Won't show on home screen

Jump to solution

I've subscribed to Answers.tv and added it but it will not show up on my home screen. Thoughts?

Try a "System restart" from Settings->System->Power.

Did you add it from the Roku Channel Store website or from "Streaming channels" (or is it "Streaming Store"?) on your TV?  If you search for it on your TV, does it show that it's installed or does it give the option to add it?

I have this same issue with :DROPOUT, I searched for it, subscribed to the channel and opened it. Today when I opened up my Roku, I realized the channel never appeared on my home page. If I search for it again, it shows with a checkbox as if it's installed, and I can launch it from there, but that's a multi step process.  I've tried restarting the Roku with no success.

Following up, this appears to have resolved itself overnight, so about 30 - 36 hours after originally adding the channel.  If anyone has this same issue, try waiting a day, I guess.
