So here’s a reply I received from NFL digital care:
Personally streaming live NFL games, NFL Network and NFL RedZone online in the United States requires a subscription with a participating cable provider. If you previously had access to live games without a cable TV provider this would have been an error in your favor.
Doesn’t make sense to me. The NFL App is available on my Roku TV. It’s an app from NFL, not a TV channel.
Nonetheless, this is contrary to Roku’s support team telling me that they are working on an update.
Dude I deleted the app and reloaded it. Worked immediately. !!!!
