Watch TCM problem

Jump to solution

The 'Watch live' feature on Watch TCM has stopped working as of a few days ago. All the other Watch TCM features work. I tried deleting and re-installing Watch TCM but the problem won't go away.

The problem cleared up last night around 7pm. I also reported the issue to TCM who indicated that they were aware of the 'outage with the Live TV feature on Roku'. Thanks for your reply.

After removing a channel, best practice is to restart your Roku to clear its memory before reinstalling the channel. Did you do this?

Restart via Settings > System > System restart (for Roku TVs: Settings > System > Power > System restart)

Watch TCM is out.  The logo appears, then just a black screen.

The service is working on my iPad, but not Roku.

This has never happened before, at least to me.

Hi @Rokokko,

Welcome to 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>System restart. (For Roku TV Settings>System>Power>System restart)
3. Once your player/TV starts up again, go to 'Streaming Channels' on the Home screen, and add the channel back once more.

Does this clear up the issue you are seeing? Please keep us posted.


Best regards,
Mary

The problems listed on the Roku page do not address mine.   As I noted yesterday, after the normal animated Watch TCM logo appears, the screen goes BLACK and stays that way.  

I have checked many other channels and they ALL operate normally; it's ONLY Watch TCM that refuses to open properly.  I tried refershing the software, but it didn't help.

HELP!

I deleted Watch TCM and reinstalled it.  That seems to have solved the problem.  Very easy to do.
