Channels & viewing

Qwest TV and Vivaldi seem to have been removed from the Live Streaming TV lineup as of yesterday.  Why?  When these were added to the lineup some time ago it further cemented my loyalty to Roku - among many other good things I could say about Roku.  These were true gems of among thousands of pure junk channels.  It is extremely disappointing that they've been abruptly taken away.

I agree. I've just found that Vivaldi is no longer available.  You didn't mention if Roku terminated the agreement of if Vivaldi terminated it.   Could you provide a contact for the viewers to reach out to, in order to help resolve the issues and restore the agreement?   As others have said this is/was one of the gems of Roku TV.

Disappointed,

Kevindr

@kevindr and @Vaughn63 

Vivalidi and Qwest are available on Plex (free) channel/app under their Music category in LiveTV.

Launch Plex and then Search "Vivaldi" in order to quickly access it.

@RokuLianna  Except in this case, as has been pointed out, both these channels ARE still available, we just have to jump through more hoops to get to them, and only God knows how @AvsGunnar was able to find them! So if a user knows this, why don't you Roku employees?  Instead of just telling us they come and go, it would be far more helpful to let us know where we can find these frisky channels....
