Roku Channel not playing shows....

OK,  shows I try to play on Roku Channel will play Weeds, Bitten, 24, **bleep** on Wheels, Homicide Squad etc. etc. etc. Hit play, says loading, then goes back to play screen again. I have reinstalled channel, same thing...

Roku Premiere 3920CA

Software ver 10.0.0 build 4209-91

I see this is a common problem but there seems to be no solution..

Anyone?

@Jose102729 

That's extremely unusual. Try rebooting the Roku device. Don't do a factory reset, just reboot the device.

If that doesn't resolve it, try restarting the modem and WiFi router, then the Roku.

Shut all those devices down, then restart one at a time, waiting 2-3 minutes between:

  • Modem
  • Router (if separate from modem)
  • Roku

Let us know if that resolves or not.

Re: Roku Channel not playing shows....

I assume you're in Canada?  I have seen several people in Canada say the same thing.  Maybe @RokuDanny-R can help.

Re: All content in roku channel says “is not available or has expired”

@Jose102729, you're not alone:

It's weird that it works on one device and not the other.  I don't know what the deal is with Canada and The Roku Channel.  One thing that might be worth trying is to remove the channel from the problem Roku by highlighting it on the Home Screen and pressing * on your remote (choose "Remove channel"), restart/reboot the Roku (don't skip this step), and then add the channel again from Streaming Channels.  Let us know if it helps.

Re: All content in roku channel says “is not available or has expired”

I did everything restart/reboot the Roku, and reinstall again the channel.  Unfortunately, the problem stills. Not sure what else to do to fix this, any help will be appreciated.
