Re: Only 2 channels work after after new remote paired

Jump to solution

I would have to move my parents to Amazon device if this is not solved in a couple of days

I bought the Amazon device but it was more complex to use it so we switched to ROKU

Hopefully they fix it

Re: Error: Can't run channel. Prime, Sling & bunch of others

Hey for anyone interested I have solved this for my Roku 3800RW stick. I tried the entire suggested list of fixes, none of them worked. I have never changed screensavers or themes but since one of the suggestions was to set to the default theme (mine already was on roku default),  I tried changing the theme to something else. In my case I went and 'got' the Nautical Theme, set the nautical theme as the default and then tested the Youtube channel. Amazingly it now works. So try fiddling with different themes it seems to have resolved my issue.

Hope this helps someone!

Okay - I got it to work. I NEVER had Aquatic Life before. I found it and set it as my Screen Saver. I somehow got the Aquatic Life channel as well. YouTube worked! I then removed both the channel and Screen Saver and YouTube continued to work. Restarted Roku and still working. I then used YouTube to set up YouTube TV (it's the last menu item on bottom left side of YouTube - at least for me). 

I have two streaming sticks (not 4K) and more details on previous post earlier today. Good luck everyone, seems like it's a compatibility problem with awkward ways of fixing, but many seem to involve Aquatic Life.

Great!  We appreciate your attention to the matter! However, what is the compensation for not being able to log on to paid streaming sites for days at a time?
