Re: roku channel wont load

@Timcosby

Thanks for the post.

Can you please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing?

Try removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more.

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

Thanks,
Danny

Re: roku channel wont load

I'm having the same problem. I can't access the Roku channel or my subscription to Acorn on Roku. It just goes in a loop. It's a weird problem.

Re: Channels going back to Home screen

Mine too. Pluto Tv, Roku channel, Tubi channel all won't load, it just goes back to the home list of channels. This is on the new Roku sound bar on a Samsung tv. Wish they'd fix it!
