      eil, on January 4th the Discovery Plus App was launched but we were unable to get it through the app section of our TCL ROKU TV. It’s a new streaming service that you pay for so those who wanted this app were unable to get it & were very upset! As of yesterday, the 5th, it’s been added. 

      I figured out you could get the app through the Roku website even though the app wasn’t amongst the apps section on our TV. Looks like all is running well now.

               Huh? I was able to go on to the streaming channels section on my Roku device, not a Roku TV, and it was there under the featured apps and also the new and notable, as well as the recommended apps section on January 4th. 

  • I have a roku 2xd tried to install Discovery plus channel.  Added to my streaming services ok.  Anyone have a work arounds.  Today is 1/12/21.  Do I need a newer model or is this a universal problem.

    Thanks

      papadewey12200 , I thought this issue was already fixed. I have a TCL ROKU TV & I wasn’t able to install the Discovery Plus App through Roku apps on 1/04/21. I had to use the Roku download link below. I heard on here the app was available on 1/05/21. Hopefully this will help you.

      I believe the Roku 2 is no longer supported with new software updates.  Still usable, but probably explains why you are having a problem.  Might have to spring for a new device......
