When I click on YouTube icon or Youtube TV the following message comes up: 

YouTube? YouTube TV  could not be run because it could not be reinstalled from the network. Please, check your network connection and try again.

I have checked the network and connection It's all fine. Some apps on Roku work, some old ones just like YouTube don't load. Please, I need advice/ instructions. I watch only YouTube Channel basically. I'd like to see it running via Roku again. Thank you

    Followed all your instructions. the situation is the same, the issue is still there - 80 % of Roku channels/ apps stopped working including YouTube and Roku channel. Whenever I click on most of apps icons it takes me back to Homepage. What' the solution?

    Has Roku stopped contracting with all these companies? Could you provide me a list of channels/apps that you still contract? and Which ones don't contract with Roku any more? 

    Roku box has become useless.
