The first thing to try is a "System restart" found under Settings->System->Power.  You should also probably try a "Software update" found under Settings->System.

How did you get it working? Same problem here. No programs will load on any of my streaming platforms in the Roku home screen.

Hi @diana310,

Thanks for the first post to the Roku Community!

We understand you are having trouble streaming on your Roku TV and would like to know how to identify and resolve this issue.

Refer to these questions to better identify the issue you're experiencing:

  • What model is your Roku TV? (Hisense, TCL, ONN, Select Series, Pro, Series, Plus Series, etc.)
  • When did you notice the issue start?
  • Are you receiving error messages or codes when accessing the channel?
  • Are there any changes in the setup or settings of your Roku device or your network provider that might cause the problem?
  • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to resolve the issue?
  • Have you tried removing the channel you observed this issue on from the Roku home screen? Then, restart your device. Once it loads up again, add the channel and try playing content again.

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

All the best,
Chel
