Re: OAN purchased it isn't working and you charged my credit card

So this has been going on a month and the problem is not resolved?  Now it is happening to me.  I have been subscribed to OAN for years without issues and now this?  My subscription was due to bill tomorrow so I have cancelled.  I don't want to pay if I can't watch.

I have tried a factory reset, it automatically re-adds OANN, I think because I still have some time left on my subscription until tomorrow, but I cannot watch.  It won't let me delete the channel either.

Please fix!!!!

Re: OAN purchased it isn't working and you charged my credit card

It is starting to be clear what is going on with OAN. It seems they have been in the process of transitioning from a model where the streaming platforms collect the money for them, to a model where they collect the money directly. As part of this, they are retiring their old channel, which is listed as "One America News OAN" on Roku, and several days ago they started promoting a new channel, "OAN Live", available on several devices. You sign up for OAN Live directly through OAN's website and can watch on different devices with a single subscription.

Needless to say, the transition was poorly executed, leaving viewers with a lot of confusion.

In my own situation, I subscribed to the OAN Package on Klowd TV when the old OAN channel stopped working. Except now I am not confident I am getting the live feed on Klowd TV, now that OANN has announced OAN Live.

And it still won't let me delete the old channel that I can't watch anymore.  If I try to delete it, it sits there a long time like it is trying to verify something, and then says it can't delete the channel.  I know I can create a new Roku account to get around this, but that is a pretty drastic step that could have other unforeseen consequences.

I figured it out.  There's the OAN Live app on Roku where you can login with your subscription info and get OAN Live.

 

I think this is because OAN retired the old app and moved over to this one

OAN just sits there trying to upload in a circle and has 13% in the middle of the circle. I quit working yesterday and I pay for OAN

Hi @Locker112,

Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

We recommend starting here to troubleshoot channel issues: Follow these steps in order:
1. Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the * key on your remote, and choose 'Remove channel'.
2. Next, restart your device from Settings>System>Power>System restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step)
3. Once your player/TV starts up again, go to 'Streaming Channels' on the Home screen, and add the channel back once more.

To help troubleshoot the issue further, follow this link: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support

Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.


Best regards,
Mary
