The Hidive channel won't play on Roku

Hidive has stopped playing on my Roku device. When I click on the channel icon I get a blank black screen. I have already tried the delete the channel, reset the Roku, reinstall the the channel steps. No luck. I am using a Roku Ultra 4800k 2020.

        Hi Community users,

        Thanks for posting in the Roku Community regarding the issue you are experiencing while streaming the Hidive channel on your Roku device.

        If you have tried following the troubleshooting steps on our support page: How to resolve a channel playback issue

        If you are still unable to play videos from one channel after attempting the suggestions on the link, videos from other channels play fine; contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help.

        You may reach them here: Hidive Support.

        The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. In this case, an issue within that specific channel likely needs to be addressed with an update from the channel developer.

        In the meantime, you can highlight the Hidive channel tile and press the star (*) button on your remote to update it.

        We eagerly await your response and assure you we will thoroughly investigate this issue.

        All the best,
        Chel

  • Same here 2 different Roku Ultra LT and a Hisense Roku TV

  • I’m having the same issue I’ve reached out to Hidive and answered all their questions but I still haven’t gotten a resolution.

      Hi Community users!

      Greetings from the Roku Community.

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Rest assured that we'll coordinate this with the team for review. In order to narrow down the cause of the issue, we would appreciate it if you could share with us your device details such as follows:

      • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and current software version. (this can all be found in Settings > System > About)
      • Tracker ID (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID)
      • Channel build version

      We'll be looking forward to your response so that we can check this further and provide you with a swift resolution.

      Best regards,
      Carly

  • I'm having the same issue on 3 different Roku devices. 

  • Same issue with Model 4630X - Roku Premiere+. Blank. Delete, restart, reinstall, and still blank.

      Also contacted hidive and started a ticket with them. Sounds like I wasn’t the first.
