Re: "Maximum users streaming" message displays between episodes

Did you cancel and download from your tv screen? When I go to highlight on Brit box I’m not getting the option to cancel etc., only , “move channel”, “manage subscription” (clicked on that and it gives me torn off auto renew) or close.

Its a ROKU issue. You need to cancel Britbox through ROKU and re-subscribe through the Britbox app.

Its a ROKU issue. You need to cancel whichever is giving you the error message. And re-subscribe through the actual app.

Re: "Maximum users streaming" message displays between episodes

The problem is of recent nature with a multitude of complaints regarding same paid subscriptions. I don’t have a Roku TV, but issue is across the board. Clearly an internal issue and “ generic” answers from community moderators is of no help. I am not comfortable giving detailed info (serial number etc.) about my device. Hello Roku Team???? Currently watching Netflix to see if problem persists there, but all is good, so far!!!

Re: "Maximum users streaming" message displays between episodes

You are getting a completely different message than the one I am getting.  I'm able to click on Britbox and open it fine.  I can choose the program I want to watch and open that fine.  I can even start playing the program without problems.  It's only when I finish the first and each successive episode that I start getting the "maximum users streaming" message and am locked up.  That's when a message comes up and says a bunch of junk then gives me the 2 options--"retry" or "close".  Nothing happens if I choose "retry" but when I choose "cancel" , the menu comes up that I always get when I start a program.  That's when I can click on "resume" and FINALLY get to the place I need to be.

Re: "Maximum users streaming" message displays between episodes

Yes, I can open Brit Box from home screen, select show and it plays for awhile, then “ maximum users” message pops up. I, too get “ retry” or “ ok” option.  If I highlight Brit Box and push the *asterick /option menu button all I get is everything else except cancel or uninstall etc.,
