Hi Community users,

Thank you for reporting this issue to the Roku Community!

We are sorry to hear that the Max channel isn't working for you. We would be happy to look further into this issue but we will need more details. Can you please provide us with the following information:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
  • Does this issue occur on a specific channel? if so, what channel and what version or build is the channel (this can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)?
  • Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID) 
  • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to try to resolve the issue?

Once we have this information, we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further.


Best regards,
Mary

This has been happening to me and I haven't been able to access ANY MAX programming for days now.

Sharp Model: LC-40LB601U / Serial# YK000C113981 / Device ID: KPT8A0113981 / Software OS/version: 12.5.5 built 4174-69.

This is ONLY occurring with MAX app!

I have tried getting the "Tracker ID" when error happens but have been unable to get one.

I have worked with my service provider, who re-set my router, I restarted my tv many times, cleared caches, unplugged/plugged tv, un-installed and re-installed app twice. Nothing works.  All my other apps work!!

I'm paying for an app and programming that this tv now has not allowed me to access for days!  Why is this happening all of a sudden and WHEN and how will this be fixed??
