Re: Roku Channel Won't Play Anything At All

My Roku Channel won't play anything. I click on it and it just takes me back to the episode page again no matter what show it is. How can we get this fixed?

I have three 4k rokus and they all have only 3 or 4 channels that play.  Everything was fine about three days ago and thats when roku added all the extra channels.  That is when the problem started, my guess is too many channels and not enough server.

I'm having the same issues with my Roku app. It will not load content. Everything else on my TV works fine except the Roku app! This is very frustrating!!

Problem  is not resolved.  I have been providing information to a support tech. 4/19 and 4/20.  Currently still nothing is working on Roku Channel, and it appears that there are several others experiencing the same issue.

I have three ultras, one is an LT, all  have the latest updates. I have seventeen streaming channels that run through the rokus, all work fine except for the Roku channel. I am in bettendorf Iowa, Ihave excellent wifi connections and my speeds are always over 100mbps. The 3 roku are all diferent build dates and different updates.  My earlier statement still stands, everything was fine until approxamately three days ago when you added a whole bunch of extra channels to the lineup, that is when the problem occured. Loss of most of the channel lineup after this so called upgrade with extra channels, maybe it wasnt a good upgrade after all.
