    Hi Lisa818,

    A warm welcome to the Roku Community!

    In some cases, removing the channel and then reinstalling it may help. To ensure the process is successful, follow the steps below, making sure you restart your Roku device before adding the channel again.

    1. Remove the channel. Highlight the channel tile on your home screen and press the Star button on your Roku remote to open the Options menu. Select Remove channel and confirm.
    2. Restart your Roku device: Home>Settings>System>Power. "If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step." System restart.
    3. Reinstall the channel. Visit the Roku Channel Store and add the channel again.

    Please keep us posted on how it goes.

    All the best,

    Chel

      There is no option to remove the channel. The only options I have are move channel, restart channel and manage subscription. I’ve tried everything else mentioned in your post

        Lisa818-

        Since this is a premium channel to which you subscribed through Roku, "Remove channel" will be replaced by "Manage subscriptions". Click this and follow the prompts to unsubscribe from this channel. (Don't worry. You'll still have use of it for the balance of your pre-paid subscription period. You can resubscribe later if you like.)

        Now the ”Remove channel" menu item will be back and you can remove the channel.

      You shouldn’t recommend to remove and reinstall the channel , this is not an option when you are subscribed to it. This issue needs to be resolved asap

      Read back, it's not technically Roku's fault. Direct your question to Viaplay on support-uk@viaplay.com
