Hello,

Britbox on Roku channel will not load and play programming.  It worked 2 weeks ago. I was on with Roku support for 3 hours and they were unable to resolve the issue.  Router was rebooted, everything is updated. Support also had me cancel subscriptions and resubscribe Brit box says this is a Roku issue.  Roku says it is a Britbox issue.  No one is taking responsibility to resolve the problem.  Can someone help?

I have an issue with Britbox on the roku Channel. It won't play. Worked the day before.

Other channels work fine. Nobody will help me. This stinks.

The options menue does not have a remove option. It keeps saying it's there until August 7th.

I have restarted Roku several times, to no avail.

I am having the same problem. I had to let my subscription run out before I could uninstall the channel, which means I paid for a month with no service. Anyhow, I uninstalled, resubscribed, and reinstalled, and the channel won't even open for me to sign in. I did find this on the BritBox support page: Note: Roku is no longer supporting legacy models 3600 and 4400X, or any older Roku devices. Streaming the BritBox app on these older devices may not be possible.

My model is a 3900x. Is it no longer supported? If that's the case, I wish BritBox would have told me that when I gave them all my information. 

I have already tried All The Things in the canned support e-mails above.  Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is one of my favorite channels.

Hi @jmblack,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We're sorry to hear that the Roku streaming device you currently have is no longer supported by Britbox. Kindly be advised that channel partners design, maintain, and develop their channels on the Roku platform. At the moment, upgrading to a new Roku streaming device is a good option to be able to view content from channels that no longer support your current device. You can visit this link and browse for options with Roku streaming devices: Roku Streaming devices

If there's anything we can further assist you with aside from this, please don't hesitate to let us know.

All the best,
Kash
