Roku Won't Authenticate Any of My U-Verse Channel Apps

Jump to solution

Roku won't sign me in to any of my U-Verse channel apps. I can get NBC live, MSNBC live and Nat Geo live but no others. It just started today. I was already having a problem with Comedy Central where it would say video is not available. That was when I try live. Today, pretty much all are saying I'm not authorized or the channel isn't in my package, etc. I have done system updates and system restart and rebooted my wifi. I even tried guest mode. There is something happening between U-Verse and Roku.

My Dad told me he thinks U-Verse is blocking due to contract issues. I don't know if that's true.

I was thinking that but I can pick up the channels through my UVerse receivers. I was playing with my other apps and I don’t have access to STARZ through the app. Paying way too much to not access these channels remotely.

Seems unlikely that they would be misbehaving on different platforms due to a contract dispute.  Technical problems at U-Verse seems more likely when multiple client platforms are affected.

You might start here:

https://www.att.com/support/article/u-verse-tv/KM1050069

Although, when I clicked, the big “check it” button on that page, I got a “page not found” error.  Whoops!  More technical difficulties??

Banned but back. Because why not?

Yes, I get uverse on the tv. It's between Roku streaming and uverse. If that's it. I can get all of them on the uverse app.

I don't need the uverse app. That's not the problem. The networks will not authorize any uverse channels.

Hi Carly,

I have been on the phone with ATT for over an hour and they authenticated and said that I had to contact each individual platform.

None of my paid for uverse channels will allow me access. I don't know what a different platform is. The common denominator is uverse.
