Hi @btgcarter,

Thank you for the precise details you have shared regarding this issue with the Prime channel.

We would suggest restarting your router or connecting the device to a mobile hotspot just to check if there will be a difference in streaming. If the issue is persistent only to this specific channel, we would highly suggest that you contact the channel provider directly here and inquire further.

We hope this helps. You can keep us informed of your findings.

All the best,
Janadee

It won't let you re add it, either. This is ridiculous.

Prime on my Roku works fine then it starts temporarily freezing so bad it it is hard to watch.  I did not have this problem until after they started pushing commercials.  I have restarted 100s of times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several time, updated software, and everything else I could find to try.  I also have a few other streaming channels that do not have this problem.  I also have an Amazon fire on another tv and it does not have this problem.  What is going on?

This solution still did not work for me.  Prime launches, but I always get the something went wrong Message when trying to watch a video.  It’s happening on two different Rokus.  It works fine on other platforms.  I’ve restarted the modem,  the router, the Roku, removed/reloaded app - every suggestion I’ve found.  Still won’t play.

I have three Roku devices. Until this last weekend Prime played fine on all three. Now one of them only allows me to access it as a nonsubscriber, the other two work fine. The wayward one doesn't give the opportunity to log in to my account.

I've reset the Roku device and that did not help. I'm hesitant to remove and reinstall the Prime channel on my Roku because it might screw it up on the other two Rokus instead.
