Re: Cannot watch the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

The Roku Channel is working fine now, and it seems to work better than ever.  I changed nothing on my settings of the Roku, or my router, or my modem.  But this afternoon it simply works now, no problem.  I did not even update the Roku.  Weird, but true....

Same for me. I only use Roku with my mobile phone, no tv or other devices. I've tried 4 using Firefox, safari, chrome, Microsoft Edge Samsung internet all with same error message. It's got nothing to do with internet connection which was solid the whole time. Would be nice to get refunded for the month or more that we haven't been able to use this service.

Hi @bkblisa,

Warm greetings from the Roku Community!

We appreciate the added information about this case, and we do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

How about giving it a try by connecting your mobile phone to a different network and seeing if you're still seeing the same issue occur?

Keep us posted!

Thanks,

Rey

And Roku support is NOT assisting with this issue.   I recommend we all drop ROKU and move to TUBI.

This is happening very frequently for me as well, multiple titles on (both shows and movies) https://therokuchannel.roku.com/

Issues with both Firefox and Chrome, clearing cache doesn't help at all.

Very cryptic error: "Something went wrong"

do you have the app on your phone so you can test it on your wireless, and data plan?

Re: Cannot watch anything on the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

Can I have a solution.

Whilst I cannot view any programme on the Roku channel whilst on wifi, I can view some selected programmes on the ROKU channel on my cell. I also cannot cast from the cell to the tv whilst I am on the ISP Data, however the app itself does not lend itself to the usual monkey see monkey do IMO it is badly designed as the first thing on the app it says quote the Roku channel has moved, which indicates that ROKU has done something at their end.

My question to ROKU is it their intention that the ROKU channel has ports closed  for whatever reason. Why the ROKU app does not respond  similarly to apps like Pluto Cracker etc!.

ROKU fault is that some isp's work and some isp's do not work.

My question is why does ROKU not configure there interface so that all ports respond in the same way as say Pluto. They must have an hidden agenda.

It is not rocket science for this to be done!!

Re: Cannot watch anything on the roku channel. not on my computer, phone, or devices.

Whilst using a VPN with a server in the U.S.A. I was unable to view programmes on the Roku channel.

While using my American ISP without a VPN I was able to view programs on the Roku channel.

Hope this helps.
