Re: Roku devices will not stream Spectrum app
I noticed this issue today with my two Roku 4K's - when attempting to play the Spectrum TV app, I receive an error/unable to play message. However, my other, older Roku models are still playing the Spectrum TV app without issue.
I've attempted a reset of the 4K Roku's, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, powered them down, etc. Nothing appears to work.

Re: Roku devices will not stream Spectrum app
Hi @jason0331,
Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!
We appreciate you letting us know that you are unable to stream the Spectrum app on your Roku Streaming device and are getting an error message saying, "Unable to play." We would be more than willing to resolve this for you.
Since it works with your other Roku device, we suggest you try the following troubleshooting steps below:
Reset the network settings of your device
- Press Home on your Roku remote
- Scroll and select Settings
- Select Advanced System settings
- Select Network connection reset
- Select Reset connection
After the network reset is done, your Roku device will restart and you will need to return to the Settings menu and set up your wireless network again.
Please let us know if the issue persists, we would be more than willing to assist.
Regards,

Re: Roku devices will not stream Spectrum app
The icon does not show on the home screen so I cannot uninstall nor update the app. I can go to a search for the app which gives me a screen to start the app but cannot uninstall then reinstall (but the app does work then).
Thanks

Re: How do I get spectrum app to show on my Roku channel app on my TV
Hi, I am having the same issue with the Spectrum app icon not showing. It does work if I do a search for Spectrum although all I can do is start the app. There is no way to uninstall/reinstall or update the app.
Thanks

Re: Roku devices will not stream Spectrum app
Hi @KGH1,
Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!
We appreciate your trying the troubleshooting steps that we have provided above. We suggest you try to remove the Spectrum app through the Roku mobile app.
Download the Roku mobile app on your phone and log in with your Roku account then follow the steps below:

- Select Devices from the navigation bar
- Select the Apps on Roku tab on the Roku mobile app to view a list of apps installed on your Roku device

- Tap Remove and confirm your decision
After removing the Spectrum app through the Roku mobile app, restart the system of your device: Go to Settings > Select System > Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step > Select System restart.
Add again the app:
- Press the Home button of your Roku remote.
- Scroll down to the Search tab
- Type in the channel name that you want to add.
- The result will be available on the right side of the TV screen.
- Select the channel and press the OK button on your Roku remote.

We hope you find this information helpful.

Channel install failed. Could not add
I’ve been dealing with this for months now. However in guest mode, people can’t add certain channels like peacock. However if I’m not in guest mode, it works fine. I have multiple Roku Ultras…
Support says my network isn’t fast enough to download but that’s not the issue.
It says “Channel install failed. Could not add “”
Anyone know how to fix this?

Re: Roku devices will not stream Spectrum app
Thank you Riamie,
This solved my issue of the icon not showing on the Roku home page. I never had a use for the Roku app, I believe I'll keep it.
Wife happy!
