I followed the sequence

1. Uninstall the Fox news app.

2. restart Roku device.

3. Install the Fox news app.

This eliminated the problem with Fox news hanging up all the time. At least for the past two days. Before I had it every ten minutes. Keep my fingers crossed.

It is amazing that in spite of repeated advice to follow the steps outlined by the last post, many users would rather subscribe to some wild conspiracy theory that Roku is censoring the app.  Stop using add blockers and follow straight forward directions.  If you have filters, etc... set up on your router you are likely to encounter problems with many apps.  I rarely if ever use the Fox News App but it always works fine for me whenever I try to use it.

Hi,

I think your technical team working on the issue lost all credibility since the problem started in 2022 and they have been unable the find the cause and eliminate it. I believe there is a bug (virus) in the system that was intentionally placed there either by inside or outside players who want to prevent people to watch Fox News. It is time to take this seriously. You collected enough data of individual devices already with nothing to show for it.

Am unable to stream foxnews or fox business channel.

[P-518th]

Had thought I found a roundabout way to view foxnews & business. By reloading the app and waiting the free 10 minute viewing time, I was about to watch both foxnews and business channel. Today, I tried the same procedure, but now am blocked from free 10 viewing time and entering a new code. As always, trying to enter a new code leads to the swirling 13% again. Whatever this is, it is changing, blocking new ways to get around it. Who or what is doing this?

[P-518th]

Since nothing seems to be helping getting Foxnews to stop freezing at !3%, How about you let us know which news app we are allowed to stream?
