Channels & viewing

The musical streaming service, Tidal, was removed from the channel lineup.

Why?

[TerryMclure]

Great question!! Why, Roku, did you remove the Tidal channel? I listen almost daily through my TV and home entertainment system (which is incredible) so I appreciate the sound quality of lossless audio. I need it back!

[NotAChance]

I do the same! Spotify is still there(which I do not use) so this seems like something else is going on.

Please, Roku, why did this happen?

[iJaJa]

Very disappointed as well. I had to link my phone directly to my TV via Bluetooth & use Tidal from there. An inconvenient extra step. I hope whatever it is, they figure things out & add it back.

The only answer you'll ever get from anyone at Roku is:

Why is a channel no longer available on my Roku® streaming device? | Official Roku Support

Has anyone contacted Tidal? Maybe they are the ones that pulled it.

I just put in a request for an answer for why it was removed and/or when will it be restored to Roku. Thanks for the link!

I use Tidal almost every day on Roku, extremely disappointed, in fact do disappointed it may be time to stop being a Roku user, which I have been for about 15 years, Roku’s on every TV in my house, and have bought Roku’s as gifts for family members, but if Tidal is gone as an app on Roku (and I don’t care if Roku removed or Tidal did or Roku did it is a vital part of my home system more than happy to leave Roku for a another streaming device like AppleTV, Amazon’s Fire or Googles Chrome, the Tidal app is my MOST USED Roku app.  They need to figure it out fast or will follow were a stream g device that still has Tidal app is and replace all my Roku’s with new streaming platform.  Not a empty comment.  Roku if you are reading, you have about a week to get it fixed.

sny suggestion from other users in this comment tread to best alternative stream device that is still streaming Tidal???

I would sure like to know.  It was find and then suddenly, with no explanation, "no longer available."

As I noted in a previous reply, contact Tidal to see what is going on. Roku is only responsible for The Roku Channel. Everything else is up do developers/services to write, publish, and maybe remove.
