch lists and the like.

Interesting. I haven't had that issue. At least not recently. Now that i think about it, when I first started with Paramount+ I think I had some similar issues. But even then it often seemed to be related to specific shows (I had issues trying to stream the original Frasier for example) But I haven't had any issues in a long time. However in fairness, I don't use P+ as much anymore since I gave up on Star Trek. In fact it just renewed for a year and even though they gave me a deal, I probably should have just cancelled it.

I guess I've been lucky. I really haven't had any issues with the Paramount + app on my FireTV 4K Max stick or on the Google TV dongle I use on another RV.

I have had that issue a few times, very frustrating. Oddly, sometimes lately it will say the wrong episode on the prompt, but if you go to it, it is the right one.


Netflix keeps suggesting series that I have already watched as well. If you pause it for just a few minutes, it goes away.

Max is probably the best one we have, but the selection is kind of weak. I can pause it for quite a while and it will still be there.

Didn’t they use to have antennas you can put on the Dish/Directv dish? So you can fake having satellite.
