Re: Watch TCM not working after July 15 2021 update

I have the same problem with TCM not loading on Roku. It started this week after the update on Sept. 1st. I've done the remove channel, add channel, over and over again. Nothing works.

This seems to be an exclusively Roku problem. I can get the new TCM update on my iPhone and on my laptop.

If we need to upgrade our Roku players to access the new Watch TCM - just tell us! I'd be happy to spend a few dollars to be able to watch TCM on TV again. Just tell us what we need to do!

Just to be clear, you MUST restart after app removal, and before app re-installation:

1) Remove

2) Restart

3) Reinstall

(If you dont restart after removal, settings/cached data associated with the app are left behind and it wont be a clean re-install)

All that said: reinstall isnt working for most TCM users (especially those with older models), so if you do the correct reinstall procedure and it still doesnt work, you need to contact Roku/TCM:

Re: Watch TCM not working after July 15 2021 update

I am having the same problem as described by everybody else. Removing and re-adding the app, restarting the Roku still does not help, it just auto closes if I try to do anything on Watch TCM. 

Model: 3941RW - Roku Express 4K+

Serial number: X01600TD9CLA

Software version: 10.01 build 4180-CR

Device ID S0AH515D9CLA

Would appreciate any help regarding the matter! Thanks!

That's the wrong reinstall sequence.

The correct reinstall sequence is:  1) Remove 2) Restart 3) Reinstall  (in that exact order)

(If you dont restart after removal, settings/cached data associated with the app are left behind and it wont be a clean re-install)

So you might want to try again, in the correct order (it may or may not fix the issue for you).
