Re: NFL Not Using Cable Authentication

I’m having the same issue and it turns out my sister and parents as well. This is extremely frustrating. This is the one thing I want to use my Roku for and I end up having to watch on my phone. Please fix this!

Re: NFL Not Using Cable Authentication

Jumping in here as well. As of December 24 9:30 PM EST I signed into the Roku NFL app with my Optimum credentials and it will not let me access the New England - Denver game on right now. I can watch it on my cable subscription but not via the Roku app.

Re: NFL Not Using Cable Authentication

Who cares less - nfl or Roku? Somehow the geniuses who program the AppleTV app have figured this out. Too much for the Roku brain trust?

Re: NFL Not Using Cable Authentication

@roku I am having the same issue. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, updated, logged out/logged back in, you name it and it is not working with the Roku. It is working just fine with my fire stick as of now. It’s sad we pay for the subscription; but can’t watch the games on our tv unless we screen share. Help. This is frustrating. 

issue ID: 33-008-500

Model 3910RW- Roku Express

However, it happens on all Roku devices.

Oh boy! It's Week 18! What did the Roku Team have to say? Certainly this news came as a shock!
