MLB Channel Not Available or Not Working

My MLB channel is not working. It just spins and then kicks me out. I have deleted the channel,  reset my Roku, and then added the channel back on. Still not working. Any other ideas?

    Your message shows you are using an old Roku 2 XS. I still have a 2 XS (model 3050X) on a little-used guest bedroom tv, and it is doing the same thing. There is no problem on my other two, newer, Rokus on other tvs.

    The latest update to the MLB channel apparently requires the processing capabilities of the newer Roku models.

    Roku models currently supported by the MLB channel:
    3700X, 3710X, 3800X, 3810X, 3900X, 3910X, 4200X, 4210X, 4230X, 4400X, 4620X, 4630X, 4640X, 4660X, 5000X, 6000X, 7000X, 8000X
    (note: 3050, etc. not listed)

I have model 2710X - Roku 1, software 9.3.0 and getting screen which states MLB is no longer supported on this device.

MLB page which shows devices supported does not show this device, but it also does not show new current devices being sold now????

That list obviously needs to be updated to include current models.  But units that are older than the ones listed, like your Roku 1, were already lacking the capability to run MLB when the list was published and are still lacking the capability now.
