Fox News Commercial Break?

Fox News app on Roku. Going into the app everything is fine except Fox News Channel Live. It goes to a screen saying, "Commercial break in progress." It never goes to the live stream.

It allows me to watch News Now live and Fix Sports live, just not Fox news live.

Any suggestions?

      I also have this problem. The screen goes black and “add info” is in right corner of screen.  
      I also have problem with remote not responding. Takes minutes to change programs or channels between commands from remote.

    Odds are this is something Fox has to fix at their end, but you can try reinstalling the channel to see if that helps.

    Remove/reinstall procedure:

    1. Highlight channel on home screen.
    2. Press * key and choose Remove channel option.
    3. IMPORTANT- DON'T SKIP:
      Restart the Roku to clear its memory via Settings > System > System restart. (On a Roku TV, this is Settings > System > Power > System restart.)
    4. Reinstall the channel from the channel store.  Note it will be added to the END of the channel grid.
    5. If channel requires a login, you may need to log in anew.

        Hallelujia!   Now things will quiet down here until Fox starts messing around with it again.

  • The FoxNews app Live feed (on all platforms) seems to be having some trouble (I just tested it, and the FoxNews live feed isnt working, though the FBN live feed is)

    You'll need to report this to FoxNews:

    In the meantime, you can watch FoxNews live using the FoxNow app (free preview and authenticated with provider login).
