That won't work -- its the app.  RokuChannel post-recent update doesn't work .

Re: Live TV channels not working on my Roku devices in Canada

This is obviously a global roku issue.  Stop telling people to waste their time by deleting and resinstalling the Roku Channel.  You are insulting your customers!!  Roku needs to acknowledge the problem that live tv stopped working across all ROKU devices and provide an ETA as to when a global fix will be in place.

BINGO!! 

 

It's Roku Channel - not user-error.  Ugh.  And it's been over two weeks of no live channel function. 

 

I have submitted all the requested error codes, device and driver version details -- still no fix... VERY Frustrating!!

Re: Live TV channels not working on my Roku devices in Canada

The problem is in multiple threads here on Roku forum, apparently they are aware of the issue.  The temporary hack is to disconnect from the internet, they should re-appear after that, however if you do re-connect to the internet, they will disappear again.   In my case the local OTA channels re-appeared, however many of them are still missing as of Friday afternoon.   I don't understand why they just don't rollback the bad update that caused all these issues.
