Channel Issue:  Channel Install Error when adding channels

• 9/27/2021 9:30 AM PST 

Issue:
Some customers have reported an issue when adding channels to their device and receiving a "Channel install error".  If you are experiencing this, you will not need to contact customer support.  Roku is investigating and will provide an update here periodically with more information.

Workaround steps:

1. After receiving the channel install error, check your home screen as the channel may have been successfully added.
2. If the channel install failed, please try to add the channel again as an additional attempt at the install may resolve the initial issue.
3. If you are still unable to add the channel, try again later as we are continuing to investigate this issue.

In some cases, your Roku may just need to be rebooted. Try to restart and maybe the problem will gone cookie clicker

Did a factory reset because I was unable to add channels and delete channels. Now it's just a paper weight. And ideas??

I’m having the same issue. Just bought a brand new express 4K and cannot download any apps at all. Is there a fix for this?

[NinerFaithful]

My new Roku express is doing the same thing. No channels pre-loaded and unable to download any either. Is this being fixed or do I need to return?
