Re: Black screen with sound, only with paid channels and new movies or shows

Hi Community users,

Thanks for reaching out to us here in the Roku Community!

Could you tell us more about the issue you're running into? Did you subscribe through Roku or directly through the channel provider? Are you trying to watch from the stand-alone channel/app or through "The Roku Channel"? In addition, what troubleshooting steps have you already taken to try to resolve the issue?

With more detailed information, we will be able to assist you further.

All the best,

Chel

Re: Black screen with sound, only with paid channels and new movies or shows

I select it from my Roku home screen not from the Roku channel.  Not sure why it matters I can rent or watch anything I want from the 3 other Roku TVs I have in my home.  This particular 70" TV is the one that won't allow me to watch certain movies without blacking out.

Re: Black screen with sound, only with paid channels and new movies or shows

The 3 channels are paid through roku. I have done all of the trouble shooting ideas through the 3 apps and through roku. I've replaced all cords and cables. I've changed outlets, replaced outlets, use surge protectors, not used them. Reset my internet, replaced my internet components. I've used wifi and direct connection. It is not my tv because I can Watch a movie on a free channel but the same movie on the paid will be black screen with only sound.

I emailed that info but can't get an error code or ID by hitting those buttons 5 times each when my screen is totally blacked out

Re: Black screen with sound, only with paid channels and new movies or shows

I already have several work orders some over 2 years old, I am still waiting for any sort of reply. I have not received any update or reply at all in 3 years. Not even a reply about reimbursements for payments I made for channels I can't watch. That also was blamed on everyone else. Seems like no one wants responsibility

Thanks for the response, @Snodgrass3

Before proceeding to the necessary step, we'd like to recommend performing a complete reset to your Roku device since it's only happening to one specific device. For more information, kindly visit this support article at How do I factory reset my Roku® streaming device?

Please keep us posted.

All the best,
Kash
