Fox Sports, Resourse is not supported by MVPD (Error)

Why can't I watch any sports anymore? This Internet TV has been very frustrating since I got it two years ago. I miss most games for one reason or another.

Today I got a "Resource is not supported by MVPD" Error.

I can see it once in a while, But once a month I miss some games.

Any Idea what this one might be?

Thanks

      MVPD is a highfalutin way of saying your TV provider (cable co, satellite co, etc.)  Which is why I was curious if everyone in the thread might be authenticating to the same one.

      Thats code for saying, We want you all to pay through the nose to watch any sports. Mafia-like Nowadays.
      Losing interest in watching any of them anymore, Or finding a dependable alternative network and spending my money there. Downright Un American it is 😕

  • Same. I had to delete app, re add app, reboot tv. Then I got about 2 hours of Fox sports, and it reverted to not supported by MVPD

      Hi Cd63,

      Welcome to the Roku Community, and thanks for sharing this information with us!
      We appreciate the effort that you have made to troubleshoot the issue. After attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. In this case, an issue within that specific channel likely needs to be addressed with an update from them.
      If you need anything else, please let us know.

      Kind regards,

      John

        I wonder if you folks are all authenticating with the same cable operator?  Since this only seems to affect a small number of users that could be a common denominator that could help Fox figure out the problem.

        Thanks for letting us know about this experience, Topa

        Kindly try to perform the correct sequence to reboot this channel by removing the channel, restarting the device, and adding the channel. You can also try to check for the channel's update by clicking the star button on your remote.

        If the issue remains unresolved, we recommend contacting Fox Sports 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 assist best.

        If other channels are working correctly and you only experience this issue on the Fox Sports channel, that likely indicates the issue lies within that particular channel. In these cases, the channel provider must investigate the issue to help resolve it.

        We hope this helps.


        Regards,
