Rey, I’ve manually uninstalled and reinstalled, checked updates, cleared cache, and restarted everything from my router to the Roku. I’ve tried a different network and still the same thing.

I open The Roku Channel and choose any show press OK to get to the selection then choose play Season X Episode X it says please wait the screen flashes and your right back waiting to press play Season X Episode X this is going on 3 days now.

Here is one of the Roku details:

Software version 12.0.0. build 4184-04

I have done the following to no avail:

1. Removed Roku channel, rebooted Roku and reloaded channel

2. Switched off Roku, router and Fibre ONT for 5 minutes and rebooted

3. Reset 1 Roku above

4. I changed VPN IP address and also removed the VPN

5. All other channels work perfectly, it is ONLY the Roku channel which does not

ALL TITLES in roku channel when play is selected, revert back to the title & nothing happens.

Roku Channel on a Roku TV won't play shows.  If you try to play any episode of any show it just brings you back to the previous page over and over again.  Has been going on 3 days now.  Tried resetting tv to factory settings, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Roku channel.  Nothing works.  Anybody have this problem and a solution that actually works?

Most channels aren't loading.  They just keep buffering.  Has been happening for a few days.
