Newsmax Plus Appears to Be On Roku TV

Noticed that Newsmax Plus appears to be included in the Roku TV lineup, so if you pay the monthly fee for everything in Roku TV then it appears you get the new paywalled Newsmax, too.  Can anyone corroborate this?  Am I off the mark?

There does not appear to be a standalone Newsmax Plus app for Roku, which I'm guessing is because it's included in the Roku TV channel lineup...?

  • Newsmax+ is not currently available on the Roku platform. Please reach out to Newsmax for more information and to let them know you'd like to see their service on Roku.

    We'll update this post if the channel partner makes their service available on Roku.

      I have also paid for a yearly subscription to Newsmax Plus and cannot access it on Roku. I also cannot contact their customer service and they do not respond to emails, posts, etc. A very bad customer experience.

        I think Newsmax Plus is actually on the paid Roku Channel's lineup, which makes me wonder why Roku staff can't answer the question about how to access Newsmax Plus.  They ought to be able to answer that question.

        At any rate, had to cancel the Newsmax Plus subscription today.  They keep interrupting shows with ads while hosts are talking (i.e., during content) and instead of ads are playing strange, repetitive bumper music and old speeches from former presidents, car maintenance tips, and other stuff that's a bunch of disjointed, unrelated content...  It makes the viewer experience very unpleasant.  Wrote Newsmax and hope they'll fix their new channel/situation and app situation quickly.

      I paid for 1 yr annual subscription for Newsmax+ yesterday and I can't find the app either. I have old free app and when I click on it I get newsmax2 but no live feed yet. Does anyone know when you can get the  new app?

  • I don’t mind supporting newsmaxPLUS but I can’t find it on ROKU. 

  • I just signed up for my first year. A lot of people are complaining and honestly I did too for about 30 seconds and then I remembered the battle we're in to salvage the country, it's culture (USA culture) , our children & their outlook on things as they mature and grow, our economy, and our future. It's $49 for the year. I guarantee you that most people waste 3x that on stuff every day. The crew over there at Newsmax is top notch! I love all of them. Rob Schmidt should/could run for office sometime in the next few years. I think he is one of the best, Greg and Chris are awesome, the ladies are awesome and the message is clear. America first. When I get home it's what's on the TV until I finally sit down at midnight and watch a series or movie. I really don't need my cable company. They dont offer it anyway. I stream from LG IP channel 124p . Just completed my subscription and am going to go download it on my tvs. I do hope though that now they'll stop with the broken record commercials. Not sure its the public channel but the LG IP channel has some counter commercials. They're either hacked or LG is letting it happen. Vote yes on issue 1 commercials are coming on all the time, it's weird. It's like theyr trying to trick people INTO HEARING VOTE YES ON 1 on the conservative network they watch so they accidentally do it at the ballots. That being said extreme or violent cases need be treated individually and VERY EALRY, but I kinda thought that went without saying. I know it's touchy, and I'm not trying to bring that into the thread I'm sorry. Just wanted to give that example. 

    Everyone pay the $49yr or $4.99mo and help support Newsmax and help them grow to being supported like any other channel ....it's just there. The cable companies IMHO SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS. ITS COMMUNISTIC!

    Oh my point in this whole thread was to say thanks for letting us know that it's included in Roku subscription! I don't have that one but I do have tons of others. I think I need to consolidate lol. I'm gonna check it out.

      I agree however I paid the annual fee yesterday morning and so far have not been able to get it on Roku. Only the old one. It is really aggravating. I love Carl Higbie at 400 my time. Love the other ones also. How were you able to get it on Roku.. Thanks.

        I paid for a yearly subscription to Newsmax Plus, yet I cannot find it anywhere on Roku. I'm discouraged with the lack of customer service from Newsmax. They do not respond to the call-in number, nor the email form. It's a bad customer experience.

      I just purchased a new Roku TV.  It is going back to the store today!!!!

  • Paid on my phone yesterday.  Can’t find it on Roku on my tv.  Can someone walk me thru where to find Newsmax PLUS like I’m 5 yrs old?

      It seems to be very difficult to find a way to see it on the TV.  I am streaming it on my IPad tablet right now and am not having any problems.  I have a LG TV also and as of today haven’t been able to get it loaded.

        I only get Newsmax2 when I use Roku Live. I should be getting their live news stream with Newsmax Plus.

      No, because no one seems to know how to get Newsmax Plus working on Roku.

      If any Newsmax Fans want to watch their Newsmax Plus shows you can do so in the Google App on Android platform TV's right away.

      Install the App and login with your subscription email and password within the Google App after it's installed on your Google TV.

      Please don't give up, I'm sure Fox is having a laugh about this launch!

  • So, far I have found NO NEW NEWSMAX PLUS app to download and log into to make my subscription available.

    Unless there is some way to log into the Newsmax app that they have on Roku, someone would need to explain to me how.

    This isn't working right now. I am about ready to just cancel.

     

  • So we have to pay for Newsmax plus a Roku subscription every month? No thanks! Because we have 3 Roku streaming devices that we use for our 3 TV's and still don't get the new Newsmax as part of having Roku TV apps. In our opinion that should be enough, since we already subscribed and paid $49 for the year upfront of Newsmax as well. Now we have to pay for a Roku subscription as well?? What a RACKET this is!

      AngelandDeeA mml373 There is no such thing as a subscription to the Roku channel.  There is no fee for the Roku channel.  You can purchase subscriptions through Roku that can be used in the Roku channel, but there is NO fee for the Roku channel itself which includes many free channels.
