VGKTV channel won't play a show or movie

Jump to solution

I'm using the VGKTV channel for the 1st time. It appears that a movie or show downloads, the wheel goes up to 100%. Then the screen goes back to Play Now. And never any further. I have an insignia TV with roku express connected through the HDMI cable using windstream Internet.

A warm welcome here at the Roku Community, @Teetee1!

Thanks for raising your payback issues with us. We'd be more than happy to find you the best resolution possible.

May we know what troubleshooting procedures you have done to resolve the issue you've been having? Does it have any error messages prompted on your screen? If so, kindly let us know. Furthermore, try to remove the channel by navigating to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, pressing the star* button on your remote, and choosing "Remove channel." After doing so, try restarting your device from Settings > System > Power > System Restart. After your Roku device restarts, visit the Roku channel store and add the channel again. 

Let us know how it goes! We'll be looking forward to your update.

Kind regards,
Carly

Thank you for letting us know, @VGKTV_is_broken.

We sincerely apologize for any trouble this may have caused you and highly appreciate you for performing the troubleshooting procedure provided. 

Since this is an isolated case within the VGK IPTV itself, we highly recommend reaching out to their customer Support for further advice. Please be aware that the channel providers themselves create, maintain, and update most apps or channels on the Roku platform, including the VGK IPTV. 

Aside from this, let us know how we can be of assistance with or create a new thread for different concerns.

Hi @Garnetls,

Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you informing us that you've been having this trouble with playing content on the VGK TV channel.

We recommend starting performing the below steps and see if you can resolve the issue:

  1. Remove the channel from the Roku device
  2. Power cycle the Roku device, by disconnecting it from the power cable and reconnecting the device back to the power
  3. Re-add the channel back to the Roku device

One additional suggestion we would like for you to try by performing a system update. You can check for a manual system update by navigating to Home > Settings > System > System update > Check now. and see if you notice any difference.

For more troubleshooting steps with any channel playback issue, follow our Support link: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support

Please let us know if the issue is fixed or reply back to the thread for further assistance, we will be glad to help you.


Best regards,
Mary

Same here while I'm trying to watch Prey it only loads 13%. This problem has been ongoing for MONTHS.

 

And yes I've tried doing the posted procedure to fix the problem.

Hi @BOBLEG,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We understand that you are having issues with the VGKTV channel. If the issue persists on one channel after attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, don't hesitate to contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. In this case, an issue within that specific channel likely needs to be addressed with an update from them.

All the best,

Eunice

Hello Eunice,

I would gladly contact VGKTV if someone from ROKU could tell me how to do that. I've received numerous emails from ROKU and no one has bothered to give me the VGKTV contact info. You haven't supplied that info either.

That's the wrong VGK.  That's the Vegas Golden Knights NHL team.

Thanks UU123. I clicked the link and just laughed when I saw the NHL team. I didn't realize they had a streaming service LOL.

 

So we have Mods here who don't know what the frick they're talking about or how to help people. Great job ROKU.
