Roku devices will not stream Spectrum app

Jump to solution

All four of my roku devices will not stream the Spectrum app. I was on with tech support earlier today and they said the problem was with ISP and I needed to reboot my modem and router. Did that and no help. I then contacted Spectrum and they said it was a problem with Roku. So, is this a known problem?

Hi, @T4P 

Welcome to the Roku Community.

We understand your concern regarding the issue with the Spectrum app that will not stream on your Roku device, and we'll provide you with a troubleshooting step that you can perform to resolve the issue. Kindly follow the instructions below.

  1. Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the star (*) key on your remote, and choose "Remove channel".
  2. Next, restart your device from Settings > System > Power > System Restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).
  3. Once your player/TV starts up again, go to "Streaming Store" on the Home screen, and add the channel back once more.
  4. You may also refer to this link: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support
If the issue persists after performing the provided troubleshooting step,it is advisable to contact the channel provider's support team directly for further assistance. They may offer a potential workaround or indicate whether an update to their application on the Roku platform is required. It is important to note that the majority of channels available on Roku are developed and maintained by the respective channel providers.

I've done all you've suggested. Only local channels (if you subscribe) can be viewed. I've checked all three (3) ROKUs I use. The problems started a few months ago with fuzzy picture on all channels, I'd clear up the issue with a forced app update. Then 2 weeks ago, all the higher channels stopped working and now all channels less the local channels time out and blue screen.

@ScottyDog 

The only app ROKU is directly responsible for is the ROKU channel. I'd suggest contacting spectrum.

Remember this started the stream 4 weeks ago:

"All four of my roku devices will not stream the Spectrum app. I was on with tech support earlier today and they said the problem was with ISP and I needed to reboot my modem and router. Did that and no help. I then contacted Spectrum and they said it was a problem with Roku. So, is this a known problem?"

Contacting Spectrum starts the cycle over. I was hoping this community board would have better advise.

So when all these recommendations are attempted and none of them fix the problem, what can be done?  Is Roku the wrong device if trying to stream the Spectrum app?

I now have this same issue starting today. I've done all steps listed here several times throughout today. Still no Spectrum app available on any roku tvs. App is available on my phone using same router though. Now what?

I have the same issue with my 3 Roku devices. It started today. I have tried all suggestions in the threads and noe of them solve the problem. Spectrum says it is a Roku issue?

Welcome to the Roku Community, @HawkSt!

We appreciate you reaching out for support and for trying to troubleshoot the Spectrum TV app on your Roku. We'd be happy to help you contact the right support for this. 

If this is an isolated case involving the Spectrum TV app exclusively, we strongly advise that you contact their Support team for further assistance and clarification as they manage and maintain their app on the Roku streaming platform independently.

You may reach them here: Spectrum Support

For future reference, you may also visit our support article dedicated to solving playback issues: How to resolve a channel playback issue

We hope this will be sorted out soon so you can get back on streaming.

Warm regards,
Carly

i tried the fix for Spectrum/Roku multiple times. It won’t work. Since Roku updated software yesterday none of my Roku TVs work. Is there a new fix for the newest software download?
