Channels & viewing

[Cassandra-S]

I can't find The Daily Wire on my Roku Express under the News and Weather category and I don't have a search function. I got in touch with The Daily Wire and they sent me the channel page on the website: https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/details/91e3a97217ac5ddba39fdd3498af8029/the-daily-wire

But the +Add Channel button is greyed out for me and I can't add it. Any suggestions?

I live in New Zealand and I don't know if that has anything to do with what's available to me or not. The Daily Wire said it is available to international customers on Roku.

I think the issue is because New Zealand is not "directly" supported by Roku.  Although some Channels/apps may be able to be installed on devices in unsupported countries, I think it will be very limited (if at all possible.)   The Search feature on the Roku device is limited to supported countries and the device is further limited to searching only for those Channels/app available to that country for installation.

Roku is currently supported in the following countries (North America - Canada, United States ; Europe - France, Germany, United Kingdom ; Latin America - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatamala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru).

Roku devices will work in unsupported countries, just limited in what can be installed on them.

I am not sure if you have had success in installing other Channels/apps from the online Roku Channel Store (https://channelstore.roku.com) , but if you have, see if KlowdTV (free) is available to you.  They also carry the Daily Wire.

I am not sure how New Zealand IP addresses access the Roku Channel Store. I would try the above links. If having to do through the UK Roku Channel Store, then link would be https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/details/dd2db9163eda3401f069e2529b1ef4bb/klowdtv.

Thanks, I'll try that. It looks like KlowdTV is available for me to add.

KloudTV never allowed me to use The Daily Wire. One time it just loaded forever and the next time I tried, it crashed the Roku.

But fortunately, The Daily Wire has now become available for me under 'News and Weather', so I've added it!

Good to hear you found a way to watch it that works for you.

Sometimes on KlowdTV, you will find you have to back out the Channel/app, then relaunch it when it gets stucks on the loading circle. (message re: locating streaming services.)

Sometimes these Channels/apps just have some quirks to them.
