Once again I received the dreaded message of access forbidden. It will not work on multiple Roku units. I did the remove, restart system, reload app, etc. with no luck. This is not the first time for me. This is quite discouraging as the suggestions to fix the problem are not working at all. When I try to play this on my home computer with the AcornTV app, I am told that shows are not available outside the USA. I am in Pennsylvania and I have no VPN turned on either.
You couldy try restarting/rebooting all your network connected devices (modem/router/gateway+Rokus+computers+etc) and see if that clears it up.
Otherwise, assuming the problem doesn't clear up on its own as previously you'll need to contact Acorn TV support directly for this: https://support.acorn.tv/kb/en/
Make sure you emphasize you get the same error regardless of which device you are using (Roku, computer), that you are in the US/no VPN, and that this has happened before.
