Criterion and arrow playback

On both my old and new device, criterion channel and arrow channel are giving "video won't play (code 6)." Just started happening recently. I've restarted and reset devices, but nothing works.

      I did all of this. Same issue. Also, I get a message that says Amazon Prime is not is not supported on my Roku model, even though I just bought a new one. Everything plays fine on my laptop. This is obviously a Roku issue with my account. I was told there was a hack that caused issues like this, but don't know if that's the case. I can't get in touch with an actual human over the phone to resolve this. In any event, I'm paying for services I am not receiving.

        I would also add that my entire roku is acting glitchy as can be, which makes me wonder about a hack.
