I’ve done something similar: I move my Roku device to a different tv and start whatever isn’t working and then move the device back to my original tv. It usually works but your idea is so much better/more convenient. Next time, I’ll try starting the show on my iPad or iPhone first. Thanks!
FINALLY A SOLUTION!!! Just saw this posted on Reddit. It absolutely worked for me. Simply change your AUDIO settings as follows:
Settings -> Audio -> HDMI -> change “auto detect” to Dolby Digital.
No restart required. Thank you "MeatyOchre!"
Yes!!! Finally a permanent solution! Thank you
I'm having this exact problem. I've tried the same things with no luck. I've talked to both Roku and AppleTV+ support, and no help. Frustrated!
This worked for me for two weeks. I wanted to watch the season two finale of Ted Lasso this morning and OF COURSE this fix no longer works. 🤬
Edit:
I tried again and in the time it took to type the above paragraph it worked again.

For my Roku 3800 I had to go "Settings" -> "Audio" -> select "Stereo" instead of "Auto (DD)". Just fyi.
Your solution works for me – thank you! I’ve been looking for the solution for so long. And it’s frustrating that Apple‘s channel behaves this way!
I appreciate the post!
Thank you so much! I had tried everything and when I saw your suggestion I ran and changed to 4K 60hz and BAM! It worked!! *Virtual double high five*

I had this same issue and was able to resolve by turning off auto detect video on the Roku settings.
I changed my setting from 4k HDR 60hz to 4k 60hz. I was able to play all videos after this change
Resetting the Roku video from autodetect to 4k-60 Hz worked perfectly for me for my Samsung QLED display. I now receive Apple TV and can watch Foundation! I noted that 4K-60 Hz UHD does not work. Thanks!
Thanks, that worked for me. However, the Roku stick worked great after initial setup right out of the box. It wasn’t until after the 3 episode that we tried to watch that it started showing the Video Unavailable message. Roku stick 4k V.2021
