Re: AcornTV app not refreshing new content

Jump to solution

Hi Roku Community users,

Thank you for reporting this issue to Roku Community!

We're sorry to hear that you've been having this trouble with playing content on the AcornTV and we would be more than happy to look further into this issue but will need more details. Can you please provide us with the following information:

  • When did this issue first start occurring?
  • Could you please verify if the issue you are running into is when you're accessing the content of AcornTV standalone or through The Roku channel?
  • Does the issue only occur on a specific channel or all channels on your Roku device?
  • Does this happen on all movies/shows on AcornTV or just specific titles?

Note: Please make sure to restart your Roku device after removing the channel and before adding the channel back to ensure the process is successful.

We look forward to hearing from you and looking closely into this issue. Thank you!


Best regards,
Mary

1.  This is only on AcornTV apps.  My TCL Roku TV and Roku stick both have the same problem.  Acorn on Amazon Prime and Roku channel both work 

2.  The problem showed up last week with episode 4.  I was eventually able to get it to drop.

3.   So far the problem is just Brokenwood as far as I can tell 

4.  I think that it's just Acorn 

I got an email from them saying that they are working on it

Hi @Suelee000

Thanks for your post. 

It seems that you have already contacted Acorn TV regarding this matter. Channels on Roku are maintained by the channel developer themselves. We would recommend continuing to work with them to resolve the issue you are experiencing as they would be best able to assist you moving forward. 

Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.


Regards, 
Nimfa

Same issue here with Brokenwood when we try it on tv. We can view it on the Acorn app off our IPad.

 

Wonder if there are more than just this series.

I am having the same problem. On Monday, I was finally able to get new episodes of Murdoch Mysteries and Dalgliesh but Brokenwood still has not come up. Was starting to give up.

We are having the same problem with Brokenwood on the tv, and I can’t even get it in my iPad, even tho I updated the app. I reached out to Acorn also but got only an automatic reply so far. BTW, we are in Canada. Is it US also?

Same issue with us.  Can't get Episode 5 to show up on the Acron app.  We streamed it on a phone and cast it to a TV last night.  Have gone through the various proposed solution with no success.

I'm thinking they may just wait til Monday and put this weeks and the new episode together. 

My email back from Acorn customer service said they were "forwarding it on" 

Yeah...ok. 👌 Whatever....
