Re: NEWSMAX TV "Work Around" — Not a Roku Problem — You Can Still Watch Live...

What is the point of paying if you cannot watch it on your TV. This is a NewsMax problem and they should have had this fixed from the beginning.  I am sure this change was in the works for a long time.

Re: NewsMax App has been updated

Yep...........just ran a software update on the ROKU stick and it picked up the Ver 5 app upgrade for Newsmax App. I had to enter my password from my Trial Subscription and then the live version of Newsmax is now working for me on ROKU.

This is outdated information. Newsmax updated their app this morning and it now works on Roku devices for the new paid service.

Re: NewsMax App has been updated

Confirming  Version 5 update is available for the NewsMax app.

Select the NewsMax app button on the Roku apps screen and

push the asterisk button on the remote to access the menu

showing check for updates. Update the app and then open

the app to see a prompt for your login credentials used to

subscribe. After entering the login info,  the NewsMax

button  default behavior will open NewsMax Plus.
