    POPCORN CHANNEL APP does not work on ROKU TV or ROKU EXPRESS 4K. After loading it a week ago, it just fades to grey when you try to run it selected after a few minutes. Both systems the same, Tried deleting it and re-install (after software update boot and forcing the turnoff & on reset). Other streaming apps  works fine.

      The parent company is liquidating under Chapter 7. Redbox is already gone. It looks like PopcornFlix has now shut down. Crackle will probably die soon. From the few times I have tried it, the home screen has not changed as far as what is being advertised.
