    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for your patience while this issue was being investigated.

    We would recommend checking for a channel update by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button > Check for updates.

    Once the channel is updated, try seeing if you able to access the channel again.

    Please keep us posted what you find out.

     

    Happy Streaming!
    Danny

    Certainly you may complain, but you need to complain to the BBC. They are the one that provides the iPlayer channel, not Roku.

    We can offer a suggestion or two, though. When you removed the channel, did you reboot your Roku before you installed it again? If not, then it wasn't really removed. You must reboot the Roku after removing a channel to ensure all the little pieces are completely gone.

        Yes, reboot/restart is what I meant. Just had to ask, because people are sometimes unaware of the requirement to do it when removing a channel. Sounds like BBC has a problem with their channel then, and only they can resolve it.

      jadiel this isn't a discussion board for Android based devices. Take your discussion elsewhere.

      Roku does not even own the Android brand.  Google does.  Therefore, you may need to take your discussion at Google Support.

        The Roku OS is based on Linux, not Android. Of course, Android is based on Linux as well, but they are still two completely different operating systems, and there's no correlation between the two when it comes to programming for them.
