HDIVE app defaulting to English dubbed

Hi,

The HDIVE app on my Roku TV just updated a few days ago and now I can no longer get shows in the Japanese language.
All the shows are now dubbed in English, which I am not interested in watching.
And there is no option to change the language settings to Japanese.
HDIVE support says its being done by ROKU nothing they can do on their end.
I've been watching HDIVE for several months and always had the option to change the language settings up until a week ago...when the app updated. I also noticed that ROKU has a new affiliation with HDIVE which I believe has something to do with this issue. What can I do?
Thanks

    I would say tell HDIVE they're lying.  Roku can't change the languages available in their app or any other.

      Series 1&2 of Pagan Peak on MHZ Choice are in the original German, but Series 3 is dubbed in English. Why is this? Series 3 is available in the original German on the regular MHZ  channel. I no longer want to watch series 3. I feel cheated by subscribing to Choice!

        Hi, This worked for me on my Roku TV. Hope it helps.

        To change the audio, play the title and then click pause. Once paused, select the (*) button on your remote control. From there, navigate down to "Accessibility & Language" and select "Audio Track." 
         
        If the title has multiple audio tracks available, you can choose the desired one from the options provided. Please note that subtitles will only be displayed in English regardless of the selected audio language.

    Mine defaults to english dub as well...horrible voice overs, flat and uninteresting.

    I'd prefer the original sound track (japenese) with english subtitles please!

    how do i fix this? when i press the star button while watching the anime nothing comes up...help please!
