@upset1235 @woody27

Thanks for providing us your information.

I have forwarded them to the appropriate Roku team to investigate the issue further. Once we got an update, we'll post it in this thread.

Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Have you forced an update via Roku menu path Settings > System > System update > Check now?

I’ve got Streaming Sticks on three TVs. Two of them have had no problem and are working fine. The other one wouldn’t load Sling TV app on 9/14 and 9/15. Many others posted the same issue then.

Next day Roku moderator Danny posted “Resolved”. I followed his steps and sure enough Sling opened. However, it now gives me a seemingly random package of channels and does not contain the ones it should have. For example, no Fox News, no CNN, no MSNBC, no Bloomberg, etc.

Error is not corrected.  Followed steps and problem persists.  Other units are working, roku express + continues to have the issue.  I have checked for updates, removed the app, rebooted and reinstalled, nothing is working.  Software version 10.0.0 build 4209-ae

@Briclem01 

The following workaround may work for you.

ATTENTION:  If you still cant load YouTube/YouTube (or other apps):

1) Check for updates:  Settings/System/System update/Check now

2) Restore the default theme:  Settings/Theme/Restore default theme

3) Use a simple screensaver:  Settings/Theme/Screensavers/Roku Digital Clock/Set as screensaver

4) Load YT/YTTV/apps

** EVEN IF YOU ALREADY PERFORMED THESE STEPS, DO THEM AGAIN **
