Westerns Channel locks up my Roku TV

Jump to solution

I subscribed to the Westerns channel but it will not play ANY selection for me.  It starts but then just hangs.  But it also locks up my TCL Roku TV.  All my other Roku subscriptions act the same way the Westerns channel just did.  I have to unplug power from the TV for a few seconds and restart to reset my TV's Roku box.  I have cancelled my Westerns subscription but of course I'm still out my $2.99 without getting to watch a single movie.
