It shows that is an Active Subscription. The Inactive status shows on my Roku player on my TV.

BTW, does Roku have a chat feature that I can access? They are no longer taking phone calls.

If you subscribed through Roku, rather than through some other 3rd party or directly on the discoveryplus.com website, can you access it through The Roku Channel?

Re: Discovery + subscription shows it is inactive

@Dejacobs  I am having the same issue. Can't find an answer anywhere, have been charged for the month, and a week in can't watch #discovery+. 

Makes no sense. Says "inactive subscription", prompts me to select a plan, I select, then it reads "you have already purchased this product"....go to help.discovery blahblah

my roku reads, active till next month.

It's stupid! The website gives no info!

Re: Discovery + subscription shows it is inactive

Here's how I solved this issue:

1) Went to my Roku account and cancelled the subscription.

2) Launched the discovery+ website and setup sign-in info.

3) Purchased the subscription through the discovery+ website.

Since doing this, I'm able to watch the channel on my Roku with no issues. Hope this helps...

Re: Discovery + subscription shows it is inactive

Me three!. I was billed on 2/5 $7.45 after the free trial period. It shows as active via Roku subcriptions, but once logged in the app shows,"inactive status" and to pick a plan; then shows I have already chosen it. They need to get it together!! In the meantime between time, I was billed and can't watch. There is no real support.
