So yesterday my Roku was missing the DIRECTV app, went to the App Store and it showed Downloaded and has the open option, but when pressing that option it does nothing, Roku app on the phone won’t delete the app either, this is happening to two of my Rokus one at home and on the go

    On your Roku remote, press Home 3x, Up 2x, then Left, Right, Left, Right, Left.

    When the Channel Menu Screen appears, scroll down the list and find the channel (DirectTV) and select "Remove".

    Then restart the Roku device (Settings/System/Power/System Restart) and then perform a Search for the channel/app on your Roku device and install it from the device. (do not use the online Streaming Store).  The channel/app should hopefully now be visible on the Home Screen again.
