Roku channels will not load?

Has anyone received a clear cut response from Roku as to why "their" channels will not load to play?

This has become very frustrating.

@RokuERey , @RNACALVAR 

Since RNACALVAR indicated having the same issues, I suspect that on-demand is returning to the introduction screen when play is initiated and live programming is probably returning a blank screen when a program is selected.

This is a familiar complaint throughout recent threads and comments.

Roku channels not working

I have not been able to watch anything on the Roku channel this weekend.  I paid my subscription fees and need them refunded or the channels fixed. Thanks

Re: Roku channel NOT working at all

Device Model:  TCL 65R625

Serial #:  X003006U9LPW

Device ID:  S053Y99U9LPW

OS version: 12.0.0 build 4182-88

IP Address:  I can't see why you'd want my computer's IP address from whatismyip.com, so I'll give you the actual television's IP:  192.168.1.161

Tracker ID:  PW-303-826 (and from the same location, Model = A108X-Roku TV, GC Version 9.5.25).

Steps to reproduce:  try to play an episode of some show in the Roku Channel.  It usually just pops right back to the show description instead of playing.  Sometimes it will just put up a spinner.

When did it start?  Good question, the spousal unit noticed it a couple of days ago.  Sometimes it goes away.
