Wondrium Channel: Sign In Every Time Roku Restarted

Ever since the Great Courses channel was migrated to Wondrium I have to sign into the channel every time the Roku box is restarted. Not sure if I need to remove and re-add the channel to fix the problem. However, there is no option to remove the channel. Stuck. Please advise.

    When problems are confined to a particular channel, it may be that the channel didn't install properly, that it didn't update correctly, or that the installation has otherwise gotten corrupted. A reinstall may fix the problem, so give it a try.

    Remove/reinstall procedure:

    1. Highlight channel on home screen.
    2. Press * key on remote and choose Remove channel option.
    3. IMPORTANT- DON'T SKIP:
      Restart the Roku to clear its memory via Settings > System > System restart. (On a Roku TV, this is Settings > System > Power > System restart.)
    4. Reinstall the channel from Streaming channels on home screen menu.. Note it will be added to the END of the channel grid.
    5. If channel requires a login, you may need to log in anew.

    If the problem persists at this point, it typically means the current version of the channel app has a problem that must be addressed by the channel itself as they are the ones that create the Roku-compatible version of their app and provide it to Roku.

      There is no option to remove the channel. Surprised it is not in the list of options.

        Is this something for which you have a paid subscription through Roku?  If so you'll need to unsubscribe from the channel before you can remove it.  Subscriptions are prepaid so it will continue for the balance of the prepaid subscription period, but you should now be able to remove the channel / restart the Roku (don't skip this step) / reinstall the channel.  When the original subscription runs out you can resubscribe if desired.
