Re: STILL NOT Resolved: Channel launch issue - "Can't run channe...

Hope this helps.

I saw a fix from a user to change the "Theme" and the "Screensaver" and it worked.

So I changed mine, and it worked.

Try that and hopefully you will have the same results.

Tom A., 

Do you have a roku express and this worked? I don't think changing the theme and screen saver works for the roku express models.

@RokuDanny-R is the contact. It seems a lot of folks are fixed and they are still trying to learn why others are not. 

If you can provide the data from your device as requested earlier in the thread, it can help.

In the mean time, try changing to different themes and screensavers. Try a couple of different ones, simple and complex. It seems that making that change causes some internal information to reset to the correct value.

I am not sure of the models, but I have 2 of them. One in the bedroom attached to the bottom of my TV hanging on a mount from the ceiling like a hospital does.

The other one I am not using right now, it does go in my Motor Home when I south for the winter.

Here are picks of both. I names the "Bedroom..." and "Not Used..."

Hopefully this will help.Bedroom Looking up at bottomBedroom Looking up at bottomBedroom FrontBedroom FrontBedroom RemoteBedroom RemoteNot used Front & RemoteNot used Front & RemoteNot used bottomNot used bottom

Hey Tom,

Somehow, some way, this worked for me! Thank you so much for giving me the specifics on the theme/screensaver. Crossing my fingers that it stays working! There's a lot of sports coming up that we'll want to be watching!

Change the screensaver and theme a few different times, that seems to fix something in the code that makes it work for some users. Also be sure you have the latest software updates.

My channels started working again...I tried all the tips but still nothing, until I unplugged my tv for a few minutes. After plugging it back in each channel updated and worked. Hoping it lasts. Thanks for sharing all the info.
