Still doing same thing on day 3 now.   This old house channel won’t load up on any of my Roku devices.    It will load up on my Amazon fire stick.

@Derekparker,

Thanks for the prompt response!

We would suggest connecting your device to an alternative network, like a mobile hotspot, and then trying again to see if that works.

If the problem persists, please let us know the details below.

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About).
  • Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button five times, followed by the Back button five times, and provide us with this ID).
  • Can you provide a video or screenshot of the issue you're experiencing?

We'll be able to flag the appropriate Roku team once we this information available.

Thanks,
Rey

It does this on all three of my Roku tvs and even my Roku ultra device.  All tvs and ultra device have the most current software update.    I have deleted the app and reinstalled it and same thing happens.   If I use an Amazon firestick to load the this old house app it will work on firestick.  But on my Roku devices and TVs, if I click on the this old house app, this screen above comes on and it never goes farther than that.   It is just frozen at this screen and I have to hit home button to pick a different app

This is the tracker id.   
also it does it whether I am on a wireless network or a wired network.     Again if I use a firestick connected to the tv this old house app works fine.  If I use my Roku ultra connected to same tv it does not.   I have theee other Hisense Roku TVs and have same problem.    This started 3 days ago.
