Live tv feature does not work

Did I try rebooting, hotspot, restarting, and everything else? Yes yes yes and yes to probably everything you will ask. Nothing I've tried that's suggested in this community works. Also did all the updates. Still presented with black screen after clicking on any channel in live tv channels. My device is roku ultra....software version 14.0.4      Build 12221    Everything else works fine except Live TV. Internet is good. I need a real answer please

Re: Live tv feature does not work

Welcome to the Roku Community, @pdastcroixpasto!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Rest assured that we'll have the team look into the playback issues you're currently experiencing on your Live TV channels. 

In order to narrow down the cause of the issue, we would appreciate it if you could share with us your device details such as follows:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and current software version. (this can all be found in Settings > System > About)
  • Tracker ID (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID)

We'll be looking forward to your response so that we can check this further and provide you with a swift resolution.

Best regards,
Carly

Re: Live tv feature does not work

Hi, @pdastcroixpasto.

Thank you for giving us the necessary details. We'll forward this to the team to conduct a thorough investigation. 

In the meantime, could you also specify all of the troubleshooting steps you've performed to try and resolve this? We also suggest plugging your Roku Ultra into a different HDMI port or TV to see if you can access the Live TV channels.

We'll be looking forward to your update.

Regards,
Carly

Re: Live tv feature does not work

Tried everything I mentioned above in my first post, to include what you just mentioned i.e trying a different HDMI port. Tried resetting everything in different ways as well.....tried updating.....tried connecting to hotspot and tried what so many others mentioned in their posts. Nothing works!!!!! This is so frustrating. Just want to send the product back now.

Re: Live tv feature does not work

Are you in the US?  Is Canada involved in any way?  We've been seeing several reports from people in Canada with issues and it's usually because of an issue with the region attached to the Roku account.
