britbox channel not loading/starting

The Britbox channel wont load all of a sudden.  After clicking it goes to the loading page for about a second then right back to the roku home. 

I've checked for updates for it and the roku, they're up to date. I've removed the channel, restarted roku, and added the channel back several times, and still nothing.

Is there anything else that can be tried?

    Hi ltxeira,

      This started about a week ago and Britbox is the only channel I'm having any trouble with, everything else works just fine.  I've done all the troubleshooting playback recommendations several times each but it's still not working.  

      When I click to open the channel it goes to the Britbox loading screen for half a second then right back to the Roku Home Screen.  There's no error message or anything like that, it just doesn't load.

        Hello ltxeiraCameron10712

        We appreciate your post.

        If removing the channel and adding it back after you've restarted the device does not resolve the channel issue, I'd recommend reaching out to channel support directly to report the issue and request additional support. Many channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel provider directly, and they'll be able to best assist. If other channels are working correctly, and you only experience this issue on that channel (app), that is likely an indication that the issue lies within that particular channel. In these cases, the channel provider will need to investigate the issue in order to help resolve it.
