Sirius XM closing out as soon as I open it

I've been listening to Sirius XM on my RokuTV all day.  I went to a limited edition channel to see what was playing and it got bumped off the app.  Every time I try to open it now it pops up the XM Screen for a second and then bumps me off again.  It is not the internet - my Iheart Radio app is working.  I have removed and added the channel twice, turned the TV off and on, etc.

Re: Sirius XM closing out as soon as I open it

Roku does not make TVs. They make the software and sell it to manufacturers such as TCL, Hisense and Sharp. Roku’s also does not make the SiriusXM channel. But please try this in order. Remove the SiriusXM channel, restart you Roku TV (go to settings/ system/ power. Turning off the TV isn’t the same. After the TV restarts then re add SiriusXM

Reset or restart? How did you restart your TV?  A restart means the tv actually reboots. Reset means you did a factory reset. It puts the tv back to the same day you took it out of the box

You shouldn’t have to log back into your Roku account after simply restarting your TV. I restart mine about every 6 days just cause. But I’m still logged into my Roku account. Is this a TCL? Hisense? Sharp?

@JayCray

Thanks for the posts.

If you are still unable to resolve the issue after removing, restarting, and adding the channel back, you'll want to contact Sirius XM support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

 

Thanks,
Danny
