Your suggestion that Roku fix the app indicates you think Roku built the app. Well, they did not. Roku does not build the apps that run on their platform. By the way Apple, Google, and Amazon do not build the apps for their platforms either. These companies provide the platforms for app developers, who build the apps which you, the end user, utilize.
If an app does not work, it is usually because there is a problem with the app, not the platform. And just like Apple, Google, and Amazon will not fix an app they did not build, neither will Roku.
Perhaps letting Fox, NBC, and CBS, who built their respective apps, know of your displeasure would be in order.
ROKU won't let me sign in. Code does nothing. I have no provider other than the internet. No cable or dish.

RCT13, if you don't have a cable, satellite, or streaming provider (Roku is none of those) then you won't be able to use the Fox News app. You can watch Fox Live Now on The Roku Channel.

Thank you for the information, but very disappointing. It shows up on the screen, and gives me a code to enter, but the code doesn't work.

The reason I got Roku was so that I could cut the cable cord, Does Roku need a cable provider or an internet provider? I thought it was just an internet provider, but when I try to put the code into the fox news box, it tells me my package does not cover that and I have to upgrade my plan. In my case, I have xfinity, and I want to get rid of the cable part of it, but if I do, will roku get me fox ?

Isn’t Roku a streaming provider?????

Oldoaktree123, Roku is not a provider. They build little computer boxes that connect to your TV. Roku is no more a provider than the maker of your computer.
